Toronto-based Altree Developments is upping the ante, when again, on its plans to bring brand-new real estate, height, and density to Toronto’s Weston Town. The firm submitted a proposal to the City in mid-April for a 43-storey “east” tower at 1693-1709 Weston Road and 6-10 Victoria Avenue East, which would mirror a 43-storey “west” tower, approved for the site in July 2025.
“Because the 2025 Approval, the owners have obtained the properties at 6 and 8 Victoria Opportunity East so that the assembly now includes all lands in between Weston Road and the rail passage, on the north side of Victoria Avenue East, extending north to the Metrolinx residential or commercial property and parking area,” states the preparation letter that went to the City on behalf of Altree last month.
The letter also highlights the chance to present 996 brand-new residential units to the area in between the two towers, where future homeowners would be under a ten-minute walk from Weston Station, servicing both the GO and UP Express.

Graziani+Corazza Architects show the east and west towers with six-storey bases in brick veneer and glassy tower components above. The towers look identical at first blush, however, the planning report explains a laundry list of small variations. For instance, both buildings are shown with trapezoid-shaped tower elements, however, the southeast corner of the east building juts out more towards the angled home line. In addition, the east portion of the west structure has a two-storey podium component.< img src ="// www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201518%20960'%3E%3C/svg%3E"width="1518"height="960" alt=""/ > Graziani+Corazza Architects Altree’s agenda for the Weston Village site has actually remained in flux given that December 2017, when the company submitted plans for a 25-storey mixed-use building at 1709 Weston Road. In July 2020, the strategies were modified to include 1693 Weston Road, and in June 2021, City board authorized a 24-storey structure with 254 domestic units and a retail component at grade. Altree increased the height of the proposal to 43 storeys in an August 2024 proposition. On the other hand, a multitude of approvals in Weston
Village since 2021 bodes well for a 3rd City board approval for Altree. A few of the advancements concerning the area include a 39-storey residential building at 16 Wilby Crescent– also from Altree– a 42-storey building at 13-21 John Street and 40 South Station Street from Devron Advancement and a 45-storey mixed-use building at 1828-1844 Weston Road from Castlepoint Numa.
