Just two weeks after proposing a 62-storey tower at 88 Isabella, Capital Developments has submitted a separate development application for a 69-storey tower next door, at 90 to 94 Isabella.
The new tower would include 837 condominium units. The front and some of the side facades of the heritage homes fronting Isabella would be preserved, with the tower rising behind. Details about the proposal can be found at the City's Development Application Information Centre (Supporting Documentation tab). A response from the City will be forthcoming, after which a public consultation will be scheduled. You can add your contact information in order to be notified of the public consultation on on the Development Application Information Centre page (Public Consultation tab). Capital Developments has submitted a proposal to demolish the 14-storey apartment building at 88 Isabella Street and replace it with a 62-storey condominium tower.
The site is one building east of Church Street, adjacent to Al Sparrow Lane. The existing apartment building has 82 units. The new tower would include 751 residential units, 82 of which would be rental replacement units from the existing building. Details about the proposal can be found at the City's Development Application Information Centre (Supporting Documentation tab). A response from the City will be forthcoming, after which a public consultation will be scheduled.

Capital Developments is also proposing a tower next door at 90 Isabella. The naming ceremony for Travellers’ Way, the TTC walkway on the east side of the Wellesley subway station, took place on April 24. This was be 11th lane naming undertaken by the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association, an ongoing project of the CWNA’s Placemaking Committee to create meaning in our public spaces.
"Travellers' Way" reflects the importance of the heritage building at 17 Dundonald Street that stood on the east side of the walkway. The new condominium at 17 Dundonald displays etched plaques outlining the history of the original building at the site, once home to the Commercial Travellers’ Association of Canada. The name also speaks to the many travellers who daily use the walkway as a connection to the our public transit system and our green spaces. This lane naming was done in partnership with the Toronto Transit Commission, which owns the walkway. Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam led the unveiling, one of her last official acts in the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood as Ward 13 City Councillor.
