Adjacent to a rail corridor and located in employment lands, this innovative mixed-use project utilizes a contaminated site to reinvigorate a neighbourhood. Located on the edge of a public park, the project has been strategically designed to maximize its connection to the surrounding green space, which has been extended into the building’s interior courtyard. The residential component features 90 units, including a podium of large multi-level two and three bedroom townhouses. Four additional levels of one and two bedroom units have been added above the podium, overlooking the park below. The commercial component of the project features three levels of artist’s studios and gallery spaces. A two toned textural façade has been designed to play with the scale and proportion of the building, integrating it into the fabric of the neighbourhood.
