Click on the name of any of the projects below to read more about what makes the development distinctive and hear from the team involved.
The Lake House: Monde
Great Gulf’s Monde is surrounded by nature: it’s rising next to lush public plaza Sherbourne Commons and looks out onto Lake Ontario. So it’s no surprise that the project delivers great outdoor spaces – for both residents and the public.
The Jagged Gem: RC3
The latest chapter in Urban Capital’s River City development carries on the angular, geode-esque style of phases one and two. The biggest distinction here: the building’s height.
The Parental Pad: The Eglinton
Break out the baby rattles. Young uptown families moving into Menke‘s fritted-glass tower are sure to appreciate its amenities, which include an indoor play space for tots plus a well-stocked party room for the grown-ups.
The Good Neighbour: Form
Located down the street from Gehry’s AGO and Alsop’s OCAD U, Tridel’s Form doesn’t try to steal the spotlight from its eccentric neighbours. That said, the sophisticated 14-storey tower still has its artistic touches.
The Handsome Denizen: Hill and Dale
Old Stonehenge and Clifton Blake Group’s Hill and Dale is a true mixed-use development, combining shopping, living and office space in a sharp six-storey that suits the scale of the community.
