The site sits adjacent to the Frank Stollery Parkette, a small public courtyard. As part of the proposal, this parkette will be reimagined and enhanced with improved landscaping and the addition of a world-class art piece, which befits the space as a gateway to Toronto’s downtown.

The residential tower, accessible off Scollard, will be slender in form, with a dramatic grid-like façade clad in white marble and concrete.
Location & Neighbourhood
A neighbourhood that signifies both luxury and urban mobility, Yorkville is a vibrant place to live where almost every high-end amenity is at your fingertips. The stretch of Bloor Street from Yonge Street to Avenue Road – which is just minutes from the condo site – is often referred to as “Fifth Avenue North,” for its selection of upscale retailers such as Holt Renfrew, Tiffany & Co, Coach and Hermes.
878 Yonge Street Condos neighbourhood is also a mecca for A-list dining, design showrooms and high-end lifestyle services, which you’re likely to find on some of the side streets. Thanks to a sleek high-rise corridor that incorporates both residential and office buildings, it’s just as popular a neighbourhood to live in as it is to work in and the demand for space here reflects that.
It’s also considered one of the city’s main transit hubs, being one of the only intersections that provides subway access in all four directions. From here, getting to many of the city’s major destinations takes only minutes, including the Financial District, Ryerson University, The Entertainment District and Union Station. it scores a near perfect 99 on its Walk Score and a 95 on its Transit Score.
