Market Wharf : A two-phase project due to economic conditions in Toronto , Market Wharf was key to the development of an underutilized but stunning area facing the city ’ s waterfront . Constructing this building is like building three separate buildings ( including a 35-story tower ), a six-floor podium , and four levels of masonry construction with two levels of two floor glass townhouse type suites perched on top . All of the building ’ s parking is above ground , which is unique for a downtown Toronto high-rise , though blends beautifully into the area ’ s historic St . Lawrence Market neighborhood .
