World Trade Centre, Postmodern skyscraper complex in Harbourfront, Canada
The World Trade Centre Toronto consists of two residential towers at the waterfront, with the main building rising 38 floors above street level and containing hundreds of apartments. The complex features underground levels and shares its location with commercial spaces that front the downtown core.
Construction of this complex began in the late 1980s and finished in 1990, representing an early step in transforming the waterfront into a residential neighborhood. The project helped shift downtown living from older low-rise buildings toward modern high-rise residential development.
The complex incorporates contemporary Canadian architectural elements while providing living spaces for 700 residential units in downtown Toronto.
The location sits next to major transit stops and offers direct access to shops, restaurants, and other downtown services nearby. Visitors can explore the public waterfront area and enjoy good connections to other parts of the city center.
The complex includes five levels below ground that house parking, storage, and shared facilities for residents that extend far beneath the street. This extensive underground structure is larger than what most other downtown residential buildings provide.
