Harbour Plaza embodies a ‘vertical community’ typology that has transformed a commercial site near the Toronto waterfront, formerly abandoned after 5 PM, into a vibrant 24-hour neighbourhood occupied by approximately 9,000 residents, workers and visitors. Slender, iconic residential towers are stacked above a four-storey podium programmed with retail above-grade and local services that animate the street. A bright white skin of pierced aluminum wraps the towers, inspired by the rippling reflection of sunlight on Lake Ontario.
