Underground construction has begun at the site of the latest condo towers to go up in in the increasingly intense King and Spadina area.
Charlie, designed by
Diamond + Schmitt, built by
Great Gulf with interiors by Cecconi Simone and landscaping by Janet Rosenberg and Associates, will be a 36-storey, 300-unit tower on an 8-storey podium.
All glass, the building will also include 6,000 square feet of retail along King Street, livening up a strip that used to be dominated by the parking lot this condo, replaces. The entrance to the residential portion of the building will be off Charlotte Street.
"It's a highly sought-after residential area that's changed immeasurably since Barbara Hall took the
industrial use restrictions off in the mid-1990s." says Great Gulf's director of market and acquisitions Geoff Matthews.
