Toronto waterfront residents say proposed 49 -storey condo will be a sore thumb’ in the downtown neighbourhood.

A petition to oppose the development as it currently stands has garnered close to 1,300 signatures so far.

Residents say the shadow cast by the tower will block out light for several lower buildings in the area.

The tower could be the tallest in the neighbourhood so far, it will also require a zoning bylaw amendment.

Arkfield says they don’t expect the potential use for short term rentals to be any different from other buildings in the city.

The city says they understand residents’ concerns and the proposal will not be approved as is.
