Groundbreaking Held for T3 Sterling Road Office Complex

Groundbreaking held for T3 Sterling Road Office Complex2

Developer Hines has started construction for the first building in their T3 Sterling Road mass timber-framed office complex in Toronto's Junction Triangle neighborhood. The development was designed by Chicago's DLR Group along with WZMH Architects. They had their groundbreaking at the project site a block south of Bloor Street West near Lansdowne Avenue.

Urban Toronto reports that T3 Sterling Road is the second Toronto addition to Hines' global portfolio of mass timber developments under the T3 banner. This project follows the recently started T3 Bayside, which will soon rise above grade in the city's East Bayfront area. 

 

"Hines' strategy has always been to invest in and deliver best-in-class, amenity-forward office spaces in key neighborhoods, including right here in the trendy and vibrant Junction Triangle of Toronto. We're proud to be bringing the T3 model to Toronto for a second time. It's a concept that has a proven track record worldwide in helping our tenants attract and retain talent."

Senior Managing Director for Hines | Syl Apps III

 

Hines also began construction on the CIBC Square North Tower this year. Hines' trio of current projects represent 2 million ft2 of new office space for Toronto. 

 

"The official start of construction at T3 Sterling Road is an important milestone for the vibrant Junction Triangle, a growing neighborhood that is one of the most highly connected in our city. The new mass timber project will sustainably contribute to the growth of this area not only through new employment and retail, but through much-needed improvements to the public realm. This incudes new parks and improved roadways that will make connectivity safer and more accessible for all."

Toronto Deputy Mayor | Ana Bailao

 

The Sterling Road complex will eventually consist of three buildings with a combined 415,000 ft2 of space, designed with health, safety, and wellness. Partnerships with The Well Living Lab, Delos, and the Mayo Clinic will allow for advanced technologies that reduce the risk of respiratory virus transmission throughout the workplace. The project will also be LEED and WELL certified and will have an open green space and park co-programmed with the adjacent Museum of Contemporary Art.

Hines.com states that this project will feature creative office space and target tenants in knowledge industries such as technology, advertising, media and professional services with high quality independent retail on the ground floors.

The common tenant amenities will include the following:

 

 - Social workspaces

 - Tenant collaboration areas

 - Rooftop terraces

 - Private balconies on each floor

 - Floor-to-ceiling warehouse windows to maximize natural light

 - Club-quality fitness centre

 - Bike storage

 - End-of-trip facilities

 

T3 Sterling Road has combined timber, transit and technology and created a workplace that is healthy for the planet. The development is also within walking distance to two key TTC Bloor subway line stops, three streetcar routes, a GO Train stop, the UP Express, the West Toronto Railpath and the new Bloor-Landsdowne SmartTrack Station.
