多伦多教堂街开发项目拟建61层

It’s been almost eight years since Pemberton Group filed plans for 139-149 Church Street and 18-20 Dalhousie Street, which is a stone’s throw from St. Michael's Hospital in downtown Toronto. Given the proximity, redevelopment is a tall order — the plans must be sympathetic to the City’s housing needs and the evolving tall building context of the area, without obstructing the hospital’s helicopter flight path.

By May 2020, the developer had picked up 137 Church Street, and filed a revised application contemplating a 54-storey tower instead. Because of the trickiness surrounding how the building might encroach on St. Michael's airspace, Pemberton continued to revise the proposal twice more, even after appealing it to the Ontario Land tribunal in September 2021 over the City’s lack of decision. Finally, the OLT approved a settlement in in August 2022 for a 54-storey mixed-use building with a 27-storey step back that was acceptable to the hospital’s airspace regulations at that time.
