The volumes and voids of this project are derived from its place on Toronto’s new Cultural Corridor. Running the length of McCaul from Dundas southward onto John and stretching all the way to the lake, Toronto’s new Cultural Corridor along John Street encompasses many of the City’s most important cultural institutions.
Adelaide + John steps away from the curb and reveals a beautiful urban courtyard where impromptu gatherings or programmed and cultural events take place. Relocating a historic façade southward along John Street allows for a mixed-use development including ground floor retail, restaurants, and two floors of amenity space within the 42-storey tower which responds in scale to its slightly taller neighbour: the Festival Tower.
