Description:
This project series documents a proposed mixed-use development at the corner of Phoebe and Soho Streets in Toronto from 1995-1997. The office identified the project number as 9513. This project proposed a large development on approximately 75,000 square feet of land that would host condominiums, parking areas, common outdoor spaces, retail and other amenities. Several schemes were examined that varied in the number of buildings, their configuration on the site, and on specific amenities that would be provided. The project was commissioned by The Wittington Group, but was never built. The project is recorded through drawings, a presentation painting and some accompanying textual records dating from 1995-1997. The drawings are mostly original sketches and presentation drawings.

Oberlander worked on this from 1990-1993 with Richard Henriquez & Partners and sculptor Jack Harmon. Together, they won the design competition organized by the National Capital Commission in 1990. The monument is situated between the National Gallery of Canada and the United States Embassy, between St. Patrick Street and Murray Street.
