Located at the corner of Broadway and Ontario Streets, the proposed 20-storey tower features market rental housing, ground-floor retail, and a childcare facility with indoor and outdoor areas. The design echoes the urban materiality of Mount Pleasant, with the building’s massing reflecting the neighborhood’s scale and respecting the community’s vision and urban design guidelines. It emphasizes activation at grade, creating engaging spaces that invite community interaction and enhance the public realm.
The building massing is divided into three distinct volumes, each using different materials to reflect the neighborhood’s scale and character. Volume two, the main public realm massing, uses buff brick to enhance Mount Pleasant’s legacy character, inspired by landmarks like Heritage Hall. Volume one employs vertical glazing to emphasize verticality and maximize views, while volume three uses grey composite metal to echo the area’s light industrial character.
