It has been almost two years since construction began at the Whitehaus Condominiums, but a new planning application by Diamond Schmitt Architects and Turner Fleischer Architects shows an increase in the tower's height in exchange for some concessions to the City of Toronto according to Urban Toronto.
The height was originally approved for 29 storeys and 100 metres and now two new levels have been added to the tower making it 31 storeys and 107.2 metres. This changes the building's gross floor area from 33,170 m2 to 34,498 m2 and the number of units from 378 to 404 units.
Another change is changing one floor of the underground garage from residential parking to commercial. This paid parking level will be for 71 of the 196 spaces in the parking garage which consists of three floors. However, 17 of the commercial spaces are being reserved for residential visitors.
In exchange for these changes, the developers are providing $440,000 for local streetscape and parkland improvements. Additionally, they will be installing a pair of "real-time transit service display boards" in the condo lobby and retail entrance.
