Acton Ostry Architects

2950 Prince Edward is a rezoning for a mixed-use development consisting of two secured rental residential towers atop a commercial podium. Located in the TransLink Frequent Transit Network near the future Broadway Subway Mount Pleasant Station, the project aligns with the pattern of development that has evolved along the Uptown Mount Pleasant Kingsway corridor. The transit-oriented development offers 542 rental residential units, featuring two- and three-bedroom family residences for the rapidly growing neighbourhood. The rezoning includes a 37-space child care centre. The punched-facade proposes a classic but contemporary expression with a strong rhythm that supports the finer-grained retail storefronts. Glazing wraps the corner and is further articulated with cantilevered balconies that stack to produce a slender form that is reminiscent of a classic flatiron expression.
