At Gutmann North America, we are proud to have contributed our custom aluminum windows to this transformative project.
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, the Southam Press Building at 19 Duncan Street is a stunning example of the city’s rich architectural history. Originally built in 1908, this red brick building played a pivotal role in the area’s development. Standing as one of the first tall commercial buildings in Toronto, with its five stories, the Southam Press Building was originally a warehouse and later became a significant heritage property. Its classical and gothic detailing make it a standout feature in the city, which is why it was designated as one of Toronto’s heritage properties in 2005.
Redevelopment of Thomson Reuters Headquarters
Fast forward to 2023, and this iconic structure was given a new lease on life through a remarkable redevelopment project. Under the expert design of Hariri Pontarini Architects, the historic Southam Press Building was integrated with the sleek, 57-storey Thomson Reuters Headquarters. The new tower, a mixed-use development in Toronto, combines office spaces with residential areas, marking a major milestone in Toronto’s urban evolution.
Our innovative S70+ Fixed Aluminum Window system was selected for its ability to deliver exceptional thermal insulation and unparalleled design flexibility. These high-performance aluminum windows provide energy efficiency and an optimal aesthetic for this complex glazing project. Seamlessly integrated near the base of the heritage building, the windows not only enhance the building’s energy performance but also complement the structure’s architectural style with their sleek, modern design. This integration demonstrates the potential of custom aluminum window solutions in heritage building redevelopment.
