LONDON — Strik, Baldinelli, Moniz, Ltd., retained by W3 Lambeth Farms Inc., presents plans for a transformative mixed-use development at 6555 & 6595 Royal Magnolia Avenue, a currently vacant site.
The proposal, backed by an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment, aims to introduce two six-storey mixed-use buildings featuring 176 dwelling units and 200 square metres of commercial space.
The site is within the Neighbourhoods Place Types and the Southwest Area Plan (Lambeth Area).
The vacant rectangular plot will be revitalized with Tower A and Tower B, each comprising 88 apartment units of one and two bedrooms, spanning 11,060 square metres (1.1 hectares).
Ground-floor commercial/retail spaces totalling 100 square metres will be integrated within each building, accessible both from Royal Magnolia Avenue and within the buildings.
Access to the apartments will be facilitated via entrances on Heathwoods Avenue and Royal Magnolia Avenue, along with separate at-grade entrances for ground-floor units.
The development will feature 274 vehicle parking spaces, with 224 in an underground garage.
Of the 274 spaces, eight are proposed to be barrier-free (four above and four underground), and an additional 50 surface spaces are proposed at the back of the site.
Furthermore, 229 bicycle parking spaces will be provided, catering to both residential and commercial needs.
Both the parking space and bicycle space ratios align with the city’s requirements for the site.
Communal amenities and green spaces, including outdoor courtyards and landscaped areas, will be incorporated to enhance residents’ recreational experiences.
The Subject Lands, currently zoned R8-4(51)/CC6(12)/NF1(17), require rezoning to a Residential R9-7(XXX) Zone to accommodate the proposed development, along with special provisions.
Special provisions include permitting a Gross Floor Area of 200 square metres for non-residential commercial space, a maximum building height of six storeys (as opposed to the current four), and a density of 162 units per hectare (compared to the current allowance of 75 units per hectare).
Additionally, a requested Official Plan Amendment would permit buildings with a maximum height of six storeys instead of the current four-storey height permission, aligning with the proposed development’s vision.
In line with the London Plan’s vision, this development promises to enrich the Lambeth Area while providing much-needed housing options and commercial opportunities.
