The Well

The Well—as in “living, working, and playing well”—aims to shape a synergistic space where residents, workers, and neighbours enrich the urban experience for one another. Bordered by Spadina Avenue, Front, Draper, and Wellington Streets, the project injects a dynamic mix of uses into a key city-centre site. The truly mixed-use development, composed of equal parts commercial and residential space, is the missing piece that will complete the larger neighbourhood. Close to half a million square feet of retail and over a million square feet of commercial office space will be added to this underserviced area, bringing much needed retail amenity to the neighbourhood. More than a million and a half square feet of residential units will also be added, including both rental and market condominiums. The completed site will have a total of seven buildings and will preserve the character of the neighbourhood including the historic cottages of Draper Street. A new 36-storey office building at the intersection of Front and Spadina, also designed by HPA, will mark the gateway into the new neighbourhood.
