641-Unit, 37-Storey Tower Proposed at 3252 Sheppard East

Orion Real Estate Group has proposed a 37-storey mixed-use condominium tower at 3252 Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough's Bridlewood area, replacing a Red Lobster restaurant and surface parking. Arcadis is the architect; MHBC Planning filed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications on Orion's behalf.

The tallest proposal in Bridlewood, the project pairs a 122.7-metre tower with a connected 10-storey, 38.3-metre component. The site sits roughly 260 metres west of Warden Avenue and 490 metres east of Pharmacy Avenue.

The 641 suites break down as 4 studios, 428 one-bedrooms, 141 two-bedrooms, and 68 three-bedrooms. Gross floor area totals 43,836 square metres: 43,480 residential and 356 retail, an FSI of 6.91 on the 6,989-square-metre lot. Amenities include a rooftop terrace, 1,285 square metres indoors, 1,287 square metres outdoors, private patios for grade-related units, and a publicly accessible northern walkway.

Three underground garage levels hold 362 spaces: 328 resident, 34 visitor, with EV supply equipment at every resident space. Bicycle parking totals 490 spaces, split 440 long-term and 50 short-term.
