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.<\/p>\n

While the building\u2019s 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.
