Don't know if this one slipped under the radar, but the office now for lease (or has been for a little bit) and has an estimated completion date of Q1 2025... (subject to change of course, as I'm not sure where the heck this fits in the current road alignment and no permits are applied for yet). Good start on the retail here, a nice handsome overall build (and what will eventually be infill).

Some new renders and diagrams from the leasing brochure: https://www.avisonyoung.ca/properties?propertyId=300-Queens-Quay-East-Toronto-For-Lease

Edit: The documents suggest it getting a little cul-de-sac in the meantime until the road is built, gonna be quite odd.

Why would they need a private shuttle from union? Won't there be a streetcar running right by their front door?
 

Several layers and levels create the flagship office building at Toronto’s ‘The Bend’​


July 14, 2021

300 Queens Quay East at The Bend is a flagship office building being developed by 3C Lakeshore Inc., a partnership between Toronto city builders Castlepoint Numa, Cityzen Development Group and New York-based Continental Ventures. The project is designed by Adamson Associates Architects.

“The unique feature of this building is that it has seven outdoor terraces at seven different levels on an 11-storey building,” said Alfredo Romano, president at Castlepoint Numa and partner at 3C Lakeshore Inc., adding it also includes a green roof, a feature green wall and a rooftop amenity deck.

The design for the building began prior to COVID-19 but incorporated health and safety trends that became even more important during the pandemic.

“The workspace environment was already headed in that direction focusing on mental and physical health, safety and the best working conditions possible,” said Romano. “I think what the pandemic has done is accelerated a trend that was already started. We had already planned this building for flexible workspace even early on and now we are just slightly modifying it making it even more flexible.”

Avison Young was recently named the exclusive office leasing agent for the development.

“We’re talking to a number of tenants in a variety of sectors whether it’s tech, media, entertainment, financial services,” said Joe Almeida, Avison Young’s managing director and principal, Toronto. “They are all starting to look at the need for high performance buildings, buildings that offer things like natural light, a number of terraces, live-work-play type environments to help them with attracting and retaining the employees…both coming out of COVID and for the future.”

--------
The name The Bend reflects the fact that “Queens Quay is a straight shot and then just as it starts to bend to the south east is where our development starts,” Romano noted. An important feature of the site is a 9,000 square foot public plaza.

“Sixty per cent of the site is publicly accessible,” Romano said. “It’s a remarkable achievement from our point of view and speaks to the heart of what The Bend is all about. It’s about publicness, pedestrians and an environment at the ground plane where people can just hang out.”

Preparing for the future

The team is currently in the draft plan of the subdivision process and hopes to complete it by the fourth quarter of this year. The office building is expected to be ready by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
