Menkes Releases the First Rendering for Harbour Plaza
By Lucas on Apr 18, 2013
We have been waiting very patiently for more information on Menkes’ Harbour Plaza. Located at 90 Harbour St., just west of Bay St., Harbour Plaza is easily one the most highly anticipated condos in Toronto. Thanks to our friends at Menkes, we now have the first rendering of the exciting development.
The design of Harbour Plaza
Menkes is looking to bring a new look to the area. The modern-contemporary style will reflect the surrounding architecture, but the playful lines created by the balconies will certainly stand out along Toronto’s skyline.
According to an application submitted with the City of Toronto, Menkes is looking to develop twin residential towers, reaching 66 and 62 storeys. Harbour Plaza will be comprised of approximately 1,300 suites, 716 parking spots in a four-level below grade parking garage, as well as a significant office component. Groundbreaking is scheduled for this winter!
The history of 90 Harbour St.
90 Harbour was the site of the Ontario Workmen’s Compensation Board Building, which was built in 1953. The Ontario Provincial Police also called the address home from 1975 to 1989, at which point the building became vacant. The site was sold to Menkes in 2011, and the building was demolished to make way for whatever Menkes had in mind. With this new rendering, the future is looking bright for 90 Harbour.
Harbour Plaza in downtown Toronto
Once completed, Harbour Plaza’s neighbourhood will no doubt be one of the most desired hubs in Toronto’s downtown core. Located minutes from both the Air Canada Centre and the Rogers Centre, sports enthusiasts will be able to avoid traffic and stroll to the big games. Residents will also be within a close proximity to the lake and Harbour Front, as well as the Entertainment District and Financial District. Harbour Plaza is offering downtown living at its best!
