Design approach
Coordinated unitized Uniwall delivery with construction and structural steel teams

  • Uniwall system detail shots across the office floors, unitized module grid, glazing, aluminum framing, and panel alignment across all elevations.
  • Ground-floor and podium-level shots showing the building's retail frontage and PATH-connected entrance.
  • Construction and near-completion images documenting STATE's Uniwall installation at 16 York Street from structural completion through to project delivery.

16 York Street stands out from a facade delivery standpoint as a large-scale commercial project requiring a Uniwall system engineered for the performance, sustainability, and aesthetic demands of a Class-A office tower targeting LEED Platinum and WELL Building Standard certification. Delivering a unitized facade system at this scale — 879,000 square feet across 32 storeys — on a site that completes the final corner of a fully built-out downtown intersection required precise coordination with PCL Construction and the project's structural steel contractor, Walters Group. For STATE, 16 York Street reflects the company's capability to deliver Uniwall systems on major commercial office developments, extending beyond the residential condominium projects that make up much of STATE's Toronto portfolio.
