Enigma on the Park, an 86-unit complex catering to the city’s creative population, represents renewal and growth. Situated on property once scarred by pollution, now bordered by lush green space, the project was conceived by Aragon Properties as a place for residents to harness the energy created in the neighborhood’s revival.
Designed by BDP Quadrangle and completed in 2018, the complex stands nine stories high and uses reclaimed materials like exposed brick for interior walls to hearken to the area’s industrial past. Floor to ceiling windows allow for natural light to illuminate living spaces. Amenities like common rooms, a rooftop terrace lounge and artist studios and galleries encourage community socialization.
Black and white chevrons fabricated with ALPOLIC metal composite materials clad the building’s envelope, creating the illusion of movement. This theme aligns with the recent changes in Toronto’s mass transit system; Enigma on the Park is blocks away from Bloor Station, which is now part of the Union Pearson Express, allowing residents a more direct line to and from downtown.
