YONGE AND BOND PROJECT

MEETING WITH THE CITY OF RICHMOND HILL URBAN DESIGN DEPARTMENT As a result of the 1st submission which took place in Spring of 2018, we received various comments regarding the proposed development. One of the most significant changes came from the Urban Design department which proposed a re-orientation of the internal blocks, an increase of the landscape area at the North East corner of the site and removal of the access to Yonge Street. As a result we met with

Richmond Hill

the Urban Design department in August of 2018. After several revisions and we were able to reach an

DORMER BOND

agreement with Urban Design. We provided more landscaping and re-oriented the internal block as per the Town’s request however, in exchange we were able to maintain the access to Yonge St. and were able to increase the number of units from 115 to 116, and subsequently 120 units.

SECOND SITE PLAN AND REZONING SUBMISSION

Completion of Land Assembly MARCH 2017

Our Second SPA/ZBA submissions took place on December 21st 2018. The second submission was delayed due to the municipal elections which took place in 2018. As a result our second submission was completed in December (First Submission was April 5th 2018).

First Submission Completed APRIL 2017

PUBLIC MEETING The Public Meeting has been confirmed for February 6, 2019. While there are no guarantees, we are expecting a favorable outcome. From a Planning point of view our proposal complies with the Official

Second Submission COMPLETED DECEMBER 2018

Plan as well as the Provincial Policy Statement, however, it remains to be seen if the public raise any concerns with the development.

JOINT VENTURE WITH BUILDER Public Meeting FEBRUARY 2019

We have had several meetings with two Construction companies. After many discussions we have decided to choose a company with a lot of experience in Construction. This company not only has significant experience and excellent track record but also has good relationship with banks and other financial institutions. In this regard, they will assist us in obtaining better financing terms for land and also for future construction loans.

BAYVIEW SHEPPARD PROJECT

LAND ASSEMBLY At this time, the land assembly for this project consists of 3 lots: 2810, 2812 and 2814 Bayview Avenue. Negotiations for a 4th lot (2816 Bayview) have taken place however no agreement has been reached yet. This lot is not critical to this project however, we will continue to negotiate with its owner and if a deal is made, the addition of the 4th lot will result in an increase to the total GFA and number of units of the

North York

project.

DORMER BAY

CHANGE FROM TOWNHOMES TO APARTMENT CONDO Given the site’s proximity to the subway and Highway 401 we felt that a mid-rise building is a better fit for this location than townhomes and more in line with the PPS (Provincial Policy Statement) which

Completion of Land Assembly XXXX

encourages intensification. After significant analysis and market research we determined that project feasibility can also be increased with a mid-rise building; In addition, the low-rise market has cooled off over the past year however, condo apartments have not.

HIRING OF CONSULTANTS

First Submission APRIL 2019

Most consultant have already been retained. In the summer of 2018 we have retained Kirkor Architects, a renowned architectural firm which has an outstanding track record and has had a lot of activity in the City of Toronto and especially around Bayview Village.

Public Consultation Meeting SUMMBER 2019

CHANGES TO SIZE OF UNITS The initial midrise building was designed with 42 units and 1 level of underground parking. This building had really large units (average of 1,200 Sq. Ft.) After a detailed marketing review concerns were identified about the successful sales and marketing of such large units. The concerns were related to a

Second Submission ANTICIPATED BY SUMMER 2019

high sales price and a low sales absorption rate which could result in difficulties obtaining construction financing. As a result, the building was re-designed with smaller suites resulting in a total of 53 units. This also resulted in the addition of a 2nd level of underground parking which increased construction cost. However, given that underground parking sells for 45,000 per space we will be able to cover the additional cost of construction and the overall project feasibility is increased with this latest revision.

Rezoning Approval ANTICIPATED BY FALL 2019

PRE-CONSULTATION MEETING The first pre-consultation meeting which occurred in March of 2018 presented the old proposal of 9 townhomes. As such, a second pre-consultation for the mid-rise building took place in August of 2018. City staff were quite receptive to the mid-rise building. They provided a number of comments which our architect has already addressed in the latest revision.

COMPLETED REPORTS As of December 2018, the following reports/plans have been completed:

- Phase I Environmental Site Assessment - Phase II Environmental Site Assessment - Geotechnical Investigation and Chemical Analysis of Soil (Revised) - Hydrogeological Investigation (revision under way) - Market Research Study - Feasibility Study - Topographic Survey - Architectural package - Site Grading and Site Servicing Design

FIRST SUBMISSION AND OTHER PLANNING MATTERS We anticipate the first submission for ZBA and OPA to take place by the end of February 2019 and hope to receive comments within a couple of months. We hope to be scheduled for a Public meeting in summer or fall of 2019 and make a 2nd submission shortly thereafter. We will work diligently to obtain Rezoning and Site Plan Approval as quickly as possible.
