The application describes a unique aspect of the building’s lighting strategy: ” Much like how the old lit signs along Kingsway changed between day and night, the intention of the project is to have lighting integrated into architectural components (balconies) to transform the project throughout the day. Without lighting elements, the building fit into the context of the neighbourhood, however, as day turns to night, the intention is that the project transforms and visually marks this special site in the Norquay Village Neighbourhood Plan.”

The application is being considered under the Norquay Village Neighbourhood Centre Plan.

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.

Coromandel assembled the site in 2017 for a combined $40,000,000, or $212 per buildable SF.
