Burano is a 50 storey, 163 metre tall residential high-rise condominium complex on Bay Street between Grenville St. and Grosvenor St. in the Discovery District of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
[3][4][5] The redevelopment of the site was part of a period of urban renewal of the Toronto financial district in the early 21st century.
[6][7] Toronto City Planning stated that the Burano has "significantly contributed to the improvement of the streetscape and the public realm.
[19] Due to the soft soil at the site, and to facilitate excavation, the historic facade was dismantled and stored off-site during construction of the seven-floor underground garage.
After the garage and foundation appropriate for the fifty floors above ground were completed, the facade was reconstructed, incorporating the important heritage components.
