MRKT Alexandra Park

BILD Awards, Building Industry and Land Development Association, 2021

In partnership with CS&P Architects, we are developing two mixed-use buildings: one with affordable housing for Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) operated by Atkinson Cooperative and the other with market housing for Tridel.
Our approach to the design of the buildings was to make the Atkinson Cooperative building and the market condominium read as a single, unified development. Although the residential interiors of the two buildings differ, the architectural expression on the exterior makes them indistinguishable. To avoid any sense of separation between residents of the mixed-tenure buildings, a portion of the outdoor amenities will be shared by all residents.


The Alexandra Park Revitalization Project is an ambitious city-building initiative that aims to rebuild and rejuvenate the Alexandra Park community as a vibrant and pedestrian-oriented neighbourhood in the heart of downtown Toronto.
Ground floor program spaces are arranged around a lush exterior garden that slopes dramatically up the building. This creates outdoor recreation areas for all residents, hides service and loading zones, and leads to outdoor lounge spaces and community garden plots with views over Dundas Street West.
