Project information
2
The proposed development includes the construction of a six (6) storey mid-rise, mixed-use building at 224 Preston Street with two (2) commercial units on the ground floor and a total of 30 residential units.
The massing and design of the building is sensitive relative to the two-storey mixed-use building abutting the subject site and the residential neighbourhood surrounding it.
The building is primarily composed of beige brick, with dark grey paneling articulation and light grey walls accenting the fifth and sixth floors to further emphasize building stepback. The façade along Preston Street and Larch Street is heavily fenestrated to create a positive relationship between the building and the streetscape. The building aesthetic is softened through the inclusion of street trees along the frontage.
- 30 residential units and 2 commercial spaces.
- The building's façade features a mix of modern and traditional elements, adding character.
- The communal terraces serve as social hubs, fostering connections and a sense of community.
- The building seamlessly integrates residential and commercial spaces, creating a harmonious blend.
- Large windows and open layouts maximize natural light and create an airy ambiance.
- Architectural design reflects cultural heritage and complements vibrant neighborhood atmosphere.
Overall, the building responds to the existing context of the public realm as well as surrounding properties and reinforce the goals of the Mainstreet Corridor designation by animating Preston Street and filling a vacant and underutilized lot.
