Inspired by Life, Community, and Design

KING Toronto will transform what is already a transitional area of Toronto. At a crossroad defined by the east-west corridor King Street W and the emerging north-south connection from St. Andrews playground to the waterfront, KING Toronto aims to bring mixed-use development wrapped around a public plaza that will create a new centre for the community while connecting the various pedestrian pathways that crisscross the area.

Each element of KING Toronto serves a purpose: The courtyard draws people in from the street, the heritage buildings provide an anchor on King Street W and the residences above offer unique views of the city from their cascading terraces. It’s a combination of public plaza, historic construction, retail and residential spaces that, together, will create something greater than the sum of its parts: a new community and way of living for Toronto.

COURTYARD AND PUBLIC REALM

Applying the “Total Work of Art” philosophy to the courtyard and public realm, KING Toronto will be a diverse and lively zone for living and shopping with new retail, hospitality, workspace and cultural offerings. This yearround destination will feature restaurants and cafes, one-of-a-kind shops and services, street celebrations and craft & farmers markets.

• KING Toronto will offer approximately 180,000 sf of Retail Space
• KING Toronto will offer approximately 60,000 sf of Office / Workspace

PUBLIC ART

Until now, we have never had a canvas quite like KING Toronto, including a grand inner courtyard that will be transformed by one of the most substantial and beautiful public art works yet to grace the streets – or plazas – of Toronto. BIG have suggested the artistic possibilities of suspending mirrored spheres that would take advantage of the infinite changes of light in a partially enclosed space, creating focal points for residents looking in from all angles. As part of the City of Toronto’s Public Art program, we will invite three or four artists to compete in a juried process and we are confident that we will be able to attract world-class talent and that their proposals will fulfill our own ambitions and those of the people of Toronto.
