Located near the corner of Church and Charles, the development would rise on a 340-sq.-m lot and include 16 residential units over 1,573 sq. m. of gross floor area.Located near the corner of Church and Charles East, the development would rise on 340-sq.-m lot and include 16 residential units over 1,573 sq. m of residential gross floor area. Each floor would be home to two units, with architectural plans also showing a rooftop with 44 sq. m of green landscaping.

Completed in 1873, the heritage home at 66 Charles East is defined by a “mansard roof that has patterned slate shingles, flared and extended eaves with paired brackets, wood dormers with classical detailing,” according to the Heritage Impact Assessment .Meanwhile, the proposed build would echo the Victorian design of the base with a red-brick exterior.

Inline with preserving the address’s historical charm, the home will serve as the residence’s lobby, with the “historic” front door to be preserved as the main entrance. The interior structure, however, will be renewed. In approved, the Charles Street development would represent a strategic infill of free airspace above one of downtown Toronto's remaining historical structures, while still prioritizing conservation of the city's history and preservation of significant architectural styles.Development ProjectsLark Group To Convert 10 Floors Of 23-Storey Surrey Office Tower Into Hotel“It wasn’t a ‘blow the doors off’ month by any means,” says Shaun Cathcart, CREA’s Senior Economist.
