This 42-storey development, helmed by Tribute Communities (Queen+Portland, 81 Mutual), is located at the site of the former Royal Canadian Military Institute at 426 University Avenue. Designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects (160 Front West, 2 Queen West), who are no strangers to the preservation of the aesthetic of historcal sites, The Residences of RCMI features a replica of the 1907 neo-classical façade. A tall, elegant glass-clad tower rises from this base.

While there is no parking here, there are hundreds of bike storage spaces available. Green living is a top priority for Tribute Communities. Designed to LEED standards, The Residences at RCMI is a nod to sustainable design. Interiors by boutique interior design firm Andrea Kantelberg Design (Queen+Portland, One Bloor East) ensure that each suite features smart elegant features and unique touches.
