The 450,000-square-foot mixed-use tower was celebrated in early June with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking its official grand opening.

The new 6-story, 215,000-square-foot, mixed-use facility promotes a “see and be seen” vibe with 30 percent of its façade clad with glass. Enhancing the transparency, operable windows deliver natural ventilation to 80 percent of the spaces in the building.

A neglected 1960s concrete office tower was recently transformed into The Cosmopolitan, a modern architectural landmark in the “EU capital” of Brussels.

A mixed-use, midrise building at 109 King Street in Newcastle, Ontario, was planned with the design intent to match the look and feel of the heritage brick facades on nearby historical buildings.  Large windows with very little panel surface area created unusual design challenges.

Blaik Ritchie has joined NELSON Worldwide as Vice President and Mixed-Use Business Leader. Under Blaik’s leadership, the firm’s mixed-use team will expand its capabilities to create dynamic destinations that inspire engagement.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted expectations in nearly all aspects of our lives. Whether in work, school, or leisure, we’ve collectively been forced to adapt new habits and ways of thinking.

The six-story building houses three levels of boutique office spaces above three floors of prime high-street retail spaces in the city’s premier shopping destination.
