We are excited to share our updated scheme for 720 Broadview! After the City of Toronto designated the zone around this intersection a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA), which recognizes that the neighbourhood has the infrastructure and population growth to support greater densification, we undertook a redesign of our mixed-use project for Choice Properties and submitted it for a rezoning application.

The two high-rise structures share curved linguistic elements that simultaneously contrast and complement one another. A slimmer 39-storey structure to the south features a convex profile made of off-white precast concrete that cantilevers away from the neighbourhood over the edge of the ravine. Finished in red-hued precast cladding, the 42-storey tower to the north consists of four slender volumes with textured elements and rounded corners that soften the overall massing. All cladding along the base of the buildings is red brick to cohere with the surrounding urban fabric and datum along Broadview. Because the store located at grade is one of the only large grocery retailers in the area, it was critical to devise a phasing strategy that would allow it to remain open throughout the first phase of construction.
