Preview: Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts
Lighthouse East Tower Collection
Toronto's waterfront just got a whole lot more exciting with Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts. From powerhouse developer Daniels Corporation, in conjunction with Giannone Petricone Associates Inc. (Riverside Square, East United Condos), this mixed-use project at the corner of Jarvis Street and Queens Quay is comprised of two residential towers, as well as 130 QQE, a separate retail/office/institutional complex that will be linked to the residences by an outdoor space dubbed "The Yard." The space will be home to a host of vibrant retail and restaurant options. At the southwest corner of the site, this Daniels community will also feature a northward extension of the popular Sugar Beach.
The wildly popular first phase of the waterfront project, The West Tower, is the taller of the two buildings, with its beautiful mason- and glass-clad exterior rising 45 storeys. The East Tower, at 36 stories, will also feature Giannone Petricone's iconic design, with sweeping bands of glass and whimsical dot-screen frit recreating a sense of waves and movement. The towers will be joined by a shared podium space and grand amenity area.
An iconic landmark
More than just a place to live, City of the Arts aims to create a community for its residents. Whether it's for work, play, or living, this highly anticipated project will revitalize the way we think about our waterfront.
This ambitious project will include:
- 650,000 square feet of residential space across two towers
- 240,000 square feet of post-secondary academic space focusing on design, arts, and digital media
- 280,000 square feet of commercial office space across two towers
- 150,000 square feet of arts & cultural space, hosting notable organizations like Artscape, George Brown College, and OCAD University
- 27,000 square feet of retail space
- A northward extension to Sugar Beach by designer Claude Cormier + Associates
- The Yard: an east-west animated outdoor living room featuring an array of trendy retail, cafés, and restaurants
The West Tower is currently in its sales phase, with many floor plans sold out. The East Tower will launch in late April 2017. A mix of floor plans will range in size from studios to two bedroom plus den suites, with approximately 426 units for sale. Maintenance fees are estimated to be $0.56 per square foot.
