shift your perspectiveA series of illuminated boxes, carefullystacked. Spaces shifted gently left andright, geometry that draws the eyeskyward. A building that’s poised to beiconic, the shape of things to come.

That’s Totem.

It’s city living that’s a shift from what’scome before. A place designed to meet theneeds of urbanites looking for their ownlittle slice of downtown. It’s not aboutfitting your life to a cookie cutter shape,Totem is about living your life in the perfectlocation that’s designed to fit you to a T.

MID-CENTURY MODERN, MEET THE NEW MILLENNIUM.The building design incorporates the existingstructure at 17 Dundonald. Built in 1956, theCommercial Travellers’ Association of CanadaBuilding is a culturally significant example ofsmall-scale Modern architecture, and is includedon the city’s inventory of heritage properties.

Designed by Toronto architectural firm WeirCripps and Associates, the low, sleek buildingfeatures a distinctive grid of solids and voidswith turquoise-hued glazed brick, travertine,aluminum and concrete cladding, highlyrepresentative of the Modern style popular inpost-war Toronto. This original structure makesup the base of Totem, adding context, historyand texture to the building’s thoughtful design.

your own private subway entranceIt’s the ultimate urban location. Right beside a subway station – with a private entrance thatmeans you don’t even have to go outside to get around town. Step right from the Totem lobbyinto Wellesley station, through an exclusive entrance with secure fob access. Who needs a carwhen taking the TTC is so easy?

Imagine it. A quick underground trip to shop the Eaton Centre, no coat required. Getting to work in a flash, without an exhausting commute. Accessing great cultural attractions –museums, theatre, music and more – without ever having to worry about where to park your car.When you live here, you can go anywhere.

InspiredArchitectureTotem is unlike anything Toronto has ever seen.Dynamic, irreverent and bold, it reaches for the skyin a series of stacked boxes – contemporary cubistarchitecture executed to perfection. This isn’t justanother generic glass tower, it’s a rich, thoughtfuladdition to the architectural texture of the city.

Page 5: Totem Brochure

ICONICTotem’s architecture is a nod to Manhattan’s award-winning New Museum, ashowcase for contemporary art, and an icon of urban modernism. Totem combineselegance and urbanism, movement and modern lines, creating a dynamic structure that brings a fresh presence to a quaint downtown street, lined with Victorian homes, Dundonald.

THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN TORONTO !Using a secured fob entry, the residents have direct access to the Wellesley Subway station from the lobby at Totem.

THE CUBE Jutting boldly over the street, this dark,dramatic shape draws the eye and engages thesenses. Bold stone cladding that provides a richtextural counterpoint to the sleek glass andsteel of the rest of the building.

Ifyou’re on a bit of a budget, there’salways Winners and Pottery Barnto make it look like you’ve spentlots, without breaking the bank.

The Royal Ontario Museum is atthe westernmost part of the Mink Mile – not just a touristdestination, a visit to the ROMmakes for a perfect date night,especially on one of their FridayNight Live events, which turn themuseum into the city’s coolestclub, with drinks, dancing andgreat food among the dinosaurs.

The VillageA thriving neighbourhood of bars,restaurants, cafes and more arejust around the corner in Toronto’sbest-known gay neighbourhood.The Village is the epicenter ofPride Week, one of the largestpride fests in the world (anddefinitely one of Toronto’sfavourite parties). This ten-daycelebration draws massive crowdsfrom all over the world toconcerts, galas and culturalevents, culminating in the famousPride Parade.

Queen’s ParkHead west along Wellesley, and aquick ten-minute walk will takeyou to the Ontario Legislature, asprawling historic structure set inserene parkland. Opened in 1860in honour of Queen Victoria,Queen’s Park is surrounded byministry buildings and the graciousstructures of University of Toronto,and is just steps away from theRoyal Ontario Museum and theGardiner Museum at Bloor andAvenue Road.

Elegant mansionsare juxtaposed with cheap andcheerful sushi places and studentwatering holes, giving the area afun, energetic vibe you won’t findanywhere else in the city.

College ParkThis quiet mall and high-riseresidence was home to Eaton’selegant art deco flagship store.The original showpiece has beenbroken up to house smaller shopsand services, but the beautifuldeco details remain.

Recentlyrestored to its original ArtModerne splendour, the venuefeatures a hand-painted mural byNatacha Carlu and a stunningLalique fountain.

Yonge Dundas Square There’s always somethinghappening at Yonge DundasSquare, located right across thestreet from the Eaton Centre.Public concerts, events, moviesand more happen every day duringthe summer and are mostly free.It’s a fun, dynamic spot that’salways busy. And if you get toohot, cool off in the “urban beach”(a favourite with overheatedjoggers), a dynamic art installationmade up of fountains that run 24hours a day from mid-April to earlyOctober.

Ryerson UniversityHead south along Yonge orChurch, and you’ll find another setof hallowed educational halls; theever-expanding Ryerson campus istucked in around the Eaton Centre.Stop by on a sunny summer day –Gould Street between Yonge andChurch is permanently closed totraffic, and is the perfect place tosit down at a patio table and enjoylunch of a coffee al fresco.
