Urban Strategies has been retained by DCMS Realty Developments Inc. (DCMS Realty) to act as planning and urban design consultants for the submission of a planning application to redevelop 3411 and 3429 Bloor Street West in the Etobicoke Centre. DCMS Realty plans to redevelop this site as a seniors retirement residence operated by Verve Seniors Living. The retirement home will provide a continuum of care for residents, including memory care, assisted living, and independent living suites to suit the various needs of the residents. The proposed development includes a Beer Store at grade. DCMS Realty appealed the OPA/ZBA to the LPAT, and Urban Strategies provided professional planning and urban design evidence at the LPAT in September 2019. In May 2019, the LPAT approved the applications.
