mass timber + low carbon

T3 Bayside—Office Building PHASE 1 // toronto


T3 Bayside aligns with Eastern’s portfolio of brick-and-beam structures integrated with technology, style, amenities, and sustainability using mass timber.

Located at 251 Queens Quay East near Parliament Street, the project is to become part of Bayside Toronto—a masterplanned community which includes two million square feet of luxury condominiums, affordable homes, shopping and restaurant destinations, cultural venues, green spaces, and a promenade alongside Lake Ontario. T3 Bayside measures 254,000 sq ft distributed over 10-floors plus mechanical penthouse. Amenities include: rooftop patios with a 360-degree view of the city, double-height amenity spaces, voluminous lobby with food services, opportunities for double-height office space, and underground parking.

Using timber sourced from young trees to maintain sustainable forestry practices, the use of wood in construction provides three key environmental benefits:

  • T3 will store 3,886 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide

  • T3 will take the equivalent of 2,708 cars off the road

  • T3 avoids 6,655 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions
