<\/a><\/p>\nPhotos: James Bombales<\/em><\/p>\n Project:<\/strong> Empire Maverick Condos<\/a> Situated in the heart of the Entertainment District, along King Street West, Toronto\u2019s Restaurant Row has been the site of significant residential development planning for years. With a location dotted with amenities that include some of the city\u2019s top attractions, it was inevitable that this stretch of King Street West would be part of the city\u2019s condo boom. <\/p>\n Empire Communities<\/a> is the first on the block with the 310-unit Empire Maverick Condos<\/a> planned for 321 to 333 King Street West. Although it sits adjacent to the recently completed<\/a> King Blue Condos<\/a> to the west, Maverick is the first development that will incorporate some of the buildings on Restaurant Row into its design. The 49-storey tower features modern architecture by IBI Group, characterized by a geometric two-tone fa\u00e7ade and sophisticated interiors by U31. <\/p>\n At the base of the building, the project will restore and preserve the brick frontage of the heritage-designated Hughes Terrace, while a new structure at 327 King Street West will be constructed as the main residential entrance. Built in the mid-1800s, the three-storey Hughes Terrace was designed in the Georgian style of architecture that was popular in Toronto during that time. When completed, it will become part of Maverick\u2019s retail frontage and new restaurants are expected to be introduced to the row. <\/p>\n
