500 Dundas is a six-storey condo building, which is currently under construction in Whitby, ON. When complete, the development will provide almost 5500 square meters of housing on a heritage site.

V+A worked extensively with the Whitby heritage committee in a collaborative and creative process to create a scheme that balanced the needs of the developer, while still reconciling the features of the heritage house, and ensuring that the memory of the original dwelling on the site was sufficiently preserved. V+A engaged with a large team, including city officials, heritage department members, several consultants, and the project’s stakeholders. The six-storey development also features multi-level underground parking, and strives to function as an energy efficient residential complex. The project also utilizes a green roof, and takes steps to ensure that stormwater is managed effectively.
