The Castlepoint Numa and Greybrook Realty Partners’ Lower JCT. development is in the news again, thanks to a recent feature on UrbanToronto. The piece describes how the project will transform the previously industrial site, bringing 1,000 residents and 2,500 jobs to the area, and providing a new permanent home to the Museum of Contemporary Art_Toronto_Canada (MOCA) which will occupy five floors of the renovated AUTO BLDG. (MOCA I) in addition to a purpose built gallery space slated to open in 2020 (MOCA II).

Castlepoint President, Alfredo Romano, discussed the diversity of residential units within the Lower JCT. development: from West TWNS. stylish single-family townhomes, to the playfully designed Museum FLTS. condominium suites which feature partially enclosed balcony spaces wrapped in perforated aluminum panels that create a unique outdoor space (which Romano helped bring to life using Museum FLTs. marketing materials).

Other highlights covered the development’s inclusion of family friendly floor plans and communal living spaces/amenities (an adolescent lounge space, daycare and outdoor park space are among those offered by Museum FLTs.), significant commercial space (approximately 560,000 ft²) dedicated to independent retailers and small-scale boutiques/manufacturers, more green space thanks to a new public park and other Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Spaces (POPS), and of course, continued support of the local arts community through MOCA’s involvement.
