One Park Place is part of the revitalization of Canada’s oldest and largest social housing community, Regent Park. In the 1940s, 69 acres of dilapidated housing were razed, and the street grid was erased to create a self-contained, strictly residential development. In 2005, the City of Toronto began working with Daniels Corporation to recreate Regent Park as a mixed-use and mixed-income neighbourhood, with a re-established street grid connecting to the rest of the city.
One Park Place features two towers—one 25 storeys and one 29 storeys—and occupies a full block. The ecological engineering efforts of the project aim to achieve a LEED Gold target. The development contains offices, market-rate condominiums, amenity space, and ground-floor retail that will help re-establish an active street experience lost 60 years ago.
