The Atrium on Bay Commercial Space is looking to add 5 addition floors of commercial space, both office and retail to their existing structure which includes a mall on the lower levels and two towers on opposite sides of the building. The building also has PATH connections to the bus terminal and the Eaton Centre as well as subway .Here is the application in detail:
The applicant is proposing five-storey additions to each of the office towers at the Atrium
on Bay. The mechanical penthouses for the project are proposed to be wrapped by
commercial office space. The proposed tower heights are 19 storeys (75.65 metres,
Yonge Street Side) and 18 Storeys (78.95 metres, Bay Street Side). The total gross floor
area proposed for the development is 132,816 square metres, which is an increase of
26,360 square metres from the existing gross floor area.
The applicant is proposing an addition on the Bay Street frontage which will bring the
Atrium on Bay out to the lot line, removing the split stair cases that currently exist on that
frontage. A 5.5 metre sidewalk will be maintained and improved, while the plaza at
Dundas Street West and Bay Street will also be retained.
The reclaimed GFA for the area will be used for a better PATH connection and expanded retail space. Two new elevator cores are proposed for the building and the existing escalators and decorative pools are
proposed to be relocated. Car parking and bicycle parking are not proposed to be
changed as part of this application.
As part of the application, a number of cosmetic improvements to the architectural
cladding system will be applied. Significant streetscape improvements are proposed for
all frontages and in particular Edward Street. As part of the application, the exterior TTC
staircase will be removed at Dundas Street West and Yonge Street and will be
internalized in the Atrium on Bay.
