Located at James Street North and Barton, the proposed development is a 12-storey mixed-use building. The ground floor is designed for commercial use, while the remaining floors will consist of 136 residential units.

In keeping with the surrounding streetscape, the building footprint has been maximized on the site, resulting in little setback at lower podium level. The additional 8-storey podium transition has a setback on the west side from the front and cantilevered design to minimize shadows and respect the surrounding neighbours to the West.

The building will be designed to respect the vertical articulation and horizontal expression of the neighbourhood, with the podium in-keeping with the scale of the street, and the design reflecting new infill development within the rhythm of the streetscape.

These goals are proposed to be achieved through the use of modern materials so James and Barton adds a modern yet historical expression to the neighbourhood, while also respecting the characteristics of the built heritage on James Street North. Contextually, the design reflects the eclectic character of the neighbourhood while also adding dialogue. With a tripartite facade, the building will have a visually appealing element from the streetscape.

The podium will be composed of a traditional brick facade, with corbeled columns for texture, and sash windows, vertically book-ended with stone accents. The upper 8-storey volume is stepped and setback from the podium to minimize impact at neighbourhood level and will be clad with glazing, mullions, horizontal and vertical concrete bands, and balconies all tied together with a continuous glass curtain wall and materials that connect both volumes in the same design language.

Completion date is expected for 2026.
