On the northwest corner of Bloor and Huron Streets in Downtown Toronto, the Bloor Street United Church, first constructed in 1886, is soon to be integrated into a high-rise redevelopment of the site. Collecdev's Cielo Condos will rise 29 storeys above the church, bringing 284 units of high-rise density to the Annex neighbourhood.

The complex, designed by KPMB Architects with heritage specialists ERA Architects handling the restorative aspects of the project to handsomely incorporate the church, won a number of major awards at the Nationals 2022 New Home Sales and Marketing Awards, recently held in Orlando, Florida.
