Livmore High Park

Project Details

Livmore High Park is a purpose-built rental tower and infill intensification project located adjacent to High Park. With a shortage of housing inventory and the soaring price of homes in Canada, purpose-built rentals are quickly becoming an affordable alternative to condominium high-rises. The Livmore is designed with a greater focus on long-term operation, increased energy conservation, quality materials and specialized amenities.

Two 25-storey towers add 528 rental units to the site’s existing 1960s era concrete apartment buildings. The towers contain a mix of unit types from studio to three-bedrooms, with 16 townhouse units forming the base of the five-storey podium. Two pavilions tie the site together and provide 20,000 square feet of amenities for the use of all tenants in the complex. The pavilions include an indoor pool, gym, studios for instructor-led classes, shared party rooms, dedicated hobby space, and an indoor children’s play area.

Our design strategy integrates the desired level of density with an attractive pedestrian-friendly street condition. The towers are clad in light precast concrete with a warm tone, contrasted by strategic areas of charcoal colour brick. The façade is comprised of a base pattern of which a set of pattern variations establish a rhythm of volumetric and material distinctions. These recessed and extruded patterns provide visual interest at the human scale and establish a desirable solid-to-glass façade ratio.

Strong environmental sustainability through high performance, resource efficiency, and low impact was a design priority. The towers have achieved LEED Gold certification and Toronto Green Standard Tier 2, with key sustainability features including rainwater retention, green roofs, energy efficient heating and cooling, and in-suite water efficient fixtures. By the project’s completion, there will be over 30% more trees on site.
