Introducing 4340 Bloor West, a proposed mixed-use rental building designed by architectural firm gh3 and developed by Hazelview Investments, coming soon to the growing community of Etobicoke’s Markland Wood neighbourhood.

4340 Bloor West Features

The new 4340 Bloor West development is a two-building project situated on a 10,060 m² site in Etobicoke’s Markland Wood neighbourhood. The project, proposed by Hazelview Investments Inc and designed by gh3, aims to maximize the site’s potential by adding a 16-storey tower on the west frontage and a four-storey building on the east-frontage.

The west building, with a ground floor area of approximately 17,435 m², will be a C-shaped structure rising 56.5 m high. The building will have two six-storey base elements extending from the north and south, creating an internal courtyard and walk-up entrances for residential units at grade. It will comprise of 243 units, including studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and three-bedrooms.

The east building, with a ground floor area of approximately 4,588 m², will be a four-storey structure designed to transition downward in height from the proposed 16-storey west building and the existing 15-storey central building. The building’s footprint curves around on the north and south corners to create two small wings that face back into the site. It will contain 65 units, with walk-up units on the lower floors intended to create an animated and neighbourhood-friendly streetscape at grade.

Both buildings will be composed of a combination of grey stucco panel, dark perforated metal, and glass panel. The development will provide a total of 308 units, with a variety of sizes ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. In total, the project will span a ground floor area of approximately 22,000 m².

Indoor and outdoor amenity spaces are provided across both buildings at grade and on the seventh floor of the proposed west building, totaling 1,448 m². A full landscape plan has been prepared by MEP Design Landscape Architects, designed to complement the relationship between the site’s open space and its build form.

A two-level underground garage containing spaces for 418 cars and 210 bicycles will be part of the development. 86 of the parking spaces will be allocated for residents in the existing building who are currently served by a surface parking lot on the area of the future west building.
