Lanterra selects Tonkin Liu for public art project at Notting Hill

Lanterra Developments has announced that renowned British architecture firm Tonkin Liu, led by partners Anna Liu and Mike Tonkin, will create their first permanent sculpture in Canada as part of a new public art project integrated in Lanterra’s master-planned community development, Notting Hill, at 4000 Eglinton Ave W. As one of Lanterra’s largest sites, Notting Hill is located in Toronto’s coveted West End at Royal York and Eglinton. The sculpture is expected to become a significant cultural beacon for the area and is currently in early development phase. The sculpture is slated for installation in early 2026.

Cultural and social value

Lanterra has also partnered with OCAD University and the Etobicoke School of the Arts to fund a mentorship program led by Anna Liu and Mike Tonkin. This will allow students to work closely with Liu, seeing through the Notting Hill public art project from start to finish.

“Lanterra is committed to upholding the cultural and social value that public art brings to not only our condominiums but the city of Toronto at large,” says Mark Mandelbaum, chairman of Lanterra Developments. “We were moved by Tonkin Liu’s proposal with their unique take on bringing inspiration from her roots in London, England to Toronto’s very own Notting Hill. We are honoured to commission their very first Canadian project.”
