6 Dawes

Location: Toronto, Ontario
Client: Slate Asset Management, Carlyle Communities
Completion: 2025

This proposal represents an opportunity to replace an existing self-storage facility in Toronto's Main and Danforth neighbourhood with a new high-density, transit-oriented development. In addition to three residential towers, an integrated entrance for the GO Transit station, a City-run community centre, and a publicly accessible private park bring additional benefits to meet the needs of this established community.
