Halsa 230 Royal York

Location
Toronto, Ontario

Client
Windmill Developments + Leaderlane Developments

Leveraging on a product approach, Halsa 230 Royal York is the first in a portfolio of 9 storey rental buildings in Toronto, ON meeting One Planet Living Guidelines and LEED Platinum. This prototype will be adapted to similar sites across Toronto and has the flexibility to accommodate alternate unit layouts for a condo or rental configuration as markets change. This Intelligent City pre-fabricated mass timber building system allows for infill mid-rise development to be feasible at a price point lower than traditional concrete construction cannot meet at this scale. True to the concept of scalability, LWPAC with Intelligent City have designed this project as the first of many for this Owner to deploy on other sites. With the project just having broken ground and proving the advantages of pre-fabrication and mass timber being the only viable construction method to meet a low carbon sustainably built, affordable and durable housing demand, a second of a series of similar building is now about to begin schematic design with the anticipation of substantially reduced lead time and increased efficiency.
