Brandy Lane Homes, the City of Toronto and Hydro One are working together to revitalize Robertson Davies Park after Hydro One crews recently cut down 29 Norway Maple trees in the park without prior consultation or permission.

Brandy Lane Homes, a GTA-based developer, is in the midst of developing The Davies Condominiums, a nine-storey, 41-unit building north of Robertson Davies Park on Avenue Road at Cottingham Street.

“I have had positive conversational with Ward 22 Councillor Josh Matlow and together with the City of Toronto and through community meetings and discussions, we are formulating a plan of revitalizing the park in the wake of this most disappointing development,” said David Hirsh, president of Brandy Lane Homes, in a press release.

The developer is working hard to assist in fixing the error made by Hydro One crews. They have retained award-winning landscape design firm NAK Design Strategies to enhance the look of the north side of the park, and they expect to work with the City of Toronto and Hydro One to ensure the south side of the park is aligned with the design firm’s vision of the north side.

“We will work with the city and area residents to achieve the best possible solution going forward for Robertson Davies Park, so it continues to be an important neighbourhood amenity,” added Hirsh.
