130 Elizabeth Street lies on the view corridor from City Hall to the Discovery District, requiring a design that remains visually subordinate to City Hall and respectful of a context defined by major civic and institutional buildings. Its massing, material, and façade expression are calibrated to sit quietly within this setting. The tower accommodates market and affordable housing above office and research space for UHN and is being designed to meet Toronto Green Standard Tier 2, integrating performance requirements into the building’s envelope and systems.
