Daniel libeskind designed sub penthouse l tower toronto
The L Tower is condominium development under construction in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, the structure is located adjacent to the heritage-designated Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, a modernist icon of the city at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets. It will not be built atop the existing building, as had been proposed. The project, which broke ground in mid-October 2009, was expected to be complete in mid-2015.

In the 2000s, the Sony Centre (then known as the Hummingbird Centre) was expected to be demolished and the land sold, however Hummingbird Centre CEO Dan Brambilla convinced the city to preserve the site and approve the condo development.

Developers
The building is being developed by three builders: Cityzen and Castlepoint Numa of Toronto, and Fernbrook Homes of Concord, Ontario.
Sony Plaza and public art
The Sony Plaza is an open space elevated above the intersection of Yonge and Front streets. It is being designed by Claude Cormier and Associates.
Canadian artist Harley Valentine is creating a triptych of sculptures to be installed in the Sony Plaza. Called Dream Ballet in hommage to the National Ballet of Canada's four-decade residence at the site, the three sculptures depict abstracted ballet dancers in various dynamic positions.
