THE PAST + THE FUTURE

From the year 1910 to the 1980s, this building was the original home to the Maclean Publishing Property, one of the most recognized structures on University Avenue. The property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

Since this structure is a commercial building from the interwar era, it contains a variety of bold design influences, from Beaux-Arts to Modern Classical. The exterior of this development will be restored, while the interior will be created and designed to the highest standard of modern office and retail available today. Designs for this building will be inspired by the energy of the location, while also preserving architectural cultural heritage.
