59-story tower tops list of concerns raised over condo development

Tower heights soaring to 59 storeys and increased traffic volume from nearly 2,000 vehicles are among a long list of red flags raised over a proposed highrise development slated for Royal Orchard Boulevard in Thornhill.

Greencapital Limited Partnership is seeking to rezone a roughly four-acre site on the north side of Royal Orchard Boulevard between Yonge Street and Inverlochy Boulevard to build four residential towers pegged at 25, 31, 39 and 59 storeys. Two four-storey podium buildings housing retail, service and office spaces are also part of the plan.

Conceptual floor plans submitted with the application also propose an integrated future subway entrance in the event that the Yonge North Subway Extension approves a Royal Orchard Station.
