BIG King Toronto Condos, developed by Westbank Corp and Allied Properties REIT, is a groundbreaking residential project at 489-539 King Street West in Toronto’s lively King West neighborhood. This ambitious project, designed by the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), redefines Toronto’s architectural landscape by moving beyond traditional tower-and-podium designs to feature four “mountain-like” peaks, each formed through a unique “pixelated” modular pattern. Inspired by Moshe Safdie’s Habitat, it’s dubbed “Habitat 2.0,” marking a significant evolution in urban living.

At the heart of the development’s design is the integration of greenery and outdoor spaces, with private terraces for select units, ensuring that residents enjoy natural elements alongside city life. The structure itself blends seamlessly with King Street’s historic architecture, creating a balance between innovation and heritage. A community-focused courtyard will also anchor the project at street level, serving as a gathering space and enhancing connectivity within King West’s urban fabric.

This visionary project celebrates Toronto’s diversity by creating a uniquely vibrant, green, and socially connected urban environment that honors the past while embracing the future.
