Neudorfer Corporation's development of 980 Lansdowne is a sizeable undertaking comprised of six buildings; 29 and 36-storey rental towers above a shared seven-storey podium, a standalone 12-storey residential building, two 4-storey stacked townhouse buildings, and a single-storey daycare facility. Currently, the conjoined towers are under construction, with the 36-storey tower standing 17-storeys tall, and the 29-storey tower recently rising one level above the shared podium.
As forming work progresses and the Gabriel Bodor Architects-designed towers grow taller, at the base of the tallest tower, cladding has begun to be installed. The cladding is a window wall system with burnt orange and cream coloured spandrel panels framed by high-contrast black mullions, making individual panels stand out.
Spandrel panels vary in size, keyed to the width of the modified tripartite Chicago-style window arrangements with two narrow operable windows flanking a larger fixed centre glass panel. (True, unmodified Chicago-style windows use sash windows for the outside panels.)
As work on the towers continues, the site is being prepared for the other four buildings that are to come. As the unit mix of the overall development heavily favours one bedroom units – with 700 of them on the way – this will be balanced out with 208 three-bedroom units, most of which will located in the upcoming townhouse portion of the project. Five studio and 162 two-bedroom apartments will make up the remainder of the 1,075-unit development.
More information on the development will come soon, but in the meantime, you can learn more from our Database file for the project, linked below. If you'd like, you can join in on the conversation in the associated Project Forum thread, or leave a comment in the space provided on this page.
