In the heart of Toronto\u2019s financial district, directly adjacent to King Station on the TTC\u2019s Yonge subway line, 55 Yonge is a landmark 66-storey purpose-built apartment and office tower designed by collaborating architects PARTISANS and BDP Quadrangle for H&R REIT. The building will include nearly 500 new residential rental units, and state-of-the-art offices that will respond to Toronto\u2019s rapid growth while achieving a cohesive and contemporary high-rise design that makes a striking addition to Toronto\u2019s skyline. <\/p>\n

55 Yonge will feature purpose-built rental apartments, ranging from 450 sf one-bedrooms to multi-storey 2,000+ sf residences. The ten floors of office space are designed for the contemporary worker in a post-Covid world, supported by efficient layouts and a hospitality-driven environment at the street level. Both office and residential tenants will be able to access wellness amenities between the residential and office levels, including a spacious open-air terrace, a pool, a fully equipped gym and health-oriented programming, as well as boardrooms, informal meeting areas and services to support the offices below.<\/p>\n

The facade of 55 Yonge marries the podium and tower into a single sinuous gesture, by treating the facade as a fabric \u2014 a delicate lace that drapes over the structure. The pattern of the exterior panels is designed to adapt and modulate solar gain, by shifting the pattern depending on its location on the building. At its crown, the tower culminates in a series of stepped terraces offering spectacular views, which have been sculpted to minimize shadow impacts on the grounds of a nearby landmark place of worship, The Cathedral Church of St. James. <\/p>\n

The building\u2019s facade gracefully touches the ground-level on 26- foot-tall, tapered columns, that frame large expanses of glass, allowing the street to extend into the grand lobby for the retail, residential and office tenants as well as visitors and passers-by. The transparency of the two-level lobby creates a welcoming leisure space for the public as well as an unconfined aesthetic at street level. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2466,"template":"","project_type":[19],"project_location":[5],"class_list":["post-1203","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-mixed-use-residential-office-and-retail","project_location-toronto"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n55 Yonge Tower | PARTISANS Architecture<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PARTISANS' 66-storey mixed-use tower at King Station brings 500 rental apartments, contemporary offices, and a sculptural lace facade to Toronto's skyline.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"55 Yonge Tower | PARTISANS Architecture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PARTISANS' 66-storey mixed-use tower at King Station brings 500 rental apartments, contemporary offices, and a sculptural lace facade to Toronto's skyline.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PARTISANS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-27T21:18:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Aerial-55Yonge-HERO-scaled-e1737567285849.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1484\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2144\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/\",\"name\":\"55 Yonge Tower | PARTISANS Architecture\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Aerial-55Yonge-HERO-scaled-e1737567285849.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-04-05T10:40:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-27T21:18:13+00:00\",\"description\":\"PARTISANS' 66-storey mixed-use tower at King Station brings 500 rental apartments, contemporary offices, and a sculptural lace facade to Toronto's skyline.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/55-yonge\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Aerial-55Yonge-HERO-scaled-e1737567285849.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Aerial-55Yonge-HERO-scaled-e1737567285849.jpg\",\"width\":1484,\"height\":2144,\"caption\":\"55 Yonge rises above downtown Toronto, its signature hourglass silhouette and deep-relief gridded facade radiating warm amber light against the twilight sky.
