Several development proposals on Broadview Ave in proximity to the Toronto Estonian House are winding their way through the City Planning Department. Some of these are coming to conclusion. The decisions indicate the possible outcome for Revera regarding their proposed 18 storey development at the Estonian House location. The allowable amount of square footage is tied to the selling price of the existing Estonian House and directly affects the funding for the planned International Estonian Centre on Madison Ave.
796-802 Broadview Ave
On July 4, 2017, City Council adopted a final report. The recommendation to amend the zoning by-law to permit the 6 storey mixed use building was adopted; however, staff recommended that before the Bills were enacted that the owner provide a revised sewer analysis report, site servicing and stormwater management report and hydrogeology report to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services. All of these reports have been submitted and are satisfactory allowing the issuance of the Notice of Approval.
995 Broadview Ave
Application for the former Whistler's site at 995 Broadview Ave to build a 10 storey building with 111 condos was turned down by City Council and the developer then appealed. A hearing was set for September. Ahead of the appeal, the developer revised the proposal for a 7 storey building with 51 condos.
Due to the timing of the original appeal this site is not covered by the Broadview Avenue Planning Study.
Based on a recommendation from City Legal and City Planning, City Council approved the revised application at the July Council meeting.

The real destructive forces in the community are those leaders of the 4 ORGS who are pushing through the International Estonian Centre project and dividing the community. The project budget is insufficient to cover even the basics let alone all the promises they have made.We, the next generation will never be able to cover the massive debt and cost overruns, and the place will have to be sold.
...the community spirit and volunteerism that built Eesti Maja could have been preserved?
The divisive and even destructive forces in our community would have less room to maneuver!
