Case Study: Slate Asset Management Repositions 1 St. Clair West as a Mixed-Use Asset with Gensler

Slate Asset Management repositions 1 St. Clair West with Gensler, adding 67,000 sq ft of office space

Slate Asset Management faced the challenge of a financially unviable demolition of the 1 St. Clair West building in Toronto. They enlisted the architecture firm Gensler to reposition the property as a vibrant mixed-use development instead.

Gensler used its proprietary office-to-residential conversion tool to demonstrate the site's value and developed a design concept that included an overbuild to add density. Their solution provided floorplate flexibility and a valuable unit mix. The repositioned building is anticipated to include 67,000 square feet of office space, 9,500 square feet of retail, and 23,000 square feet of amenities, transforming it into a holistic, user-focused experience.
