10 North Queen Street

This large industrial warehouse is strategically positioned at the very centre of an emerging cluster of commercial activity currently burgeoning in Etobicoke Lakeshore, just south of the Kipling GO and TTC stations. 

We see tremendous opportunity to contribute to the evolution of this area through the introduction of a lively hub that connects local people and ideas. We plan to demise the existing building into smaller units, and to mix light industrial uses with office, production and maker spaces. And there’s great outdoor space that partnering groups could activate for community uses and events.  

If you have a suggestion, great partnership idea, question or just want to get involved – we want to hear from you!

This project is part of TAS’s Community Hub Strategy, which sees us lead the adaptive re-use, lease-up and operations of underutilized warehouse spaces across the GTHA.   

We are transforming these existing assets into dynamic hubs that include a variety of commercial uses. They are designed to nurture a vibrant mix of tenants from across different sectors, including small businesses and social enterprises. 

We are proud to be taking a sustainability-first approach. Retrofitting is inherently more green than demolishing and building new. We are further reducing the carbon footprint of these existing buildings by improving the energy efficiency.

2 Tecumseth Street

Located in the heart of Toronto’s arts and entertainment corridor, 2 Tecumseth is an incredible new community that attempts to embrace the complexities and contradictions that make neighbourhoods great.  

The project is one of the last major revitalization opportunities in the downtown core. Its topography is defined by the now buried Garrison Creek. It currently houses a decommissioned abattoir, and is directly adjacent to the historic Wellington Destructor, a century old garbage incinerator. Inspired by this rich context, the architecture and landscape design will embrace Toronto’s ecological, urban and industrial histories while adding a contemporary layer that will give the site new meaning and purpose. 

Its vision and design were informed by the findings of a comprehensive multi-year community engagement process and an unwavering commitment to drive social and environmental impact through mixed-use real estate development. 

We plan to mix and optimize uses to create a wonderfully real place where people from many walks of life can live, work and play – together. The lively and iconic destination will be a place where residents and visitors of all ages can co-create a new kind of urban experience. 

Our impact objectives are focused on: prioritizing nature and environmental sustainability; nurturing a diverse and inclusive community; bolstering creative industry.

In November 2021, the City of Toronto and CreateTO announced that TAS was approved as the long-term head lessee of the Wellington Destructor, following a competitive RFP process. 

We plan to restore and transform this former symbol of civic progress into an active community hub and destination. We are currently finalizing our plans and negotiating lease terms with the City and look forward to sharing more in 2023.

56 York Boulevard

56 York Boulevard is a beloved local landmark.  

Built in 1856, it housed Coppley Apparel, a high-end suit and jacket production company for nearly 140 years and played a key role in Hamilton’s textile trade. 

Located downtown at the corner of York Boulevard and MacNab Street North, right across from established community hubs like the Farmer’s Market and the Central Hamilton Public Library, the building has sat quiet, vacant and full of potential for several years.

We’re excited to restore its original character and transform it into a new kind of community hub that will include a lively mix of commercial uses and tenants. 

Imagine a café and offices alongside creative spaces and community-serving organizations – this project will buzz with activity, deliver positive social and environmental impact and help make Hamilton’s downtown core even more vibrant. 

We started engaging Hamiltonians in late 2021 – seeking input on our design and programming ideas. 

We are currently exploring a series of innovative approaches that will help ensure the project drives positive impact for people and the planet. Ideas include:  

  • Green and smart technologies  
  • Accessible design  
  • Offering subsidized below-market rents to some tenants 
  • Developing new models that will help some tenants build equity and participate in the value the project generates

This project is part of TAS’s Community Hub Strategy, which sees us lead the adaptive re-use, lease-up and operations of underutilized warehouse spaces across the GTHA.

Improving energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of existing buildings is significantly greener than demolition and new construction, and we’re proud to be taking a sustainability-first approach. 

