Toronto strip mall to be torn down for huge multi-tower condo development
An evolving development proposal aims to replace a shopping plaza in Etobicoke and replace it with a dense community of condos.
Liberty Development is pursuing plans to redevelop Six Points Plaza, a suburban strip mall at 5230 Dundas Street West, a block and a half west of Kipling Avenue. The current plaza is home to several businesses, including a Bulk Barn, a Starbucks, and a Wine Rack location, among others.
The developer intends to build out a roughly 5.4-acre site, including the strip mall and an adjacent single-family home converted to a commercial unit, with a multi-phased development with five buildings spread across four development blocks.
First proposed in 2021 with seven towers as tall as 45 storeys from architects Arcadis, the plan was revised in a 2023 resubmission to a six-tower scheme, axing one of the buildings but increasing the overall density proposed for the site.
The current plan — approved by the City in 2023 — includes five towers with heights of 25, 36, 41, 43 and 45 storeys. A total of 2,387 residential units and 4,859 square metres of non-residential space are planned across the entire site, along with a new J-shaped public road and 1,900 square metres of public parkland.
New plans were filed for the 36-storey building in this community, which is proposed to be constructed as an initial phase.
This first phase tower — rising from a six-to-eight-storey base building — would house 545 condominium units along with almost 1,950 square metres of commercial space.
A three-level underground parking garage is proposed with spaces for 270 cars, along with 422 bicycle parking spaces. With a ratio of roughly one parking space to every two units, a large share of building residents would be expected to get around via the nearby Kipling TTC and GO stations just a block to the south of the site.
Still, it's worth noting that the up to 270 cars added to the mix only represent the first phase of development, and it is likely hundreds more would be added in later phases.
The 2023 vision called for over 740 spaces spread across the site, something locals might want to brace for.
