The 388 King Street West development, located near the Entertainment and Financial Districts of downtown Toronto, will create commercial space for a new generation of downtown residents looking to work within walking distance of their homes. Consisting of 33 storeys of office space and a retail strip at grade, the building will include parking for 256 cars and 325 bicycles. With this design, Allied Properties will generate 740,000 square feet of high-quality office space to attract diverse tenants with flexible layouts amenable to small firms and businesses, as well as large institutes and organizations.

In this project, HPA seeks to create a highly sustainable office building. The proposed design manages heat gain from direct sunlight through a high-performance, double-glazed window system, along with horizontal and vertical solar shade fins on the façade. Photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof will generate energy.

The design breaks down large floor plates into functional workspaces, anticipating future tenant demand while mitigating the impacts of increased density on the neighbourhood and adjacent streetscape.

Expansive green roofs and lounge areas, along with a range of first-rate commercial and residential amenities, will be offered at 388 King Street West.
