Demolition, site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Toronto, Ontario. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a municipal facility; and conference / convention center.

The 0.6-hectare large site is presently occupied by a conference centre. The proposed development includes a 54-storey mixed-use conference facility and commercial tower. It consists of a 5-storey podium containing the conference facility, 8-storeys of mid- building office terraces, and a 41 storey office tower. The development will contain approximately 117,000 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, including 105,000 square metres of Class A office space, 9,580 square metres of conference space, and 2,580 square metres of retail space. The 9,580 square metre conference centre replaces the existing conference centre. The new and modernized facilities will consist of a 1,900 square metre clear-span main ballroom, a 900 square metre clear-span junior ballroom, and 5,700 square metres of flexible meeting rooms, pre-function area, and back of house spaces. It will maintain the symbiotic relationship with the Westin Harbour Castle hotel, capitalizing on the 977 rooms of the hotel to attract conventions to Toronto and ensuring a high level of hotel occupancy. The development has been designed to create a landmark presence at the gateway between the Financial District and waterfront, and a new destination along Queens Quay, the foremost public realm corridor.
