BEAToronto Tour: Women of Reina Condos

Join BEAT for an exclusive tour of Reina, led by six women whose contributions were central to the design and delivery of this residential project.

Located on The Queensway in Toronto’s Queensway Village, Reina is Canada’s first condominium designed and developed by an all-women project team, with women leading project management, architecture, engineering, urban planning, construction management, and sales.

The project explores how different perspectives might shape the design and experience of condominium living. Its sinuous architectural expression carries through to the interiors, while a range of unit layouts, multipurpose amenity spaces, and shared programming are designed to accommodate residents across generations and encourage a stronger sense of community.

Bringing this vision together required close coordination across disciplines, from the initial development concept through design and construction. The tour will offer insight into the project’s design process, the challenges encountered along the way, and the collaborative approach taken by the women who brought Reina from concept to completion.
