An upcoming mixed-use Toronto condo project will house a vertically integrated school, marking what could be the first such initiative in Ontario.

Setting the stage for the future of urban education, the Ontario government is investing CAD$44 million to build the new Lower Yonge Precinct Elementary School through a collaboration with the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and Menkes Developments.

The vertically integrated school will be located at Yonge and Harbour Street in Menkes Developments’ upcoming Sugar Wharf Development. The anticipated community development will comprise a total of six towers; five residential and one commercial. Located in the mixed-use condo project, the podium school is unique to Ontario and will provide 455 student spaces for families in the lower Yonge and waterfront neighborhoods.
