SmartVMC District Master Plan
Vaughan’s SmartVMC District is a compact, pedestrian friendly, mixed use urban community focused on transit. The 100-acre parcel is planned around Vaughan’s most recent intermodal transit hub and a linear central park 2/3 of a mile in length. The plan ensures that no resident or worker in the neighborhood is more than a 2 block walk from the green park space which defines the community.

Transforming what was a car centric environment into a walkable community required the integration of transit, a contiguous pedestrian network of public and private outdoor opens spaces, community facilities, essential retail, employment uses, and a wide range of residential typologies including rental and condominiums.

High Park Condominium
High Park is Toronto’s largest park with 400 acres of trails, playgrounds, dog parks, playing fields, and, for a short time in spring, cherry blossoms. Their design strategy, as a result, offered a building that respected the streetscape and reflected the character of its residents. To keep the building in-spirit with both the adjoining residential neighbourhoods and commercial Bloor Street, they placed retail spaces and a large courtyard at the front of the building.
