1155 Thurlow Street (Central Presbyterian Church) | 62.79m | 22s | Bosa | Henriquez Partners

[City Of Rain]

New condo and church at Thurlow and Pendrell streets

When construction is completed two years from now, a 22-storey multi-use building will occupy the site. Central will move into a three-storey podium along with a daycare, various community facilities and commercial retail space. Above the podium will be a tower containing 168 market rental units.

Bosa will use the revenues from these units to fund 42 social-housing units for seniors that the church – the project developer – will oversee through a non-profit housing society. The project will be entirely self-funded.

I am liking the multi-coloured glass panels.

 

[City Of Rain]

Its the church's color I suppose.

A modern take on stained glass windows perhaps?

Then its good news since I'm sick and tired of the sea of colorless jungle.

Looks like many of the units are already occupied.

I wonder if the developer paid for the church's renovation.
