Angela GismondiTHE DOWNING STREET GROUP/THE SHER CORPORATION — The new Parliament & Co. mixed-use development in Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood is located at Parliament and Queen streets. The developers are The Downing Street Group and The Sher Corporation; the construction manager is Grove Project Management Inc; the architects and interior designers are Kohn Partnership Architects Inc.
“You see a lot of beautiful buildings, especially in Toronto in the garment district,” said Katie Kuzan, senior associate and one of the project leads at Kohn Partnership Architects. “A lot of tailors were in those warehouse buildings and then those slowly were converted over time into offices for creative professionals.
“This is definitely a unique mixed-use in the sense that mixed-use is usually residential units with some retail at the bottom,” said Kuzan. “This is definitely more of a layer cake approach. We’ve got retail on the bottom and then level two to five are a variety of different offices.” “As the years went by, the building has evolved to suit the market,” said Kuzan. “What we saw in 2021 was the integration of live-work units which I think was a direct response to we’re seeing a lot of hybrid work.
