1200 Bay Street
With close to 6 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area, Toronto is the largest city in Canada. The city is located on the north-western edge of Lake Ontario. During the 19th century the city’s low-rise urban growth to the north, east and west was rapid. During this time Queen’s Park and the Horticultural Gardens were established which together with the harbour to the south and deep ravines to the north, became defining elements for the limits of the central business district and the tall buildings which would eventually define it. Bloor Street has played a significant role in the identity and organisation of the city. It is a major east-west axis which defines the northern edge of the downtown area and hosts one of the best-known shopping areas in Toronto. Its intersection with Bay Street – the location of this project – is a strategic site within the city. It is at the heart of a new cluster of buildings which will echo the tallest buildings in the city surrounding the intersection of Bay Street and King Street. The western edge of the site adjoins an existing sixteen-storey building which is due to be developed in the near future.
