Nicholas Residences
75 St. Nicholas Street. 
On a charming 19th century, tree-lined and cobblestoned street, the Nicholas Residences rise 35 stories above ground, carefully blending the new with the old. Sitting on the former site of the Planing Mill Building, 75 St. Nicholas Street was helmed by Urban Capital (M City, Smart House) and ALIT Developments (Boutique Condos) and designed by award-winning CORE Architects (Six 50 King West, The College Condos at Spadina), who is no stranger to specialized projects across the city.
In order to preserve much of the nostalgic atmosphere of this quaint Toronto street, the podium of Nicholas Residences incorporates the bricks from the former planing mill. The bricks were carefully disassembled, cleaned, and then reincorporated into the project’s podium, recreating the mill’s exterior. By using the Planing Mill Building as a design element at the building’s base, the Nicholas Residences stay true to the street’s heritage. The project was completed in 2013. Location.
