Published October 8, 2024 By Kostuch Media Ltd.
TORONTO — Missoni, world-renowned Italian fashion house, is making its debut in downtown Toronto with Missoni Sky, a luxurious tower being developed with Amexon Development Corporation, one of Toronto’s leading real-estate developers. The tower, which will house a boutique hotel, restaurants and luxurious residential spaces, will blend the world of high fashion with elevated urban living, establishing a new global benchmark for fashion-inspired developments.
Located in the vicinity of the King-Jarvis design district in downtown Toronto, Missoni Sky will stand as a beacon of contemporary architecture. The tower’s sleek, modern silhouette emerges from an elegant eight-storey brick podium. Rising above the podium is a striking glass tower offering panoramic views of Lake Ontario and beyond. Designed by the award-winning CORE Architects, the building “pushes creative boundaries and sets a new standard for urban living in Toronto,” says Deni Poletti, lead architect at CORE Architects.
The tower will showcase Missoni’s signature geometric style, seamlessly integrating the brand’s iconic zigzag patterns and vibrant colour harmonies into every element — from the expansive lobbies and rooftop terraces to the fashion-inspired amenities and sophisticated interiors of the exclusive residences.
“Missoni Sky represents the successful translation of our brand’s style into an immersive living experience,” says Alberto Caliri, creative director of Missoni Home. “This development brings Missoni’s artistic essence to life, infusing every corner of the tower with our distinctive approach.”
To bring its vision to life, Missoni teamed up with Toronto-based design studio II BY IV Design. Known for its innovative approach, II BY IV DESIGN has adeptly translated Missoni’s fashion-forward ethos into the tower’s interiors. “Working with Missoni has been an incredible journey, allowing us to craft living spaces that feel like stepping into a piece of art – modern, bold, and timeless,” says Dan Menchions, principal at II BY IV Design.
In line with Amexon’s Green Development Standard, Missoni Sky will integrate numerous cutting-edge environmental initiatives, including EV charging stations in every parking space, underscoring Amexon’s commitment to sustainable luxury living, placing Missoni Sky at the forefront of sustainable development in Canada.
