The design of Two St. Thomas elegantly blends the development within its neighbourhood, a dense mix of Victorian-era houses, University of Toronto gothic collegiate style buildings, and upscale, high-rise residential complexes. Located next to a well-known HPA project, the heritage-listed McKinsey and Company Headquarters, the building is comprised of two towers of 11 and 26-storeys. It is defined by its horizontal and vertical lines, clad in high-quality, enduring materials such as limestone and precast concrete. Harmonizing with its surroundings through careful consideration of scale and proportion, Two St. Thomas also differentiates itself with its modern design.
