The development concept for this site, presented to the community in the spring of 2021, includes a 26-storey building with 266 dwelling units, community use space on the ground floor, and a wider, single mid-block connection through the site with generous landscaping for pedestrians.

The site will have frontage on both Sherbourne and Bleecker Streets. On Sherbourne Street, the design proposal includes a community use space and on Bleecker Street, the development proposal includes townhouse units to complement the scale and character of the Victorian houses on the west side of the street. The development will be leased to a non-profit housing provider.

The proposal for this site, which is located within the Cabbagetown Northwest Heritage Conservation District (HCD), is consistent with the policy directions of the Downtown Plan and Tall Building Design Guidelines and will be designed to complement the adjacent buildings, all while minimizing any new net shadows on the nearby Winchester Park.

The Zoning By-law amendment application was approved in 2021.
