111 Strachan is a planned mid-rise infill development that will replace a former gas station & mechanic shop with 314 new residential housing units, while preserving a beautiful heritage building. The project is located between two future higher order transit stations, and steps to some of the largest greenspaces in downtown Toronto. The design aims to preserve the residential character of Strachan Ave with townhouses at grade, but also seeks to activate the laneways with laneway townhouses wrapping the rear of the building. The rehabilitated commercial building and the townhouse units proposed along Strachan Avenue will help to animate the streetscape, while the architecture provides a seamless transition from the King Street West corridor toward Trinity Bellwoods Park.
