A COVID-defying mixed-use super-tall proposal.

212 King Street West - 310m - 79s - Dream - SHoP - proposed

660,000 square feet of office space, 588 residential rental units and 10,000 square feet of retail.

Architecture by SHoP (from Globe & Mail article):

"Mr. Pasquarelli explained that the design of the tower is broken up visually into two sections. The first, wider section would contain the office floors and be faced partly with white terracotta panels; the taller, narrower section, with predominantly black cladding, contains apartments. He said details of the architecture, including the textured ceiling of the atrium, would be inspired by the existing buildings, which once housed a factory where General Electric’s Canadian unit made turbines and motors."
