Benoy part of winning Toronto Quayside development consortium

Together with architects Adjaye Associates, Alison Brooks Architects and Henning Larsen, the proposal will accelerate Toronto’s economic recovery and create an extraordinary neighbourhood.

The proposal for Quayside will make a real difference in the lives of those who live near the waterfront or come to visit.

Among the highlights of the winning submission from Dream and Great Gulf were proposals to create:

• 800+ affordable housing units, more than doubling the affordable housing Waterfront Toronto has brought to the waterfront, with many delivered in earliest stages to address an urgent need.
• New public spaces, including a two-acre forested green space, plus a significant urban farm atop one of Canada’s largest residential mass timber buildings.
• A landmark cultural destination and multi-use arts venue that brings together space for the performing arts, Indigenous-centered cultural celebrations and flexible education spaces.
• Exemplary low-carbon development and innovations, making Quayside the first all-electric, zero-carbon community at this scale;
• Visionary world-class architecture that will raise the bar on design across the entire neighbourhood and create a visually striking focal point on Toronto’s waterfront.
