The Ivory is a mixed-use condominium situated in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood of Toronto. One of the oldest parts of the city, the area contains the celebrated Market, landmark 19th-century buildings, and contemporary restaurants, galleries and boutiques. Inspired by the practice of ivory carving, the building’s elegant form is defined through solid surfaces punctuated by random voids. The 22-storey tower meets the street with seven and ten storey podiums, bringing both new retail and a landscaped courtyard to a formerly strictly commercial length of Adelaide Street.
