AT&T Center for the Performing Arts

The Pantages Place development sought to create a landmark in the heart of Toronto. The proposed development was a mixed-use commercial and residential building including the AT&T Centre for the Performing Arts, comprised of the 2200-seat Pantages Theatre and a new 1400-seat theatre and Pantages Tower, a high-rise that contained a hotel and condominiums.

The initial phase of the development was to contain 5 levels of belowgrade parking, an expansion to the exisitng Pantages Theatre stage, a new, 1400-seat theatre, the tower core to the 9th floor, street related retail, a residential lobby and a hotel lobby.

The second phase was to include a 41-storey, 419 foot tower combining up-scale condominiums and a four-start hotel. The 313-room hotel was to be located in the lower 25 levels of the building, while the 192 condominium units occupied the upper 16 floors. The structure was to consist of a structural concrete frame clad with precast concrete panels with fenestration and a glazed curtainwall.

The project was projected to be completed by 2000.

Atrium On The Plaza

  • CA CAC 58-1-251
  • Subseries
  • between 1978 and 1980
  • Part of Moshe Safdie

The name of this project was derived from its location, adjacent to a "plaza" shopping center outside of downtown Kansas City, and the design of the units which have as their focal point a two-story, 200 square foot glass enclosed atrium. The project is composed of forty luxury condominium units positioned on a steeply sloped site. Because of the slope, uphill units will have spectacular views over the roofs of the buildings below. In addition, the slope helps to enclose internal gardens and outdoor terraces which open directly from the atrium to afford more privacy for its residents. The highlighted enclosed atrium can be used as a green house or garden room extension of the living area, and also serves as a solar collector during the winter months. During the summer it is protected from overheating by a retractable exterior shade.
