Single Tower Replaces Two-Tower Plan in Thornhill near Future Clark Station

Sunfield Communities has submitted a revised application for 16 Glen Cameron Road on the Thornhill Markham page, where a previous two-tower plan was revised into a single 55-story residential tower designed by RAW Design. The project would be the highest proposal in the immediate area around the future Clark Subway Station, a station north of the city border in Toronto on the Yonge Line 1 North U Bahn extension. The location is located within the border between Clark Major Transit Station.

The site is a meeting of 16 to 30 Glen Cameron Road on the north side of the street between the Yonge Street and the Dudley Avenue as well as two short blocks south of Clark Avenue, where the new U -train station is located. The property is currently in a transition area in Thornhill, in which the residential streets with low stations return to the Yonge corridor. While the Dudley Avenue is lined with single -family houses in the east, the wider surroundings have been pushed forward through increasing high -rise buildings.

An earlier submission from July 2024 presented a few towers of 44 and 47 floors (150 m and 155.45 m) on a six -story podium. After the feedback from the employees of the city of Markham and the York region, the plan for the newly revised official planning change and the applications to change the zoning of zones was revised in order to reduce the overall density and a shift in the unit mix.

The revised plan provides for a single tower that rises 55 floors or 183.35 m and is set over an eight -story podium and consolidated the density in a structure with a maximum tower floor plate of 870 m². The entire gross base area would now measure 51,996 m², all residential areas and delivers a floor surface index of 15.75 times the cover of the 4,216 m² assembly. Living suites were attributed to 690, from 1,097 in the two-tower scheme. The new suite mixture emphasizes larger formats with 238 a bedroom, 417 two-room rooms and 35 three-room rooms.

The equipment programming would occupy 2,260 m². Of these, 661 m² is planned as an interior, with 1,599 m² outdoors. These areas are distributed between the ground floor and the ninth level above the podium. Vehicle parking spaces are 377 stands in an underground garage with five stages compared to the 286 rooms over three levels of the previous plan. This includes 312 Resident Spaces, 61 for visitors and four car shape and pick-up/delivery stains. There would be 765 bicycle rooms that are shared between 621 long-term and 144 short-term places.

The location is about 450 m from the planned Clark Station. If this building were completed before its opening, the residents would be operated by the transit routes of several York region, with stops of up to 180 m from the property. With a view to Yonge Line 1, the expansion of the Yonge Line 1 to 2033 will bring five new stations north of Finch to improve the connections by Vaughan and Markham to Richmond Hill. For cyclists, separate lanes run along the Clark Avenue for over 4 km west, supplemented by joint distances on the nearby Henderson and Dudley Avenues.

Several other high -rise growth plans are located in different phases along the corridor of the Yonge Street. In the nearby projects, Veneta on Yonge in the north with 44 floors belong. Further south is Grandview Tower in 36 Storeys, Liv on Yonge at 12 and 44 floors and 7079 Yonge Street on 45 floors. North along the corridor, an application for 7509–7529 YONGE Street requires a few 60-story towers.
