The 78-storey megatower, nearing com- pletion on the northwest corner of Yonge and Gerrard Sts., has fast become one of Toronto most recognizable landmarks. “You notice it from the 401and Dufferin, or coming down the DVP,” notes Barry Graziani, the architect whose firm Grazia- ni & Corraza designed Aura, Canada’s tall- est residential building. “It reorients you — there’s the financial district and then there’s Aura farther north. It’s expanding our sense of the city and the downtown core.” Visible from across the GTA, the building also proudly signals that the once-gloomy stretch of Yonge between Gerrard and College Sts. has suddenly become a big deal. Indeed, Aura, developed by Canderel Residential, has helped spur a transforma- tion of the area, a historic part of the city that had fallen into disrepair over the years. Before the arrival of Canderel in the early 2000s — and its construction of the two- tower Residences of College Park devel- opment on Bay St., followed several years later by Aura — the block bound by Yonge, College, Gerrard and Bay Sts. mostly con- sisted of a bland office complex backing onto forlorn Barbara Ann Scott skating rink park, itself stranded between two sur- face parking lots. “It was pretty dreary,” recalls Riz Dhanji, vice-president of sales and marketing for Canderel. “There wasn’t much retail and BERNARD WEIL/TORONTO STAR there wasn’t much happening.
