Burano Condos

The Burano is a 50-story residential high-rise in Toronto's Discovery District, built as part of the urban renewal of the Financial District. Designed by architect Peter Clewes, the building is named after an island in the Venetian Lagoon and incorporates the historic facade of the former McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom from 1925. This heritage-listed Gothic Revival building was once one of the city's first car dealerships. During construction, the facade was carefully dismantled and later rebuilt to preserve its historic character. In the atrium, you can also admire a large abstract fresco by the Italian artist Sandro Martini, which links the modern complex with its history.
