Consisting of 349 units within two angular, matte black buildings connected by a four storey bridge, the award-winning first phase of River City kicked off Urban Capital's four phase River City development in 2009.  The two buildings, a 16 storey building along King Street and a six storey building along Lower River Street are connected by a four storey bridge.  With its torqued forms and black aluminum cladding, this tower makes a radical break from the Toronto condo-tower formula, yet it responds thoughtfully to its site.

The building’s shape marks the unusual geometry of the intersection where King and Queen Streets meet, and its highest element becomes a landmark on the edge of downtown
