High-Rise Development at Finch Avenue
Project Overview
Located along Finch Avenue in Pickering, Ontario, this development is a contemporary mixed-use residential tower designed to enhance the urban corridor with a refined architectural presence. The project integrates residential living with active street-level commerce, supported by structured parking and elevated amenity spaces to create a balanced, future-ready urban environment. Key Features Residential Residences The upper levels of the tower are dedicated to modern residential units, offering generous layouts and expansive, curved balconies. Continuous horizontal balcony bands with glass railings provide residents with private outdoor spaces, abundant natural light, and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Retail & Commercial Frontage The ground floor accommodates commercial retail spaces positioned directly along Finch Avenue. Large, transparent storefront glazing enhances visibility, activates the streetscape, and encourages pedestrian interaction, creating a vibrant and engaging public realm. Integrated Parking Solutions The second and third floors are designed as structured parking levels, efficiently concealed within the podium. Additional surface parking is provided at the rear of the site, ensuring functional access while minimizing visual impact on the primary street frontage. Elevated Terrace & Amenity Level The fourth floor features a landscaped terrace and amenity zone, acting as a transitional layer between the podium and the residential tower above. This level offers shared outdoor spaces, greenery, and areas for relaxation, enhancing resident well-being while softening the building’s overall mass. Architectural Design The tower showcases a bold contemporary form defined by fluid curves and layered horizontal elements. Warm-toned façade materials are contrasted with dark framing and extensive glazing, giving the building a dynamic yet elegant identity. The articulated massing reduces visual bulk and creates a distinctive silhouette within the Pickering skyline. Urban Integration & Impact By combining high-density residential living with active commercial uses at street level, the Finch Avenue project promotes walkability and urban vitality. The thoughtful layering of functions — retail, parking, amenities, and residences — ensures both functionality and architectural clarity. This development contributes to the ongoing evolution of Pickering’s urban fabric, offering a modern residential lifestyle while strengthening the public realm and supporting local commercial activity.
