Gaslight Square
131 Water Street
Project 200 was to have transformed this area into a series of
high-rises served by a freeway. When the project met public opposition,
developers rethought and reduced their plans. The CPR's Marathon
Realty chose to renovate most of the 1920s warehouses on the north
side of this block, adding the new Gaslight Square in 1974-75. Henriquez
and Todd Architects designed the building with its bay windows,
brick façade and awnings to blend with its older neighbours.
