The Golden Mile is a largely industrial strip of Toronto’s Eglinton Ave West; with high-order transit currently in the works, the site is ripe for development.

After an examination of the site’s uniquely active urban rail spur and extensive industrial past, we eschewed normative densification for a new type of urban manufacturing made possible by our (super)Lot.

The (super)Lot condenses storage and multi-modal transportation into a sunken basin that supplies adjacent vertical manufacturers with raw materials and distribution. The (super)Lot centralizes services that are otherwise extremely low-density (warehousing and storage), enabling large scale urban manufacturing to co-exist alongside typical mixed-use development.
