A 31-story residential high-rise designed by British architect Sir David Chipperfield—his first project in Toronto—has been proposed for the Rosedale neighborhood. The redevelopment at 38–50 Park Road would deliver 289 rental units, including 40 replacements for existing tenants, along with new non-residential space.
The site sits just north of Church Street and east of Yonge, backing onto Lawren Harris Park and within walking distance of the Bloor-Yonge subway interchange. The design integrates a heritage-listed 1954 office building by John C. Parkin that was originally built for the Ontario Association of Architects. It will retain the property at the north end and link to the new high-rise by a glazed connection.
The proposed brick-clad building will have a total gross floor area of 25,041 square meters and an FSI of 14.2. Amenities total 1,156 square meters, split evenly for indoor and outdoor areas. Parking would include 31 vehicle spaces and 329 bicycle spaces as the location is adjacent to a major transit station area, near Bloor-Yonge station and close to the Rosedale Valley Road Multi-Use Trail, slated for redesign in 2026.
BDP Quadrangle will act as the Architect of Record.
