The site is approximately 3.5 hectares in size and located between Lakeshore Drive and Bradford Street in proximity to the waterfront in the City Centre.
About the applications
The concept under consideration includes 4 towers measured at 22, 38, 40 and 42 storeys in height. The buildings are proposed to include approximately 1900 residential units (GFA 149,854 sq. m), ground floor commercial space (GFA 3,371 sq. m.) and the potential for 152 hotel suites (GFA 10,459 sq. m.). The site design illustrates the potential to provide public linkages from Bradford Street to Lakeshore Drive through the ground floor commercial uses, pathways adjacent Bunker's Creek and the opportunity for public space in proximity to the Bunker's Creek Ecopark.
