<\/a><\/p>\nPhotos: James Bombales<\/em><\/p>\n Project:<\/strong> Garrison Point Project:<\/strong> Novus Apartments A 7.75-acre parcel of land once occupied by vacant industrial and warehouse space is now in the midst of a major transformation. Known as the Ordnance Triangle for the street that runs through it, and its location between two rail lines that converge towards the downtown core, the area will soon be home to thousands of new residents.<\/p>\n Two large developments are currently under construction including Garrison Point Condominiums<\/a> on the northeastern portion and Novus Apartments on the south. Both projects consist of two high-rise towers, while a fifth tower is proposed for the northwestern corner of Ordnance Street and Strachan Avenue.<\/p>\n Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects<\/a>, the towers of Garrison Point each topped off last fall and now stand 29- and 35-storeys above the Ordnance Triangle, creating a new skyline in Toronto\u2019s west end. The tower crane of the shorter south building has already been removed while the crane on the north building is expected to be dismantled in the coming months. Outside, window wall installation is mostly complete as crews continue to install the project\u2019s distinctive white exterior cladding and balcony glass.<\/p>\n The ground level of each building houses the development\u2019s two-storey urban townhomes. The townhomes on the north building still have a lot of exterior work and framing that needs to be completed, but the ones on the south building give a glimpse of what they will eventually look like. Entryways include a small porch and feature warm wood-tone panels that contrast nicely with the building\u2019s white cladding. The panels are echoed on the second floor within the home\u2019s upstairs terrace. Occupancy at Garrison Point is expected to start later this year.<\/p>\n Situated opposite of the Garrison Point towers \u2014 on the same small wedge of land \u2014 construction on two rental towers are well underway. Developed by BentallGreenOak Residential Services<\/a> and designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the Novus Apartment complex will add at least 424 units to the city\u2019s much needed rental inventory when construction wraps up later this year.<\/p>\n
