700 UNIVERSITY AVENUE REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT INFORMATION
COMPANY: KingSett Capital
LOCATION: Toronto, Ontario
DATE: 2017
KingSett Capital's transformative redevelopment initiative at 700 University Avenue, featuring the renowned Ontario Power Building, is poised to redefine the essence of this historic locale. The project encompasses a multifaceted approach:
Retrofit and Expansion: Renowned for its distinctive curved glass façade, the existing office building is undergoing a comprehensive retrofit. This includes plaza reconstruction and the addition of five new floors, revitalizing the structure's aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Residential Tower: Embracing innovation, a striking 61-storey residential tower is emerging on the southwest corner of the premises. This addition seamlessly integrates with the existing architecture while elevating the site's stature within the urban landscape.
CodeNext Inc., a leader in fire and life safety engineering, has been instrumental in this endeavor. Their contributions span building condition assessments, barrier-free evaluations, tenant fit-outs, and the conceptualization of an avant-garde exit stair system. Through collaborative efforts, CodeNext Inc. has played a pivotal role in the evolution of this iconic building into a dynamic mixed-use hub, embodying a vision of modernity and functionality.
