426 new residential units planned to come up in Whitby

Two building projects have been brought forward to Whitby Council for re-zoning approval. The projects contain a total of 426 residential units combined.

Brock Street South: Another application was submitted for a a 6-storey mixed-use building with 303 residential units, 663 square metres of at-grade commercial and 370 underground parking spaces.

The land is located on the east side of Brock Street South, north of Gilbert Street East, west of Green Street. The subject land is approximately 0.52 hectares (1.28 acres) in size.

The area currently contains a commercial plaza which is proposed to be removed. The surrounding land uses include:

  • A single storey commercial building (Dollarama) immediately to the north with additional commercial and residential uses further north;
  • Commercial uses to the west;
  • Commercial and office uses to the south;
  • Residential dwellings to the east, including apartment buildings and single detached residential dwellings

The map of the lands to be developed is below.

Brock Street North

A proposal for 123 back-to-back stacked townhouse dwellings has been submitted for 3775 Brock Street North.

The land is located on the east side of Brock Street North, approximately 390 metres south of Taunton Road East. The property is approximately 1.14 hectares (2.81 acres) in size and currently vacant.

The buildings include three storeys of living area, with a fourth storey mechanical room and access to roof top terraces. As a result of consultation with the local community, the overall height has been adjusted and the roof top terraces have been removed.

Two vehicular accesses are proposed, one from Brock Street North, and one from Tincomb Crescent, which will be connected via a private internal road and will include resident parking and a component of visitor parking.

Previously, a single storey motel, known as the Woodycrest, occupied the site. The site was also temporarily used as a new car storage lot in recent years.

The area is surrounded on all sides by existing residential neighbourhoods comprised of a mix of townhouse units, semi-detached, and single detached dwellings. The land has frontage on Brock Street North and Tincomb Crescent.
