The James at Scrivener Square is a 23-storey mixed-use development in Toronto's Summerhill neighbourhood at the northeast corner of Yonge Street and Price Street. The James marks the first residential project in North America designed by acclaimed Danish firm COBE Architects.
Designed by COBE Architects and Graziani + Corazza Architects for Diamond Corp and Tricon Residential, The James features 120 luxury residential units with 17,200 sq.ft of office space across three floors and 10,500 sq.ft of ground-level retail. This includes a 4,200 sq.ft two-storey retail building. The residences offer spacious single-floor units with thoughtfully designed interiors and panoramic views of the neighbourhood.
The Shops at The James feature a mix of boutique retailers and outdoor patio seating that overlooks the vibrant public square. The pedestrian-friendly Scrivener Square enhances the public realm with improved connectivity, a central courtyard, and a park. The park features a circular arrangement of trees and a water basin imitating a grapefruit as the focal point. The development will also include 40 underground parking spaces for commercial use.
The James is situated in one of Toronto’s most affluent neighbourhoods, surrounded by an abundance of boutique shops, restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, and wellness amenities. Located just steps from Summerhill Station, it seamlessly connects you to neighbouring districts and the city’s downtown core.
The James at Scrivener Square is expected to be completed in 2026.
