The Well

General Info

About the Project

Project Description

The Well—as in “living well”—aims to shape a synergistic neighborhood, where the residential, commercial and retail urban experience is one. Occupying 7.5 acres, bordered by Spadina Avenue, Front, Draper, and Wellington Streets, the project injects a dynamic mix that is close to 1.5M SF of commercial /retail, and 1.5M SF of residential, including both rental and market condominiums. All totaled, the development will add 7 buildings and preserve the character of the neighbourhood including the historic cottages of Draper Street. A new 36-storey office building at the intersection of Front and Spadina will act as a gateway into the new neighbourhood. A significant linear park will be created along Wellington Street connecting to Victoria Memorial Park to the west and Clarence Square to the east.
