Revised Architectural Plans for 1327-1339 Queen East submitted to City Planning

Rockport has submitted a revised set of plans to the city - (go to this link and click on supporting documentation and download Architectural Plans October 16th to see their changes (http://app.toronto.ca/DevelopmentApplications/associatedApplicationsList.do?action=init&folderRsn=3515067) for the development at 1327-1339 Queen East.

The most worrisome change is that there are now eight garage bays for the townhouses opening directly on Memory Lane! The height has not changed – it is still 25.8 metres but now they are showing a mechanical that is wrapped with Penthouse units so the height with wrapped mechanical looks to be 26.8 metres with the elevator shaft climbing slightly higher. In effect, the building is now nine storeys tall.  There are larger units and as a result the number of units has decreased. Parking has decreased as they have taken out a floor of parking but have not lowered the building
