Q Tower is a new British-inspired condo project that will rise in Queens Quay West, which is part of Toronto’s central waterfront revitalization in the Harbourfront neighbourhood.
Led by developers Lifetime Developments and Diamondcorp, the design of the 60-storey residential tower comes from Canada-based Wallman Architects.
“The Toronto skyline, photographed from the lake with the CN Tower in the frame, is one of the most used visuals when describing our City and knowing that our tower will forever be positioned immediately next to the CN Tower really pushed us to come up with a sophisticated design, that we are extremely proud of,” said Rudy Wallman, principal of Wallman Architects.
U31 is leading the interior design, with a mix of “rebellious chic inspired by the British Monarchy and British design and fashion,” and ‘Bond-esque’ glamour.
The building will also feature the image of Queen Elizabeth II adorned with a big bubble as its artistic focal point. This comes by way of artist and photographer Michael Moebius who is known for his hyper-realistic illustrative portraits featuring celebrities blowing large bubblegum bubbles. This will be his first North American partnership.
“Q Tower is more than just a residential project; it represents a lifestyle promise that will exceed purchasers’ expectations and allow them to discover an elevated yet attainable standard of living,” said Stephen Diamond, CEO of DiamondCorp.” The central downtown location in the Harbourfront neighbourhood, offers the very best of Toronto living – from being immersed in the energy and excitement of the bustling city to unmatched views of the calming waters of Lake Ontario.”
