ELAD Canada unveils Galleria III, Toronto's news flatiron building
October 19, 2020
ELAD Canada has unveiled Galleria III, the next phase in the Galleria on the Park master-planned community in Toronto’s West End. The design-forward, mixed-use tower marks the entryway into the 20-acre site at Dufferin and Dupont with a flatiron design that pays homage to the area’s industrial heritage.
The community includes public realm spaces such as a new eight-acre city park, a 95,000-sq.-ft. community centre, pedestrian mews and retail spaces.
Exciting new chapter
“Rising at the entrance of Galleria on the Park, Galleria III will become the new landmark building for not only our community but for the West End,” says Rafael Lazer, CEO, ELAD Canada. “This marks an exciting new chapter for Toronto’s cityscape. We have always believed in this special neighbourhood, already a source for so much ingenuity and entrepreneurship and we are proud to deliver better community amenities, green spaces and beautiful architecture to the area.”
Standing at 31 storeys, Galleria III features a deep red brick exterior at the podium, honouring both the industrial heritage of the site as well as the neighbouring homes. Industrial themes create continuity throughout the design with metal panels inspired by intricate patterns of steel radiators featured on the tower’s exterior and vertical metal guardrails on balconies.
Zen-like atmosphere
The amenity program includes a fully equipped fitness centre with a yoga room, spin studio and meditation room, as well as an exterior dog run and pet wash, outdoor yoga spaces, and private pods surrounded by lush trees. Wood ceilings and neutral materials impart a natural, calming, and Zen-like atmosphere. Co-working spaces include semi-private desks, meeting rooms and a multipurpose studio room.
Galleria III will include 426 residences, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. Suites range from 388 sq. ft. to 1,228 sq. ft.
Galleria on the Park will eventually comprise nearly 2,900 condominium residences and 300,000 sq. ft. of retail space.
