Waterfront project design doesn't break new ground

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2007 / June 15

Close but no cigar – that's what the Waterfront Design Review Panel told Jack Diamond yesterday. The Toronto architect was presenting his latest design for the first project on the revitalized harbour lands of Lake Ontario. "It's getting closer," said panel chair Bruce Kuwabara. "There has been some movement, but there's still a lot of stuff to be determined." The building, which will house Corus Entertainment and its 1,100 employees, will occupy an important site at the foot of Jarvis St. It also happens to be the first building to be constructed under the aegis of the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corp. Because of this, the TWRC insists that scheme set a high standard for architecture and sustainability. According to Diamond, the building will be LEED Gold, second only to LEED Platinum as an environmental rating.
