Taking advantage of its close proximity to the downtown core, 88 Queen East transforms a full-block parking lot into a vibrant, mixed-use community. Bordered by Mutual, Dalhousie, Shuter, and Queen Streets, the four-tower master plan infuses the neighbourhood with additional retail, commercial office space, purpose-built rentals, and market condominiums. Over half of the development is dedicated to the public realm with the addition of two communal outdoor spaces and retail-animated, brick-lined pedestrian walkways that weave throughout the site—fostering a sense of community within a cohesive campus.
Echoing the existing character and architecture of Queen Street, the three HPA-designed towers feature a consistent material palette with lively frontages to strengthen their connection to the neighbourhood. The development will provide a suitable transition between the densely built downtown core to the west and the low-rise residential neighbourhoods to the east.
