18 YORKVILLE/
THE VILLAS AT
YORKVILLE

18 Yorkville has transformed a rundown section of Yonge Street at the edge of Toronto’s premier shopping district, and infused it with new vitality and energy.

18 Yorkville was conceived as an ensemble of buildings, organized around a new public park that ties the project into the Yorkville retail and entertainment district. The complex consists of a slender 36-storey residential tower, anchored by a seven-storey podium facing east onto Yonge Street. The Villas townhouse building faces north onto Scollard, and defers to the scale and materials of this side street of Victorian workers cottages.

A newly created public park shelters in the ‘L’ formed by 18 Yorkville and the Villas. It provides a graceful transition between a revitalized Yonge Street, the modernist aesthetic of the new buildings, and the surrounding historical precinct.
