400 WELLINGTON WEST

Developer: The Sorbara Group

A valued client wanted to create a 100+ unit condo that would stand out in a rapidly changing area - on a postage stamp site (19,000 sf) pierced by laneways and walkways. The City’s Public Realm Policy emphasizes pedestrian linkages and public laneways. Our client understood the value of existing laneways both as a feature of this historical neighbourhood and a contributor to the potential appeal of the property, which fronts on an avenue with a welcoming broad boulevard.

Our graceful solution maximizes the use of the site, above and below ground, with an L-shaped structure that echoes the quarter’s spirit and history.

All with nine-foot ceilings, the 102 units, ranging from 510 sf to 1,770 sf, provide a comfortable downtown living experience that is peaceful and sheltered, yet only a short walk from the entertainment district.
