CentreCourt has filed combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications, along with a Site Plan application, for a 50-storey condominium tower at the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Cameron Avenue in North York’s Lansing-Westgate neighbourhood, according to UrbanToronto. Designed by Arcadis, 4656 Yonge Street would rise south of Sheppard-Yonge station, with access to both Yonge Line 1 and Sheppard Line 4.
Site Assembly and Application Status
The irregularly shaped development site encompasses 4632 through 4648 Yonge Street and 18 Cameron Avenue, along with portions of 16 Cameron Avenue and 4656 Yonge Street. A two-storey commercial plaza and two detached houses currently occupy the redevelopment lands, while an autobody shop on the northern portion of the larger property holding would remain. The site sits between the high-rise Yonge corridor and the low-rise residential streets of Lansing-Westgate, with condominium towers across Yonge to the east and detached houses immediately west, UrbanToronto reported.
Acquisitions of 4656 Yonge Street and 4636 Yonge Street date back to 2015 and 2017, respectively. By April, 2026, the larger property holding was being marketed through a court-appointed receiver process, with preliminary redevelopment scenarios envisioning a 45-storey tower above a four-storey podium. The current proposal concentrates on the southern portion of the holding.
Built Form and Residential Program
The proposed building would rise 50 storeys to 169.1 m above a seven-storey podium incorporating a five-storey street-facing base. The rectangular tower would have an 801 m² floor plate. Residents would have access to 950 m² of indoor and 757 m² of outdoor amenity area across floors 2, 5, and 7.
The development would contain 569 condominium units, comprising 50 studios, 366 one-bedrooms, 94 two-bedrooms, and 59 three-bedrooms. Its 40,200 m² of gross floor area would include 39,900 m² of residential space and 300 m² of ground-floor retail, with a floor space index of 21.17 times coverage of the 1,890 m² assembly. Retail entrances would be located on Yonge Street, while the residential lobby would open onto Cameron Avenue.
Vertical Transportation and Parking
Four elevators would serve the building, providing approximately one elevator for every 142 units, indicating high-speed motors would be required to minimize wait times, even when all elevators are operational. A three-level underground garage would provide 114 vehicle parking spaces, including 104 for residents, seven for visitors, and three for pick-up and drop-off activities. The proposal also includes 385 bicycle parking spaces, divided into 349 long-term and 36 short-term spaces.
Transit Context and Nearby Pipeline
The site is approximately 230 m south of the Poyntz Avenue entrance to Sheppard-Yonge station. Surface connections include TTC’s 97 Yonge and 320 Yonge Night buses, alongside nearby GO bus services. There are bicycle lanes on Sheppard Avenue approximately 800 m northeast and trails in Earl Bales Park about 2 km west. Planned transit improvements include the Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension to Richmond Hill, and Metrolinx is investigating potential Sheppard Line 4 extensions west to Sheppard West station and east to Scarborough Centre or Sheppard Avenue and Morningside Avenue.
The proposal joins high-rise developments south of and around Sheppard-Yonge station. To the east, 48 Avondale proposes three towers ranging from 26 to 45 storeys, while Avondale is proposed at 49 storeys. Northwards, proposals include 45 storeys at 4696 Yonge Street, 48 storeys at 11–21 Johnston Avenue, and 51 storeys at Poyntz Residences. Closer to the station, the 49-storey 4800 Yonge Street is under construction, while 45–47 Sheppard East proposes four towers ranging from 30 to 59 storeys.
Glazing and Envelope Implications
UrbanToronto’s report does not identify the exterior cladding or glazing system for 4656 Yonge Street. However, a 50-storey tower with a 169.1 m height and an 801 m² floor plate points to a substantial curtain wall or window wall package for suppliers and installers in the North York market. For glazing contractors and suppliers, the 569-unit program across 50 storeys indicates a substantial volume of window wall or curtain wall components, balcony glazing and entrance systems. The report does not itemize the façade scope, so specific products, performance grades or suppliers cannot be confirmed at this stage.
In Ontario, high-rise residential fenestration is subject to the Ontario Building Code and is often specified to CSA A440 or the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS). CSA A440 addresses air leakage, water penetration and structural performance for windows and doors, while NAFS harmonizes Canadian and U.S. requirements. ENERGY STAR Canada maintains separate performance criteria for windows and sliding glass doors, distinct from the U.S. program. None of those thresholds are stated in the UrbanToronto report for this tower, but they provide the regulatory backdrop for any future glazing specification. Products supplied for high-rise residential towers in Toronto must typically demonstrate compliance through testing or certification, although the application does not say which certification path will be used. For glazing contractors, the absence of a named façade system means the package remains open to competition as the project advances. The report also does not mention whether the tower will target a green building certification, which would influence glazing performance requirements.
The proposal is one of several high-rise projects clustering south of Sheppard-Yonge, a node served by two subway lines. That concentration of residential density typically creates demand for high-performance glazing to meet acoustic, thermal and structural requirements, although the report does not outline those performance targets. As the project moves through planning review, façade details may become clearer.
UrbanToronto also lists Arcadis, Bousfields and Gradient Wind Engineers & Scientists among the related companies. Full project details are available in UrbanToronto’s database file, and the publication said it will continue to follow progress on the development.
