Get My Free Estimate →An Official Plan Amendment application has been filed for 1233–1255 The Queensway, the Kipling-Queensway Mall site, proposing what press reporting describes as 13 to 15 towers of 12 to 65 storeys and 7,360 residential units. The applicant is Figtree Holdings, with Weston Consulting as planner and Studio JCI as architect.
Here is what matters, and what almost every article about this project leaves out: the City’s own notice does not contain those numbers. It describes six mixed-use blocks, about 500,000 square metres of floor area, two park blocks and two new streets — and the City’s dataset expressly notes that density and heights are not included in this amendment.
What the City actually published
The City of Toronto notice, dated 1 August 2025 under file 25 183005 WET 03 OZ, describes an Official Plan Amendment application to permit:
- Six mixed-use development blocks
- Approximately 500,000 square metres of gross floor area
- Two park blocks
- Two new streets
Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Decision body: Etobicoke York Community Council. The City dataset records the application as Council Approved, though I was not able to date that decision from an agenda item.
What the press reported
| Detail | Reported |
|---|---|
| Applicant | Figtree Holdings Limited, with Weston Consulting |
| Architect | Studio JCI |
| Towers | 13 per UrbanToronto; 15 per Storeys and the applicant’s own submission as quoted elsewhere |
| Heights | 12 to 65 storeys, roughly 49.6 m to 210.1 m |
| Units | 7,360 — both outlets agree on this |
| Other elements | An elementary school and roughly 2.5 acres of parkland, on a site of 18 or more acres |
An Official Plan Amendment that expressly does not set density or height is a land use change. It redesignates the land, adds site-specific policies and lays out planned roads. The tower count, the storey heights and the 7,360 units come from the applicant’s submitted concept, reported by the press. They are the developer’s intention, not an approved entitlement.
This distinction is not pedantry. It is the difference between “7,360 homes are coming” and “an owner has asked for the land-use framework that would eventually let them apply for something around that size”. Only one of those is true today.
Scale, for context
7,360 units is a very large number. For a sense of proportion: the fourteen completed condominium buildings on the entire Queensway hold roughly 2,090 homes between them. This one site is proposed at more than three times the street’s existing condominium stock.
It is also almost twice the size of the approved 4,077-unit masterplan at 1025, which is itself the largest approval on the corridor.
The corner it sits on
Kipling and The Queensway is the western anchor of the corridor, and it is genuinely well served: Kipling Station is the interchange where TTC Line 2, MiWay and GO Transit meet, and Metrolinx completed the Kipling Transit Hub in 2022. Sherway Gardens, IKEA at 1475 The Queensway and the big-box retail at North Queen Street are all within a short distance.
If there is a place on this street where density of this order makes planning sense, it is here rather than in the middle of a mid-rise stretch. That is an argument the applicant will be making, and it is not a bad one.
My read
Watch this one, but do not price it. A land-use amendment with no density or height attached is early. Even on an optimistic path, a site of this scale is a fifteen-to-twenty-year build in phases. If you are buying a condo nearby today on the theory that 7,360 new neighbours will lift your value, you are betting on something that is not yet entitled and has not been costed publicly.
What I would actually take from it: the western end of The Queensway is where the City is prepared to contemplate real height. That is useful information whether or not this specific application ever produces a building.

This end of the corridor is changing fastest and is the hardest to read. Send me the address you are looking at and I will tell you what is approved nearby, what is only proposed, and how I would weigh it in an offer. Straight answer, no pitch.

What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Frequently asked questions
What is proposed for the Kipling-Queensway Mall site?
An Official Plan Amendment application for 1233-1255 The Queensway by Figtree Holdings. The City notice of 1 August 2025 describes six mixed-use blocks, about 500,000 square metres of gross floor area, two park blocks and two new streets. Press reporting describes the applicant’s concept as 13 to 15 towers of 12 to 65 storeys and 7,360 residential units.
Is the 7,360-unit figure for 1255 The Queensway approved?
No. The City’s own record notes that density and heights are not included in this Official Plan Amendment. The 7,360 units and the tower heights come from the applicant’s submitted concept as reported in the press, not from an approved entitlement.
How many towers are proposed at 1255 The Queensway?
Sources disagree. UrbanToronto reported 13 towers; Storeys and other coverage of the applicant’s submission reported 15. Both agree on 7,360 units and a maximum of 65 storeys.
When would the Kipling-Queensway Mall redevelopment be built?
No timeline has been published. The application is at the Official Plan Amendment stage, which precedes zoning, site plan and building permits. Sites of this scale in Toronto are typically built in phases over fifteen to twenty years.
What transit serves the Kipling and Queensway area?
Kipling Station on TTC Line 2, which Metrolinx describes as a hub connecting the TTC, GO Transit on the Milton line, and MiWay, with the Kipling Transit Hub completed in 2022. The corridor itself is served by the 80 Queensway bus, along with routes 44, 123 and others on the cross-streets.
