1396 Guelph Line: the City's records describe the approved apartment building two ways, 11 storeys and 236 units or 12 storeys and 287
The City's project page describes an 11-storey, 236-unit building at 1396 Guelph Line, while its Official Plan register, for amendment No. 168, describes 12 storeys and 287 units. Both list the proposal as approved, and neither explains the gap.
The details
Two pages, two buildings
The City of Burlington keeps two public records of the apartment proposal at 1396 Guelph Line, in Ward 3, by Infinity Development Group. Both describe a residential apartment building and both show the proposal as approved. They give different dimensions.
- 11-storey residential apartment building, 236 dwelling units, density of 566 units per hectare, floor area ratio 4.02:1; 236 parking spaces, 8 at grade and 228 in a 3-level underground garage; status "Approved"
- 12-storey residential mixed-use building plus a mezzanine level and mechanical penthouse, 287 residential units, 5,503 square metres of amenity area, 3 levels of underground parking, maximum floor area ratio of 5.83:1; status "Approved – In Principle"
- Official Plan Amendment 505-03/22; Zoning By-law Amendment 520-04/22
- Pre-application community meeting March 23, 2022; statutory public meeting September 13, 2022, 6:30 p.m.; "None scheduled at this time"
What each page tells you
The project page was last posted on September 10, 2026. It describes an 11-storey building. It lists the applications as approved but does not give a decision date, a by-law number or any mention of the Ontario Land Tribunal.
The Official Plan amendments register lists the amendment as No. 168 and links an Ontario Land Tribunal case file for it. Its description is of a larger building. The City's pages do not say why the register's figures differ from the project page's, whether the building changed during the approval process, or which description is the one now approved.
How to check before you quote a number
- Ask Community Planning at 905-335-7777 or city@burlington.ca which unit count, storeys and floor area ratio are the approved ones, quoting the file numbers 505-03/22 and 520-04/22 and amendment No. 168.
- Open the Official Plan amendments register on burlington.ca and follow the "OLT Case" link beside amendment No. 168 for the Tribunal's own record of the case.
- Subscribe to updates through subscribe.burlington.ca, which the project page links, so you see any change the City makes to either record.
