Mirvish + Gehry Condos – When Two Giants Collide
Mirvish+Gehry Condos at King street west will launch a new chapter in the city’s historic art scene. The constantly evolving designs consist of two 6-storey podiums, which give way to two iconic residential towers, ranging in size from 82 to 92 storeys.
The two giant towers proposed at King street West are fitting for the two giant personalities behind this project. Many Torontonians and Canadians alike will instantly recognize the name Ed Mirvish, the man who was the force behind Honest Ed’s retail store and the man who may have single-handedly revitalized the King Street West district by building theaters, restaurants and other entertainment venues along this corridor. Ed was also behind the incredibly successful Princess of Wales theatre as well as the famous Ed Mirvish Theatre at Yonge Dundas Square.
Joining the Mirvish family in this behemoth of a project is none other than Canadian born architect Frank Gehry, the iconic architect behind the redesign of the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario), the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the world renewed Guggenheim Museum in Spain. Frank Gehry’s style and influence is out of the box and constantly reinventing itself.
