Consisting of 349 units within two angular, matte black buildings connected by a four storey bridge, the multiple award-winning first phase of River City kicked off Urban Capital's four phase River City development in 2009. Designed by Montreal-based Saucier + Perrotte Architectes and surrounded by some of Toronto's most spectacular parks in the newly developed West Don Lands district, the 1100 unit River City development is like nothing else in Toronto. Urban Capital won the right to develop River City in 2008 after an extensive public tender process in which 18 national and international developers participated. Urban Capital's proposal won based on overall design, neighbourhood vision, and environmental commitment.
