Live downtown without the density.

Tridel is kicking off the Alexandra Park

revitalization by constructing SQ, the first

condominium that will anchor this master

planned community. Designed by the

acclaimed firm of Teeple Architects, the

intense sculptural forms of SQ reflect

their urban conditions and placement on

the site. The dramatic new building grows

out of the low-rise forms on Queen Street

West and gradually increases in height

like a built-up hillside to meet the taller

buildings to the north.

SQ is situated on a quiet side street, just

northwest of the vibrant intersection of

Spadina and Queen. Here the rush of city

life fades away, muffled by established

trees and greenspace. You can enjoy

the best of downtown living while being

off the beaten path. Be in the thick of

things without feeling crowded. Yet only

a short walk away, you’re surrounded

by the eclectic excitement of Queen

Street West, the big business buzz of

the Financial District, the higher learning

of the U of T campus, and a multitude

of area attractions and entertainment.

SQ is the first step in a massive urban

development plan that will see this

downtown community invigorated and

renewed with fresh imagination and

visionary design.

It’s hIp to be

square.

Walk or bike, everything is so close by that nowhere is a hike. Cyclists will appreciate

the convenience of direct access to a stackable storage system for their bikes

right from the street. The ideal downtown location of SQ puts you at the centre of

everything. Steps from both the Spadina and Queen streetcar lines. A short hop away

from the subway and Union Station, Toronto’s grand central commuter hub. Close to

the major city access routes of the Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Boulevard and

the Don Valley Parkway. If you’re flying out of town, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport

beckons with its speedy check-ins and rapid commuter flights. A short ferry ride to

the Toronto Islands offers a panoramic view of the city’s impressive skyline and the

beautiful waterfront promenade.

Originally built in 1968, this large urban park was

named after Queen Alexandra, wife of King Edward

VII – the first future monarchs to visit Toronto. With

its abundance of mature trees, shrubs and landscaped

flowerbeds, this relaxing greenspace is enjoyed by

many. The park is also home to a community centre,

public library, swimming pool, skateboard park in the

summer, and outdoor skating rink in the winter.

Tridel, Toronto’s most acclaimed condominium builder, is breathing fresh life into a

locations in the city. New public parks and private amenity spaces will add to the

natural landscape. New connector streets will provide easy access to the city’s

main routes. Charming pedestrian pathways will bring convenient city life to your

doorstep. Dramatic new condominiums and townhomes will shape this exciting urban

experience. This is a rare opportunity to live in a gloriously invigorated community

that’s redefining urban life as we know it.

Ignite the imagination.

SQ commands a cornerstone position

for urban adventurers to take up

residence. Located northwest of the

Spadina and Queen intersection, SQ

features a stunningly modern, geometric

design that steps away from the typical

boutique condo aesthetic. The inspired

building sets a spectacular new standard

for downtown living. An irregular

stack of blocks and protrusions deliver

higher insulation values and sculpturally

rebrand the community. Staggered

balconies maximize the sense of private

outdoor space while providing focused

views of the surrounding greenspace.

The rambunctious arrangement of

geometric shapes and forms creates

an exhilarating and thoroughly modern

residence that captivates the eye and

ignites the imagination.

16 17

Silver-toned cuboid balconies,

smoothly clad in aluminum,

project out from the 14-storey

building to heighten the

architectural rhythm.

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise

we harden.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Experience the new modernism in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic

cities. Where spacious suites with expansive windows reflect the joys of city life.

Where fluid living spaces open up onto a staggered layering of balconies. Where

open concept designs and intelligent use of space extract more enjoyment out

of every square foot. Where Tridel’s unparalleled commitment to quality and

impeccable attention to detail permeates every aspect of your new home. Where

vitality is victorious and urban life is lived to its fullest.

Convenience without the concrete.

Set amidst a backdrop of historic buildings and tree-lined

parks, SQ is in the heart of all the key areas in the city.

The business and commerce of the Financial District,

Southcore Financial Centre, and Bay Street Corridor. The

academic pursuits of University of Toronto and ryerson,

and the creativity of OCAD U. The enjoyment of area

attractions and major sports and entertainment venues.

The luxury shopping and high-end dining of Yorkville.

The lifestyle charm of The Annex. The artistic appeal of

Liberty Village. And the scenic beauty of Lake Ontario,

Harbourfront, and the water’s edge promenade.

Simply step outside the lobby of SQ and be surrounded

by a multicultural array of barista-brewing cafés, lively

patios, and incredible bistros. Stroll along Queen West,

Toronto’s Fashion District, with its showcase of hot and

happening must-haves for the fashion-hungry. Drop into

live music venues any night of the week to hear everything

from rock to jazz. If convenient living had a scale, it would

be over the top at SQ.
