Resident and Cranston Capital, through the 705 Kingston Road Ltd., have filed a development application with the suburban Toronto city.

The project, planned for the southeast corner of Kingston Road and Whites Road at the Whites Road Shopping Centre, would be built in two phases, according to the report. If all goes according to plan, the project will include the five residential towers ranging from from 28 to 35 storeys. The proposed development would comprise a total of 1,748 residential units, approximately 42,216 square feet of non-residential space, and a 0.2-hectare public park.
