Part of a new development, building K2 is a 35 story mixed use building proposal. It is envisioned as an ‘exclamation mark’ that anchors the North-West corner of two main streets in the area. Capitalizing on a highly marketable address the streetscape and storefronts are envisioned as pro-pedestrian, tree covered, canopy lined commercial, retail establishments with dining experiences that energize the street throughout the evening. A commercial podium contributes with high performance and versatile AAA office environments. High above the tree canopies, an expressive, vertically emphasized tower is proposed.

The residential component offers units that feel unique and identifiable from the street, while the efficient floor plates and modularized suites facilitate economy of construction with a palette of architecturally engineered aesthetic combinations.
