Whitby’s Station No. 3 development honours elements of former firehall - Daily Commercial News

A former firehall in downtown Whitby, Ont. is being transformed into a mixed-use development. Station No. 3, named to commemorate the former Firehall No. 3 that was on the site and served the town from 1964 to 2010, is located at the intersection of Broc

The project team formally broke ground in February and now has a full building permit in hand which allows them to advance the vertical construction, said Orise Afam, project manager at Brookfield. The team anticipates the development to be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

With the development being in Whitby’s historic downtown core, the team was mindful of the existing design elements in the surrounding area.

“This influenced how we approached the building design and material selection,” said Kevin Persaud, development manager at Brookfield, in the email.

“Our goal was to find a balance between bringing a new refreshing development to the downtown while respecting the historic context. The facade is mainly masonry brick veneer and window wall from the ground to the fourth level, then metal panel and window wall from level five to six. The ground floor along Brock Street will include storefront curtain wall.”

The development will also include unique features to commemorate the historic uses on the site over the years.

“The building will be reusing some of the brick from one of the demolished buildings to create an accent wall in the condominium’s lobby,” Persaud said. “Three commemorative plaques will also be installed along the Brock Street facade speaking to the history, significance and transition of uses from different time periods dating back to the 1850s.”
