The earliest stages of construction are unfolding for what is sure to become a prominent landmark on Toronto's King Street West. As demolition of some parts of the existing buildings on the site continues, the arrival of shoring rigs is marking the start of construction for Westbank Corp and Allied Properties REIT's KING Toronto, a 16-storey mountain range-shaped luxury condominium complex from acclaimed Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group and Toronto based Diamond Schmitt Architects. — Urban Toronto
Following months of extensive demolition work, the site has been mostly cleared for what is shaping up to become a major urban redevelopment on Toronto's King Street West, reports Urban Toronto.
Dubbed KING Toronto, the Bjarke Ingels Group-designed, Westbank/Allied-funded condo and mixed-use building was first proposed in 2016 and eventually won the city's approval in 2018.
Completion of the 16-story complex is scheduled for 2022.
