30 Scollard Street is a mixed-use skyscraper located in Toronto’s Yorkville district. Innate project constraints, including a compact and irregular site, an adjacent underutilized laneway, and stringent setback requirements above the podium, are leveraged as design drivers, resulting in a slim-profile tower with a distinctive diagrid structural façade that dually unifies the podium and tower while enabling nearly column-free interiors.

The 52-story building is organized into two distinct volumes, a ten-story podium that houses a double-height lobby, restaurant, cafe, offices, and amenities, and a slender tower above with 15-by-26-meter floorplates that efficiently host 118 hotel keys and a penthouse. A formerly overlooked laneway and corridor linking Scollard Street and Davenport Road are transformed into a lively public promenade and plaza with seating, bike parking, landscaping, and curated art, extending Yorkville’s pedestrian network.

A formerly overlooked laneway is reimagined as a public promenade animated by seating, lush planting, and curated public art—extending Yorkville’s distinctive network of pedestrian passages and intimate green spaces. The podium’s angled cut creates a sheltered colonnade that enhances the character and comfort of the alleyway. Below grade, an automated parking system efficiently provides capacity for 85 vehicles and 97 bicycles, along with dedicated storage, mechanical, electrical, and back-of-house service areas.

At the ground level, a ten-story podium incorporates a double-height base that organizes three distinct lobbies for residential, hotel, and restaurant access, ensuring clear and efficient circulation.

The ten-story podium accommodates a double-height lobby, retail spaces, offices, residential units, and a suite of resident amenities. Above, the slender tower rises for an additional 52 stories, offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes that culminate in a multi-level penthouse.

Approximately half of the building is dedicated to 4-star branded hotel rooms and suites, totaling 118 keys. Guests arrive through a grand double-height lobby finished in bronze and marble, with valet service provided and additional parking accommodated in a designated off-site garage.
