We are very proud that our David Crombie Park Revitalization has won the coveted The Pineapples Award – the UK’s premier award celebrating excellence in placemaking.
We receive the award for our “ambitious and inspiring” revitalization of Toronto’s iconic and historic David Crombie Park.
Spanning more than seven city blocks, the project unites nature, people, and community in one of downtown Toronto’s largest open space projects in over a decade.


Congratulations to our amazing client, the City of Toronto, our fantastic team Arcadis, Tawaw Architecture Collective Inc., Third Party Public, Marcel Dion Lighting Design, and the whole local community.
Great places are truly built on great collaborations.
