Introduction
The Well represents a new urban experience for Toronto, by taking the successful mixed-use city building lessons of the past and framing them within a modern and progressive built form context.
The subject site comprises the properties currently municipally recognized as 440, 450 and 452 Front Street West, 425, 439, 441 and 443 Wellington Street West,. 1 & 19 Draper Street, and 6-18 Spadina Avenue. This constitutes 68% of the block bounded by Wellington Street West to the north, Draper Street to the west, Front Street West on the south side and Spadina Avenue to the east.
Official Plan Amendment 317 contemplates a maximum FSI of 9.5. The development proposes to be approximately fifty percent employment uses and fifty percent residential. Comprised of seven buildings in total, the life of The Well takes place not only in the buildings, but also in the spaces between the buildings.
The purpose of this document is to provide design guidance for the future designers of The Well.
The secondary purpose of this document is to act as a lens through which the evaluation of The Well, over the course of it’s development, will be viewed by City of Toronto Community Planning and Urban Design staff.
All building designs, site plans and renderings as shown in this document are indicative only. The Urban Design Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the City of Toronto’s land use planning framework.
The focus on the pedestrian experience has been an overarching design principle of the proposed development, with a significant proportion of the site area dedicated to pedestrian pathways and open spaces. Retail uses and lobbies will provide animation at grade, not only along the public street, but also in the pedestrian pathways.
All of the aforementioned are contained and framed within creatively designed and sited buildings, so as to respond to and complement the existing and planned built form character surrounding the site. The Well invites Torontonians to live, work and shop through the day and night, and can also be an attraction for visitors.
The unique experience at the pedestrian level is unprecedented in such a large-scale development, particularly within an urban context. The Well is a positive example and important development for the city, as it gives residents, employees and visitors a unique experience in modern city building.

The design approach to The Well has is rooted in traditional city building techniques that are applied within a contemporary approach. A balanced mix of uses are contained within the unique and interesting character of new buildings, responding to the surrounding structures of the King-Spadina neighbourhood. The spacebetween buildings is just as important as the buildings themselves, and pedestrian pathways between buildings connect the site through to restaurants, galleries and other vibrant areas of the city.
The Well is comprised of 7 distinct buildings, marked in the skyline by an iconic Class A office building on the northwest corner of Spadina Avenue and Front Street West. It announces The Well to the city. Like all buildings in The Well, the office building is mixed with other uses, built on a retail podium base. Though the number of residents in the area has grown, options for shopping are difficult to find within King-Spadina area.
The Well will address the shortage of retail options in the neighbourhood by adding a significant amount of new retail space. The first and second floors throughout the development will be
primarily retail, with additional retail in a portion of the lower concourse level to allow for a variety of retail store sizes.
The primary circulation within The Well will be an at grade pedestrian pathway system that is reflective of similar such pathways in the surrounding blocks. This pathway system winds from Wellington Street West to Front Street West in distinct locations and will also connect from the corner of Spadina Ave and Front Street West through the length of the property to Draper Street.
This pedestrian pathway is primarily open to the elements, but covered in places. The pathway is active and framed by a variety of retail options and entrance lobbies to the residential and office components.
There are three particular locations that can be animated with special events: a green space on Wellington Street West, a courtyard on Front Street West and other accessible areas within the site. They could become the home of a regular market, a gathering space for special events, cafe patios or simply a space in which to linger and to enjoy the day. The subject site also includes the properties at 1 Draper Street and 19 Draper Street, though the former will be maintained as is and the latter will be used as a public park.
THE DESIGN APPROACH OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTFloor to floor heights of the office building are designed with an emphasis on the type of offices found in King Spadina in older renovated buildings. This type of office space is usually marketed to companies involved in creative industries, which characterize the office market of the future.
Offices will occupy a number of levels of each of the buildings located along Front Street West, in addition to the retail and residential portions of the project.
The three buildings along Front Street, (west of the office building) will be comprised of residential buildings above the retail and office space within the podiums.
Wellington Street West will be comprised of mixed use buildings, with residential above the retail spaces. These buildings are designed to frame the Wellington Street frontage and complement the street’s existing built form character. Evocative of the masonry warehouse buildings of the neighbourhood, they are smaller in scale along the street frontage, each being broken down into smaller components as they address the street.

The plan is comprised of 7 building modules. Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are designed to have a strong local realtionship to the scale of Wellington Street West.
Buildings 4, 5 and 6 are scaled to Front Street West and the rail corridor.
Building 7 is a landmark office tower at the southeast corner of Front Street West
and Spadina Ave. A heritage property is located at the northeast corner of the subject property at 401 Wellington St. W. The western edge also aligns with the Draper Street Heritage District.

UDG5 Improvements to the public realm include enhancing the streetscapes of Wellington Street West, Spadina Ave and Front Street West through widening the sidewalks and the introduction of street furniture and trees and planting to soften the public realm. These streetscape improvements should achieve a minimum pedestrian sidewalk width of 6 metres on the combined public and
private land, which may include weather protection, colonnades and spaces for cafes/patios. A variety of grade related retail uses and lobbies will activate the public realm along Front Street West, Spadina Ave and Wellington Street West, while a passageway through the site’s southeast corner will create a gateway at the Front and Spadina intersection.
UDG6 Create four, new, north-south pedestrian pathways and one, new, east-west pathway contributing to the walkable nature of the area. Align these pathways with existing potential and planned pedestrian pathways on the northside of Wellington Street West. A significant proportion of the site should be compromised of pedestrian pathways, landscaped plazas, and parks.

UDG8 On Wellington Street West, create and maintain a public realm as generally indicated below, the design of which will be approved during the master site plan approval.
UDG9 The public realm should be animated by active retail and commercial uses on the ground floor of Buildings, 1, 2 and 3. The public realm should include
a double row of trees, seating, high quality street furniture and paving materials, as well as lighting and street furniture subject to City approval.
