EYE TO THE SKY

BDP Quadrangle’s design of 307 Lake Shore Boulevard East in Quayside was presented with the Future Project Award by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).

Plans for the 49-storey Toronto Waterfront condo entail meeting Passive House and Zero Carbon standards and setting new sustainability benchmarks through airtight enclosures, highperformance windows, and efficient mechanical systems.

Renderings showcase a lattice of offset triangular balconies spread across a flatiron shape. As the surrounding area develops, the shape and open-air feel of the balconies are designed to reduce building congestion and protect sky views and access to sunlight. The balconies feature solar screening to lower the building’s heat gain and reduce energy loads.

Plaza Partners is also focusing on affordable housing options and cultural and community spaces. Construction is set to begin in 2026, with plans for 430 units.
