Rising 17-stories adjacent to the downtown rail corridor, 1071 King Street West establishes a unique urban gateway to King Street West from Liberty Village by building on the site’s triangular geometry and the vernacular materiality of the area, while also integrating the future continuation of the West Toronto Railpath. The result is a striking red brick flatiron landmark that relies on a geothermal heating and cooling system, a model for thoughtful and sustainable rental residential design. The site transforms a residual site into a place of lasting value to both the neighbourhood and the city.

Guiding Principles

Iconic Architecture

The 17-storey building establishes a striking flatiron landmark that functions as a western gateway to King Street West. The design features a continuous, high-quality red brick streetwall, before incorporating a series of architectural stepbacks above the 9th floor. This design respects the local eight-to-nine-storey streetwall datum while terminating key area view corridors with a distinct urban silhouette.

Transit Connected

The site capitalizes on a high-frequency transit network, positioned within immediate walking distance of higher-order transit options. The property sits less than a five-minute walk from the future King-Liberty SmartTrack Station and 800 metres from the existing Exhibition GO Station. This connectivity minimizes automobile dependency while mentally reframing how residents connect to the downtown core and the surrounding city fabric.

Cycling Integration

The development proactively integrates active infrastructure by dedicating 230 square metres to a new public park along the King Street West frontage. The building also features a dedicated bike tunnel running from Douro Street to the on site park. This pathway is engineered as a seamless public link to the future West Toronto Railpath extension, connecting residents directly to the greater Toronto cycling network.
