Mixed-use Toronto King complex models Montreal’s Habitat 67
A new project in Toronto aims to break the city’s monotony of steel and concrete with shimmering mountains of terraced gardens and glass.
Westbank has partnered with Allied Properties Real Estate Investment Trust and BIG, and Toronto firm Diamond Schmitt Architects is also assisting in the project. “It really is based on the concept of a mountain. The idea is that if you walk up a mountain, you’ll see different types of trees and vegetation as you go up.”
The project is designed to be pedestrian-friendly as well as awe-inspiring in the hopes of attracting affluent strollers, he explains. “You can look on one side and see the heritage building with stained glass windows and on the other side there are glass blocks.” “For example, he did a project in Copenhagen – ironically called ‘the Mountain’ – where there was retail, but it didn’t work because the area was too sparse.” By 2020, an Ingels’-designed project with an unusual tower called Vancouver House opened, where the street-level was more people-friendly, Mr. Toderian says.
