Construction at The Spoke is all but complete, with the project reaching a major occupancy milestone as its first residents began moved in this May. Located in Toronto’s Junction Triangle, the purpose-built rental community by Tricon Living brings 398 new rental homes to one of the city’s most vibrant west-end neighbourhoods. Rising 8 and 23 storeys on the west side of Symington Avenue, just north of Dupont Street, The Spoke brings together Tricon’s model of design excellence, signature amenities, elevated services, and resident-focused community programming. Designed by TACT Architecture with Graziani + Corazza Architects as Architect of Record, the development marks a significant addition to the area’s growing rental supply.

The Junction Triangle has undergone a notable transition from its industrial roots into a mixed-use urban district. The site offers convenient access to nearby West End neighbourhoods including Wallace-Emerson, Geary Avenue, Corso Italia, and Bloordale Village, while the West Toronto Railpath runs close by. Together with nearby transit connections and a growing concentration of independent cafés, breweries, creative studios, and local businesses, the location places residents within a well-connected and increasingly active urban environment.

Comprising mid- and high-rise volumes, The Spoke introduces a both ground-hugging and contemporary skyline living to the area. The complex's form and material expression draw on the area’s industrial past, while presenting a distinctly modern residential profile along Symington Avenue. Landscape design by Site/C Landscape Architecture Inc. features a series of terraces, pathways, and planted edges through the site, softening the massing and creating visual and physical connections from the project to the surrounding streets and the broader neighbourhood.

A substantial amenity program supports daily life at The Spoke, with more than 26,000 ft² of shared indoor and outdoor spaces. Indoor amenities include Club Apex, a commercial-grade fitness centre paired with a dedicated studio for yoga and spin bikes, along with co-working lounges, entertainment spaces, a theatre, family-oriented rooms, wellness facilities featuring a sauna and cold plunge in the Cove Spa, and pet-focused amenities.

Interior amenity spaces, designed by Johnson Chou Inc., will draw on the area’s industrial roots while incorporating a warm 1970s-inspired palette. Exposed concrete and hot-rolled metal screens are balanced with walnut wood, textured finishes, and earthy tones throughout the common areas. The entrance is defined by a sunken lounge with a glazed fireplace and a circular sofa. Custom elements include a spoke-inspired ceiling sculpture and a commissioned wall piece by Toronto artist Adrian Forrow.

A sports lounge with a pool table and vintage arcade games provides a more informal gathering space, along with The Node, providing a co-working lounge. The 23rd-floor Sanctuary features tiered green carpeted seating with views over the Toronto skyline. Custom lighting details, locally made furniture, and works by Toronto artists complete the interiors.

Outdoors, residents will have access to landscaped terraces, social gathering areas, and Tricon’s signature pool, The Cove.

The residential component comprises 398 rental homes, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites. Select plans feature dens, garden walkouts, and flexible living areas. Interiors are finished with Trevisana kitchens, kitchen islands, stainless steel appliances (including wine fridges), in-suite laundry, and smart-home features such as keyless entry and programmable thermostats, with the option for furnished suites.
