Luxury Homes Breathe New Life into Art Deco Tower

The careful re-purposing of this iconic landmark building preserves its original character while creating 566 new homes. Inspired by the Art Deco style of its inception in 1931, the residential tower features a bespoke lobby with a custom Italian marble mosaic floor inspired by the Greco-Roman wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Two extensions have been added to the building. At the northeast corner, where retail previously failed to engage the street, the revitalized storefront houses a multi-level Whole Foods grocery store, fitness centre, day-care and other services previously lacking in the neighbourhood.
