Embracing an urban courtyard oasis
3385 Lawrence Avenue East brings 155 modern, sustainably designed one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes to a thriving community in central Scarborough. Thoughtfully planned to integrate with the existing neighbourhood, the building will transition from 11 storeys facing north on Lawrence Avenue to six storeys towards the south.
The development features a new lushly landscaped courtyard shared between the site’s new and retained buildings, designed to foster community and outdoor gathering.
Ground-level multi-purpose spaces include a kids’ indoor play area, gym, lounge space, co-working area and multi-purpose space for fitness, community events, and other programming. Residents also have access to convenient bike storage and repair and a dog walking area, along with an indoor pet-grooming station.
3385 Lawrence is designed for the 2050 climate to provide residents with a climate-safe, comfortable, and resilient homes that won’t contribute to their carbon footprint.
