Overview

The CN Towers London, developed, owned, and operated by Horizon Legacy, is a unique property combining a commercial office tower and a CN railway station. This development was strategically built to support and anticipate economic growth in London, Ontario.

Unique Challenges

Horizon Legacy faced significant challenges constructing the CN Towers London office building over a railway station, necessitating meticulous planning to ensure the structural integrity and safety of both the building and the operational rail lines below. The project demanded Horizon Legacy to implement advanced engineering solutions to mitigate vibrations, noise, and potential disruptions to railway services during the construction phase.

Key Features

Mixed-Use Design: Integration of an office tower with a railway station, catering to both business needs and transportation requirements.
Strategic Location: Positioned on Dundas Street, enhancing its accessibility and visibility.
Economic Catalyst: Designed to stimulate economic activity, contributing significantly to the local economy.

Our Impact

Horizon Legacy is revolutionizing the construction industry with the first and largest neighborhood in Canada built using onsite robotics.

Cost Efficiency

Our approach delivers an average cost of under $300K per unit (costs exclude land, servicing, softcosts) showcasing that robots can be integrated affordably while meeting and exceeding the Ontario Building Code.

With 26 rental units, including 30% affordable, we surpass industry standards.

Our project achieves a 20% reduction in energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions, and our all-electric buildings ensure zero greenhouse gas energy consumption.

By creating wall assemblies with R-30 thermal performance and consolidating three trades into one, we effectively address the labor shortage, demonstrating the transformative potential of robotics in construction.

Horizon has generated over 14 million kilowatthour (KWH) of clean energy

We have created over 7 million square feet of Toronto’s major developments

“Horizon has built and financed major buildings for ourselves as the long-term owners, wherein, we have then had to live with the operational ramifications of design, construction and financial decisions made at the development stage for the over 20 years life of a building. This is a perspective very distinct from that of the traditional contractor or lender.”
