A proposed development at 35 Plains Road East seeks approval for a 12-storey mixed-use building. It includes 161 residential units, rooftop amenities overlooking Lake Ontario, and ground-level commercial spaces. The design prioritizes a spacious streetscape along Plains Road East and conceals vehicular access within the building envelope on Cooke Boulevard.

The proposal is still in the pre-application stage and requires changes to the city’s official plan and zoning bylaw, which will need formal approval from city council. A virtual public meeting is scheduled for June 10 at 6 p.m., where stakeholders will present the project and address inquiries.
