Park Place VMC

The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Master Plan will establish a thriving urban atrium  in the heart of the City of Vaughan's evolving downtown core. An integral part of this master plan is Park Place, two mixed-use towers that will provide both retail and residential spaces to the downtown hub and contemporary building façades that will extend into defining a prolific city skyline. With the north tower rising to 48-storeys and the south tower at 56-storeys, the development will include over 1,100 residential units, a 3-storey retail and amenity podium, proximity to public transit, and a 9-acre landscaped park fronting the two towers, which will provide ample courtyard green space and a natural reprieve to residents of the area. 

The design is informed by a harmonious coexistence of the built form and the public realm and a guiding principle of sustainability. The podium and tower massing are creatively sculpted to define a retail plaza at the base, which will animate the sidewalks with dynamic pedestrian activity and create space for outdoor amenities. The towers are designed with a generous offset to preserve views and maximize access to light, while white fritted glass wraps around the towers to improve the overall window-to-wall ratio. Passive design concepts honing in on responsive solar strategies and building envelope optimization will help provide occupants with utmost comfort while simultaneously marking Park Place as a development rooted in resilience.
