WaterWorks Condos
505 Richmond Street West. 
The new WaterWorks Condos at the corner of Richmond Street West and Brant Street is steeped in history. Standing 13-storeys tall, this modern mid-rise building sits on the former site of Toronto's Water Works building, established in 1932 to offset Depression-era unemployment. The building still stands here today, and has been selected by Build Toronto (now part of CreateTO) as part of one the city's most exciting redevelopment opportunities.
Helmed by partners MOD Developments Inc. (Five Condos, The Massey Tower) and Woodcliffe Landmark Properties, the WaterWorks Condos are one of downtown Toronto's most vibrant additions. Completed in mid-2021, the community-focused project includes a new YMCA, 15 affordable housing units, and a public food hall, all connected to the St. Andrews Playground. The sleek new building, which houses 299 units, was designed by celebrated architect firm Diamond + Schmitt (Wonder Condos, 101 Spadina). The design aesthetic of the project manages to retain the Art Deco style of the historic Water Works Building while incorporating the chic U-shaped residential structure that rises above it. Residents of this complex should be ready to enjoy the finer things in life, from the amenity spaces to the well-designed suites to the surrounding neighbourhood features. Location.
