The Church-Wellesley corridor is seeing a significant shift in development strategy as Capital Developments pivots its vision for 88 Isabella Street. Originally approved as a 62-storey condominium tower, the project has been resubmitted as a 50-storey purpose-built rental building. Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects, the revised plan reflects the evolving realities of the GTA housing market, trading 751 condo units for 508 rental suites.
While the building’s height has been reduced from 199.22m to 166.99m, the development remains a major intensification piece for the neighbourhood. The project will include 82 rental replacement units alongside 426 market-rate rentals. As developers across Toronto recalibrate, this project highlights a broader trend toward rental-focused high-rise construction.
