Rize Alliance has submitted their development application for The Grid, a 10-storey office and light industrial project located on the South side of Terminal Avenue (306 Terminal), currently a Tim Hortons.

Details include:

• Ground floor brewery/distillery/ancillary restaurant space;
• 29,000 SF of industrial/manufacturing space;
• 118,000 SF of office space;
• 3 levels of underground parking w/192 stalls;
• a building height of 48 ft.; and
• a total density of 5.0 FSR.

Under the site’s existing I-3 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

A description of the project is provided in the application: “The project seeks to provide flexible floor plates that are suitable for all approved uses in the I-3 Zoning District Schedule. This is accomplished by providing open floor plans with generous floor-to-floor heights and robust electrical and mechanical infrastructure. Each suite is organized around a compact central core allowing for daylight penetration deep into the floorplate. Access to daylight, fresh air and views are provided through double height exterior communal spaces on the upper levels 3-10. The central core will connect tenants to a robust loading facility located on the ground floor level complete with a shared freight elevator servicing the industrial areas, and as well to an enhanced end of trip facility for commuters located on L2. The main level exterior plaza will provide opportunity for a communal social space for the occupants of the building, while also encouraging pedestrian flow from Terminal Avenue South into the Creative hub. “

The architect for the project is OMB.

Rize acquired the site in 2017 for $15,500,000, or $106 per buildable SF.
