Breathing Life Back Into Yonge Street


"Aura is changing the way we view our city.”
The 78-storey mega-tower, nearing completion on the northwest corner of Yonge and Gerrard Sts., has fast become one of Toronto most recognizable landmarks.
“You notice it from the 401 and Dufferin, or coming down the DVP,” notes Barry Graziani, the architect whose firm Graziani & Corraza designed Aura, Canada’s tallest residential building.
“It reorients you — there’s the financial district and then there’s Aura farther north. It’s expanding our sense of the city and the downtown core.”
