This building was made possible by the Avenues Policy that Toronto passed in Feb 2025. Although this section of King was technically still low-rise Neighbourhood because of delays in policy implementation, it was identified as a new Avenue for mid-rise development.

The proposed development is located along King Street West which is identified in the
Official Plan as an Avenue, where growth and intensification should be directed. The
proposed development also introduces at grade retail to activate the ground floor and facilitate sustainable and complete communities through streetscape improvements and
a private open space that will be publicly accessible to the public.
The proposal supports a balance of diverse residential, commercial and institutional
uses consistent with the Mixed Use Areas designation. The temple replaces the existing
temple that is currently on site, which is strongly supported by the Tibetan community.
The application further proposes a new private daycare, which meets an identified need
in the community. The proposed units, including the rental replacement units, support a
range and mix of housing that is consistent with the Official Plan and the Growing Up
Guidelines. The proposed land use is appropriate.