In late 2021 and early 2022, we connected with over 20 Hamiltonians (representing 17 organizations) regarding TAS’s plans to re-imagine the building. Several themes emerged from these rich and interesting conversations:

  1. Heritage is important! People love this building and are keen to see it preserved and celebrated; it is a unique asset and a potential symbol of what Hamilton can be moving forward.
  2. Collaboration and connectedness are key, and should be maximized when considering the mix of tenants, partnerships, programming and uses.  In addition to office spaces, many people suggested informal gathering areas, flexible meeting rooms and event spaces that would be inclusive, accessible and affordable to a diverse range of users.
  3. Many different tenants and partners could call the space home, and suggestions spanned a wide spectrum: from co-located health and social service organizations to business, film, technology, and creative sector uses.
  4. For community-serving tenants, affordability, stability and the ability to access shared amenities or services were identified as desirable attributes.

We’ll keep updating this site with updates as the process and our plans evolve. So stay tuned, more to come!

772 Warden Avenue

We are super excited about this project for a few reasons. 

First off, its location as part of the Golden Mile, just a 10-minute walk from the future Eglinton LRT. We’re proud to take part in the innovative neighborhood and social capital-building initiatives that are being led in this area by a visionary network of cross-sectoral partners. 

Second, the opportunity to rethink the vision for this former industrial building, which has housed a wide variety of tenants and uses over time. We are exploring a few different thematic ideas which will ultimately inform our approach to design and tenanting. From a food-focus to a not-for-profit service hub, there are many possibilities and we look forward to working with local partners to understand what concept could best serve community needs – for today and tomorrow.

Connecting Cooksville

Located at the corner of Hillcrest and Hurontario in Mississauga, Connecting Cooksville is the only tri-mobility hub in the city with direct access to Regional Transit, Rapid Bus Service and the future Light Rail Transit. It is the ideal location for density and responsible growth. 

Cooksville is a network of long-time residents and newcomers alike seeking opportunity and generating possibility in thriving local businesses and shared cross-cultural pride. Our proposal contributes to the evolving story of Cooksville, creating places where people can live, work and connect together. 

Connecting Cooksville is an ambitious plan that will come to life over the next several years. It leverages smart density to deliver meaningful impact for the community.

Highlights of the proposed plan include: 

  • A generous and accessible public realm covering nearly half of the site, with a central community gathering space.
  • A new full-service community centre and public library to be delivered in partnership with the City of Mississauga, including the potential for an aquatics centre, gymnasium, multi-use meeting and gathering spaces, and a daycare. 
  • More than 2,200 new homes to be delivered as a mix of condominiums and purpose-built rental apartments, including 250-300 homes as part of an affordable home ownership program with Options for Homes.  
  • A commitment to sustainable building practices and human-scaled design, optimizing daylight and passive ventilation, and taking a ‘landscape-first’ approach that emphasizes biodiversity, resilience and well-being. 

TAS engaged thoughtfully with the local communities to ensure their needs and aspirations were integrated into the plan. Gathering input through interviews, focus groups, surveys and workshops, our goal was for the community to help shape the investment being made in their neighbourhood.  

We are proud to be a part of the Cooksville Community Hub Working Group – a group of local residents, community organizations and businesses interested in building connections and supporting people in the area. We enthusiastically lent our site to local community groups like Heart Comonos for their activations and events which create a diverse and dynamic community presence

This project is an example of how responsible growth and smart density can drive community benefits and meaningful impact for the community. It is a once in a generation opportunity to contribute to the cultural fabric and enduring prosperity of Cooksville, while bringing over 2000 new homes to the heart of Mississauga.

The Planet

Originally home to the Viceroy Rubber Company and various industrial uses, The Planet is now a place where ideas are built. The spectacular four storey brick and beam building has been thoughtfully repurposed to preserve its original character and house a lively mix of commercial, cultural and community-serving tenants including Spaces, Freshbooks, Flow Water, F45 Fitness, the Inuit Art Foundation – and more.

The Junction neighborhood is named for the rail tracks that intersect therein – and The Planet is right at the heart of this convergence of energy, ideas and community. Nestled between the West Toronto Rail Path and residential Edwin Avenue, the project is uniquely positioned to serve and engage local residents and visitors alike. To help kick-start activity on-site, TAS hosted a series of community events including farmer’s markets, maker markets and movie nights for local neighbours in 2018 and 2019.
