Fairway Developments Proposes 19-Storey Condo Near Keele Station, Bloor GO

Fairway Developments has filed a formal application with the City of Toronto seeking approval to build a 19-storey mixed-use condominium at 1728 Bloor Street West, right at the northeast corner of Bloor and Indian Grove, just steps from Keele Station on Subway Line 2 and the Bloor GO station. The proposal replaces a one-storey Tim Hortons and its surface parking lot—land that is currently under-used given its prime transit location.

In total the project would include 99 residential units served by the renowned Gabriel Fain Architects, known for their tasteful brick façades and retro-inspired aesthetic with large retail windows at ground level. The building is expected to reach approximately 67.6 metres (222 feet), making it one of the taller structures in the High Park North area, where surrounding plans include towers of 18 and 27 storeys on nearby sites.

Development proposals first surfaced in early 2023 when Fairway initially submitted applications for zoning and site plan approval. That later led to an appeal and a negotiated settlement with city council in mid-2024, resulting in modest changes—including a slight height reduction and the introduction of a rooftop amenity deck—while keeping the overall storey count at 19.

Retail space occupies the ground level with nearly 934 square feet at grade along Bloor Street, alongside the residential lobby entrance. Above that, level two offers around 3,310 square feet of both indoor and outdoor amenity space—a large 2,712 square foot indoor area potentially for a gym or common room, plus a roughly 721 square foot outdoor patio intended for dining or children’s play.

Residential floors will house eight studios, 63 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms, and eight three-bedrooms, all supported by underground parking and storage. The parking includes a car-stacking system holding 14 vehicles, along with roughly 100 to 120 bicycle spaces for both short-term and residential use.

If approved, this development would bring much-needed housing and commercial space to a transit-rich corner of the city. With excellent connectivity via both Keele subway and Bloor GO, proximity to High Park and neighbourhood shops, and timely amenities, the project could help deliver modern city living in an under-built stretch of West Toronto.
