Commercial Property Spotlight: Quayside
1 min read
A new 12-acre mixed-use project is underway along Toronto’s waterfront. Quayside is a condominium development by Dream Unlimited Corp and Great Gulf.
Throughout five phases, Quayside will comprise five high-rise towers, a mass-timber mid-rise ranging from 12 to 68 storeys high, 3.5 acres of public space, 2-acre community forests, a large rooftop communal garden, retail and office space.
The lead architects for Quayside include Adjaye Associates, Alison Brooks, and Henning Larsen. These architecture companies have the challenge and opportunity to work together in designing buildings, all while making them look different but keeping continuity. SLA landscape architects will be responsible for the design of the community forest.
In total, the development is planned to bring over 800 affordable housing units and over 3,000 market-rate units, with more than half offering two bedrooms or more. During phase one, the tallest tower, The Western Curve, alongside The Overstory, The Timber House and a 2-acre community forest, retail and community space are planned to start construction.
The Wester Curve at 259 Lake Shore Blvd E. will be 68 storeys tall with 910 condo units. This eye-catching mixed-use condominium tower will also feature over 9,000 square meters of institutional space dedicated to George Brown College’s Waterfront Campus.
The Overstory, located next to The Western Curve, will be a 61-storey high-rise mixed-use condominium with 756 units. The building will also become home to over 9,000 indoor and 2,000 outdoor amenities.
The Timber House is next to The Wester Curve, The Overstory, and two future-planned high-rise buildings. The 12-storey condo project will include 448 units, ranging from studio to four bedrooms.
Quayside Phase One is projected to commence in 2025.
