Project Overview
Midtown Central exemplifies thoughtful urban design with a wood-frame, mixed-use structure that harmoniously integrates three levels of residential units atop a vibrant retail space at ground level. Below, the building extends two additional levels underground to accommodate ample parking, storage, and essential service areas. These features collectively support the needs of both residents and visitors, while offering practical solutions for urban living.
Located in the burgeoning Mount Pleasant neighborhood—a dynamic inner-city area undergoing rapid redevelopment—the site benefits from an array of local amenities and conveniences. From eclectic shops to popular cafes, Mount Pleasant is a lively hub that caters to diverse tastes and lifestyles. Its excellent transit connectivity further enhances the appeal for those seeking easy access to all corners of the city.

The project's vision takes full advantage of a challenging sloped site by embracing a crisp, modern aesthetic. This distinct architectural approach not only addresses the site's unique topography but also transforms the relatively small structure into a visual landmark within the evolving neighborhood. With its clean lines and contemporary design, the building embodies innovation and style, setting a bold yet harmonious tone amid Mount Pleasant's ever-changing cityscape.
