Co-developers Westbank Corp and Allied Properties REIT have submitted their reworked proposal for a residential and retail development for properties on the south side of King Street West between Spadina Avenue and Portland Streets in one of Toronto's mostly quickly transforming areas. Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group, the development is arranged as if it were a mountain range with four peaks, with a courtyard acting as a central valley.

First proposed in February 2016, the proposal received feedback from the public, Toronto's Planning Department, and the city's Design Review Panel over the course of 15 months. In May of this year, the developers revealed revised "2.0" concept plans to the public and planning staff at a public meeting. Now 5 months later, the 2.0 concept has been refined, and the new plans have been submitted to the City's Planning Department for review.
