Commercial Property: Union Park
2 min read
Union Park is set to become one of Toronto’s largest mixed-use developments, introducing 4.3 million square feet of new office, residential, retail, and public space to the city’s downtown core. This transformative masterplan will add four striking towers to Toronto’s iconic skyline, creating a vibrant and modern community.
Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects and Pelli Clarke & Partners for Oxford Properties Group, Union Park features two office towers and two residential towers, complemented by 200,000 square feet of retail space. This project offers over 800 family-oriented residential units featuring one-, two-, and three-bedrooms, as well as modern amenities, including an on-site daycare. With over 1.5 million square feet of innovative workspace, the two office towers are connected by a five-storey podium featuring retail shops, a restaurant, a cafe, and an enclosed glass Winter Garden atrium. Union Park is designed to enhance the public realm of the neighbourhood and bring greenspace to the downtown area with public parks and gardens that foster community gatherings. The project revitalizes the Isabella Valancy Crawford Park and integrates a three-acre park over the Union Station rail corridor, creating opportunities for public art, installations, and community programs.
Union Park’s master plan is rooted in thoughtful design strategies and practices that foster a sustainable, environmentally conscious community. The towers are designed to achieve LEED Platinum standards and will incorporate a range of sustainable features, including cycling infrastructure, renewable energy systems, on-site solar, greywater recycling, and deep lake water cooling.
Situated on the southeast corner of Front Street West and Blue Jays Way, Union Park sits in a major transit hub, just a short walk from five subway and train stations. The development also includes a proposed PATH extension, creating a direct connection to Union Station. With its prime location in the heart of Downtown Toronto, adjacent to the CN Tower and Rogers Centre, Union Park offers convenient access to the city’s most iconic destinations and offerings.
Union Park is expected to be complete in 2028.
