A proposal bringing more people to transit in Flemingdon Park
A proposal bringing more people to transit in Flemingdon Park
Future transit access in Flemingdon Park will be transformative for the area. As a result, the neighbourhood is targeted for more people and jobs. The project team for the St. Dennis & Grenoble proposal sees an opportunity to utilize the vacant lands at 7 St. Dennis Drive & 10 Grenoble Drive to support growth and expand housing supply and options in the city.
The site is located within the Flemingdon Park Major Transit Station Area (MTSA). MTSAs are the areas generally within 500 to 800 metres radius of a transit station, which is about a 10-minute walk. Each MTSA will be subject to a density target, which will be determined when the draft MTSAs are finalized by City Council.
The owners of the property are exploring an opportunity to build more housing on underutilized land at 7 St. Dennis Drive & 10 Grenoble Drive.
Keeping the existing apartment buildings at 7 St. Dennis Drive & 10 Grenoble Drive
Introducing 4 new residential buildings
Providing new roads
Providing a new public park
Incorporating multiple pedestrian mid-block connections and pathways
All tenants of 7 St. Dennis & 10 Grenoble will be able to remain in their homes. The proposal is to provide infill development on some of the vacant land to the east of the existing buildings. The owners and development manager for St. Dennis & Grenoble are committed to supporting tenants of the existing buildings throughout the process. We encourage any tenant to reach out if they have questions or would like to provide feedback.
This timeline shows the key application and community engagement milestones leading up to the approval of our Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application at Toronto City Council.

The application to the City of Toronto for the infill development included a number of reports, studies, and plans. We will continue to add updated materials, City Staff reports, and community presentations as they become available.

No. The existing buildings at 7 St. Dennis and 10 Grenoble will not be torn down as part of this proposed development.
The existing residents will not have to move, and the rent will not increase because of this development (increases allowed by the Residential Tenancies Act will still apply).
Existing and new residents will be able to enjoy new programmed outdoor spaces, which include a new public park and dog relief area.
There will also be additional walkways throughout the entire site to make it easier for people to walk both within and around the site and connect to the nearby streets.
We will prepare a Construction Management Plan that will address how we will mitigate the impacts of construction including dust, noise, access; and how construction updates will be communicated.
On October 9, 2024, the Decision Report recommending approval of our Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law Amendment applications was adopted at Toronto City Council. Additional planning steps are required through the Site Plan Approvals process before any construction can begin.
There are still steps to complete before construction could begin, including advancing through the Site Plan Approval application process. This process can take several months to over a year to complete; however, there is no exact timing estimate at this time for the start of construction and how long it will take to complete the project.
