If you own Station Street, as Allied Properties REIT does, and also own the data centre, and the SkyWalk beside it which the PATH system runs through—connecting the site to Union Station and the larger PATH network to the north with attractions like the Rogers Centre, CN Tower, and Ripley's Aquarium, plus Toronto's burgeoning South Core in the other direction—then you have prime real estate upon which to build an office tower even if the street frontages are atypical.

Partnered with Westbank Corp of Vancouver (with which Allied is currently building 19 Duncan and KING Toronto, plus another three projects in Western Canada), the joint venture developers have hired the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group to design a skyscraper that works on this atypical site.
