2 Tecumseth Street

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

The site formerly housed a decommissioned abattoir, and is directly adjacent to the historic Wellington Destructor, a century-old garbage incinerator. Its topography is defined by the now-buried Garrison Creek.

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. The project will transform the former abattoir complex into a sustainable and vibrant new community and destination in Toronto’s downtown west. 

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 and nurturing a diverse and inclusive community.

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.
  • More than 2,200 new homes to be delivered as a mix of condominiums and purpose-built rental apartments.  
  • 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 2,200 new homes to the heart of Mississauga.

  • 5.3 acre site adjacent to a transit hub that includes the Cooksville GO station, the future Hurontario LRT and the MiWay rapid bus line 
  • 2,200 new homes including a mix of condominiums and purpose-built rental apartments 
  • 49% of the site will be public realm with a community gathering space as its focal point 
  • Over 90% of the building perimeter at ground level is animated by positive frontages 

385 The West Mall

This project presents an opportunity to re-imagine how purpose-built rental, for-sale condominiums, and community-focused commercial space can all be integrated on one large suburban site. Our local research and engagement process revealed a need for increased health and social services as well as senior’s housing in this part of Etobicoke, which has been expanding rapidly over the past decade. We believe that thoughtfully curated not-for-profit and commercial partnerships will help address these gaps and ensure the project functions as a community hub that serves its local neighbourhood.

A wellness focus has also inspired the project design, which emphasizes social connections and the great outdoors through: generous public realm improvements featuring an extensively landscaped raised courtyard; a public conservatory; and expansive rooftop amenities.

The Campbell

The Campbell is a 14-storey purpose-built rental building in Toronto’s Junction Triangle, developed through a partnership between TAS and BentallGreenOak (BGO).

A series of community consultations held in 2017 shaped our vision and plans for this project. Related learnings inspired the design that includes multigenerational living for families of all types and sizes, with building amenities that encourage social interaction in creative, playful and inviting common spaces.

We are tremendously proud to be creating a new 10,000 sq ft Toronto Public Library branch on the ground floor that will serve and add value to the neighbourhood. This is the first time a new library branch has been incorporated into a ground-up development in Toronto.

The building’s design and amenities support a high standard of urban living – spacious bedrooms, built-in window shades, keyless suite entry, and smart thermostats. Common spaces extend these comforts with a rooftop urban agriculture garden, fitness and yoga studio, games room, and community workshop. The lobby café offers locally sourced coffee to residents and visitors.

Health and sustainability are prioritized at The Campbell, with expansive stairwells, murals and skylights, ample bike parking, water refill stations, and BentallGreenOak’s ForeverGreen tenant engagement sustainability program, earning the project a Fitwel 2 Star Rating.
