The floor plan

Ground floor

Architect's proposed ground-floor plan showing numbered retail units along the Portage Avenue frontage, warehouse and flex bays to the rear, and a block of lettered studios in the center.

Coming

Phase 2 is under way

The ground floor is roughly 20,000 of the building's 56,000 square feet. The lower level and second floor follow, built out much the same way — so if you need more room than exists today, it's worth asking.

Interior of the Phase 2 space: a skylight over exposed timber joists and pale brick walls, with stacked lumber and buckets on the concrete floor.Two large openings cut through a brick pier, looking into an adjoining bay with steel columns and a timber ceiling.
Phase 2 in progress, 2026.
