The design approach to downtown living at Garrison Point starts with close attention to the interplay of architectural form, urban design, open space, and the public realm. The development creates a new mixed-use neighbourhood of quality inner city residences in the historic Fort York district of southwest Toronto. Sited to preserve views enjoyed by existing area residents, and to provide city vistas for future residents, the development includes five HPA-designed residential towers ranging from 24 to 39 storeys—half of which will be rental buildings. The development also includes a four-acre park designed by Claude Cormier + Associés, retail, and a new home for Eva’s Phoenix, an at-risk youth shelter.

For the city at large, the expansive park within the development serves as a touchdown point for the new Fort York pedestrian and cycle bridge, linking the soon-to-be expanded Stanley Park to the north, Liberty Village to the west and the lakefront to the south.
