The Site
1196 to 1210 Yonge Street and 2 to 8 Birch Avenue is situated on the northwest corner of Yonge and Birch in Toronto’s Summerhill neighbourhood. A 2 minute walk from the Summerhill subway station, the site currently consists of a series of two to four storey mixed-use buildings.
Proposal
Given its distinctive location along Yonge and its proximity to rapid transit, we envision the transformation of this site into a new artfully designed residence that brings new retail and housing options to the neighbourhood.
