Located at the corner of Bay Street and Davenport Road, The Florian rises in a crescent shape where Yorkville—Toronto’s high-end retail district—and the historic residential neighbourhood of Rosedale meet. The form of the building was determined by the site’s unusual shape. Davenport Road follows the path of an ancient Native Canadian trail and is consequently one of Toronto’s only streets that lies off the city’s regular grid plan, thereby creating a curved site at the Bay Street terminus.
This 25-storey mixed-use project features retail space at the ground floor level and large, luxurious units above. High-end amenities such as an indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a fourth-floor rooftop garden complement the spacious suites. The material palette reflects the luxury market for living units in a prime Toronto location adjacent to all the urban amenities of downtown.
