Streetcar Development's first phase of its Corktown District condominium project is nearing completion on King Street East west of the Don River. The project is different from most new developments in the city in that its buildings are not on the same property, but are scattered about the Corktown district... hence the name. While other buildings divide one building from the next, the various component buildings are within view of each other. Quadrangle Architects has designed them all as siblings with a family resemblance.
The most complete of the buildings is 52 Sumach, here shot from King Street:
