St. Lawrence Market

VÜ Condominiums is in the heart of Old Town Toronto overlooking the Gothic-inspired St. James Cathedral/Park and the St. Lawrence Market. The award-winning and LEED designated design by Harari Pontarini Architects is a fusion of modern and traditional elements, resulting in a clean contemporary look that stands apart from the ordinary. Cecconi & Simone incorporated contemporary and sleek finishes in the interior design. Completed in 2010 by Aspen Ridge, it is just a short walk to historic Front Street, the Design, Financial & Entertainment Districts, the Distillery, Eaton Centre and Lakefront. The VÜ has a Walk Score of 100/100, Transit Score of 100/100 and Bike Score of 98/100.

VÜ Condominiums are made up of three distinct sections which comprise two condominium corporations. A limestone and brick 8-story podium structure connects the two VÜ towers and complements the surrounding historic buildings of the area. The South Tower, 112 George Street, faces Toronto’s breath-taking city skyline and provides residents with spectacular views! The North Condominium Corporation at 116 George Street is a 15-story tower located at the corner of Richmond and George Streets. The mid-block connecting walkway leads to an array of indoor and outdoor amenities.

Province of Ontario - Bill 173 2002

St. James' Cathedral Sightlines Protection Act, 2002

St. James' Cathedral sits on land set aside for a church in 1797, four years after the Town of York was founded. Between 1803 and 1807, the first church in the Town of York was built on this site.

In 1820, a Crown patent was issued for the land on which St. James' Cathedral now sits, with the patent stating that the land is, "upon trust to and for the sole use and benefit of the parishioners and inhabitants of the said Town of York, forever as a Churchyard and Burying Ground for the inhabitants of the said Town of York and as appurtenant to the church there build thereon".

The current cathedral was opened in 1849. The copper spire of St. James' Cathedral is 93 metres tall and is the tallest church spire in Canada and the second tallest in North America. This delicately designed spire once served as a navigational aid for ships on Lake Ontario.

In 1958, the City of Toronto expanded St. James' original site by clearing the neighbouring area to create St. James' Park. The buildings within the precinct surrounding the Cathedral are generally of a low scale, maintaining the sightlines of this significant historic site.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Issuing permits prohibited

The City of Toronto shall not issue a building permit for the construction of any building within, bordering or in proximity to the precinct surrounding St. James' Cathedral for any building whose height would block or would seriously interfere with the sightlines of the Cathedral.

Conflicts

If there is a conflict between this Act and any legislation or by-law affected by this Act, this Act prevails.

Definition

In this Act,"precinct" means the area in the City of Toronto bounded by King St. East, Adelaide Street, Church Street and Jarvis Street.
