OLT approves the neighboring Madison Group suggestions in Midtownur
Three new towers have cleared a large hurdle in the Eglinton Avenue west of the Yonge Street, since a consolidation of two neighboring Madison Group in the Ontario Land Tribunal was fundamentally approved. Audax was processed from 40 to 49 floors and earlier proposals for 50-90 Eglinton West and 17-41 Henning Avenue were revised into an integrated development plan that would insert new Parklands and at the same time brought in a suburban facade from the 1920s.

The new designs for both websites were created by Audax and took over Turner Fleischer Architects as design architects. The revisions react to years of feedback and calls at the two locations. The heights were curtailed on Eglinton and increases to Henning, which redistributed the density and at the same time treated the concerns about shading and transition concerns. The proposal combined by retail clothing on Eglinton with a quieter high-rise with a medium block on Henning and forms an L-shaped footprint that is on foot from the Eglinton Station in Yonge Line 1 and soon also Eglinton Line 5.

The combined location extends over the southern end of a block that is limited by the Eglinton Avenue West in the south, the Henning Avenue in the west and the duplex Avenue in the east. It contains the full addresses of 50 to 90 Eglinton West and 17 to 41 Henning Avenue, which were consolidated to a coordinated location of 6,176 m².

The block currently contains a mixture of commercial buildings, a parking lot of surfaces and apartments with a low building and a Toronto hydro building from the 1920s. Current uses include mid-rise apartments in the west, low-rise houses in the north and the existing and planned high-rise building, which surrounds Yonge and Eglinton in the east.

The revised location of the Eglinton Avenue now has two towers, the 46 (159.58 m) and 49 floors (169.03 m) rise from the previously proposed 46 and 58 floors. Together the towers would contain 1,101 condominiums, from 1,206. The gross base area (GFA) for the design of 69,379 m² and results in a floor surface index (FSI) of 13.18 time cover. Of these, 66,241 m² of residence are, while 3,138 m² are reserved for retail use in front of the Eginton Avenue West.
The equipment areas largely stay with the previous plan and offer 1,887 m² indoors and 866 m² outdoors. Architecture plans require six lifts per tower or one Pro 92 units, which indicates good response times. Below the degree, a three-stage garage would offer 217 vehicle carriers of 230 previously and 924 long-term and 116 short-term bicycle parking spaces.

The Henning Avenue meeting is located in a medium-block area that would be renovated with 40 floors that rise to a height of 137.6 m, an increase compared to the 34 floors and 119 m. The updated design comprises 458 condominium units, compared to 390 in the earlier submission, which was previously served by four elevators or approximately one Pro 115 units from 95 units. High -speed engines would be required for an appropriate service.
The GFA would be 30,767 m² (around 25,490 m²) as a whole, all residential buildings, which leads to an FSI of 15.13 times. The equipment areas contain 687 m² indoors and 479 m² outdoors. A two -story underground garage would include 45 parking spaces in residential areas that match the previous proposal, as well as 352 long -term and 88 short -term bicycle parking spaces. A central feature of the approved plan is a new public park with 589 m², which is to be transferred to the city at the northern end of the site in Henning Avenue.

The location is around 235 m northwest of the Eglinton station and benefits from close access to line 1 and the soon open line 5. Avenue Road Station Online 5 is about 360 m west. TTC bus lines work along the Eglinton Avenue.
The updated plans were fundamentally approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal in March 2025 after a settlement between Madison Group and the city of Toronto. The decision solves two separate appeals as part of a consolidated framework. The final approval is subject to a number of conditions, including detailed technical checks, execution of an inheritance relief contract for the Hydro building in Toronto and the completion of the Parkland transport. A final arrangement of the tribunal is issued as soon as these conditions are met.

The projects are located in the reinforced Yonge -Eginton node of the Midtown Toronto. A 59-story tower is proposed directly to the east at 36 Eglinton West, while 1 Eginton East is planned for 65 floors. In the northeast, 2350 and 2346 Yonge would increase by 50 and 56 floors. Southeast, 2180 Yonge will deliver five towers of 45 to 65 floors. Madison's projects at 110 and 150 Eglinton East, which were designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, would contain Twin Towers in 58 and 61 floors.
