Sugar Beach

Jarvis Slip to become 'Sugar Beach'

A new urban beach is coming to downtown Toronto. Waterfront Toronto announced today it has chosen a playful beach design to revivify the Jarvis slip, a one-acre parcel of waterfront property between the Redpath sugar refinery and an office building for Corus Entertainment.

The winning design, Sugar Beach, weaves together a public plaza, a promenade and a new sand beach along a dock wall at the foot of Lower Jarvis Street. The plan’s signature feature is several rows of candy-coloured beach umbrellas. However, immediately after lavishing praise on the winning designers from Montreal-based Claude Cormier Architects, the chairman of the jury that selected Sugar Beach suggested the umbrellas be scrubbed from the design.
