The proposed high-density condominium project at 3056 Neyagawa Boulevard, Oakville includes the following key details:

 

Project Scale & Density

​

• Total residential units: 2,278 units

• Number of buildings: 7 towers

• Building heights: 16 to 28 stories

• Site area: 3.75 hectares (37,500 m²)

• Floor Space Index (FSI): Estimated at 5.5, far exceeding the area’s maximum limit of 2.0

• Proposed density: 607 units per hectare, significantly higher than downtown Toronto or even some high-density areas in Manhattan and Hong Kong.

​

Parking & Traffic Issues

​

• Total parking spaces: 2,798 spaces

  • Underground parking: 2,798 spaces

  • Surface parking: No clear allocation in the site plan

• Parking ratio: 1.22 spaces per unit, which may be insufficient given Oakville’s suburban car dependency

• Traffic impact: The project is expected to introduce thousands of new daily vehicle trips, further straining the already congested Neyagawa Blvd & Dundas St W intersection.

​

Major Concerns & Violations of Planning Regulations

​

1. Exceeds Height & Density Limits

   • Local zoning regulations allow a maximum height of 8 stories, with an exception up to 12 stories under special conditions.

   • This project proposes multiple towers between 16 and 28 stories, which is more than triple the standard limit.

   • The FSI is projected at 5.5, far above the maximum allowed 2.0 in the North Oakville East Secondary Plan.

2. Severe Infrastructure & Public Services Burden

   • Schools, healthcare, emergency services, and public utilities in North Oakville are already stretched thin.

   • This development would add over 7,000 new residents without a proportional increase in public facilities.

3. Lack of Adequate Parking & Traffic Mitigation

   • All parking is underground, which raises feasibility concerns given the high number of spaces required.

   • No clearly defined surface parking for visitors or retail spaces in the plan.

   • Increased vehicle congestion in an already traffic-heavy area with limited road expansion options.

4. Setting a Dangerous Precedent

   • If approved, this project will set a precedent for unchecked high-density development in Oakville, leading to a dramatic change in the town’s urban landscape.

   • Oakville could become a high-rise-dominated city, contrary to its carefully planned suburban character.
