The Spoke, a new 23-storey purpose-built rental community located at Dupont and Symington, is bringing 398 new purpose-built rental homes to Toronto’s west end. Developed and managed by Tricon, the community has been designed around the idea of supporting the evolving rhythm of modern urban living through flexible suite layouts, integrated amenities, and community-focused experiences.
Located in the Junction Triangle, The Spoke places residents within close reach of some of Toronto’s most established west-end neighbourhoods, including The Junction, Wallace Emerson, Bloordale Village, Geary Avenue, and Corso Italia. The area is known for its mix of independent cafés, breweries, galleries, creative studios, and access to transit and cycling infrastructure, including the West Toronto Railpath.
Designed to Support Creative & Energetic Lifestyles
The Spoke was conceived as a rental community that reflects how residents live, work, and move through the city today. One-, two-, and three-bedroom suites have been designed with flexibility in mind, with many layouts incorporating dens, spacious study areas, and additional functional space suited for remote work and day-to-day living. Select ground-floor homes also include private entrances and enclosed urban backyards.
Tricon’s signature amenity collection was designed as an extension of residents’ daily routines rather than a series of standalone features. Club Apex, the property’s commercial-grade fitness facility, supports wellness and active living, while The Cove includes a rooftop pool, spa environment, cold plunge, and panoramic city views. The Node provides coworking and focus spaces designed to accommodate hybrid work and study needs within the building itself.
Additional amenities include lounges, family and games spaces, a private theatre, and a music and karaoke room. The Vault, a dedicated bike storage and repair hub, reflects the neighbourhood’s bike-forward culture and emphasis on mobility.
Building Community Within the Junction Triangle
In addition to its physical spaces, The Spoke incorporates resident programming intended to strengthen community connections and support local engagement. Residents will have access to Toronto Life Insiders programming, urban beekeeping initiatives through a partnership with Alvéole, and urban gardening workshops in collaboration with Evergreen Brick Works.
The development also reflects the character and evolution of the Junction Triangle itself. The name “The Spoke” references the spoke of a bicycle wheel, symbolizing movement, connection, and the area’s active transportation culture. The project was designed to complement the neighbourhood’s industrial history and creative identity rather than impose a conventional rental model.
Architecture for the community was designed by TACT Architecture and Graziana + Corazza Architects, with interiors by Johnson Chou and landscape architecture by Site/C Landscape Architecture Inc. Interior spaces were developed with an emphasis on practical, adaptable design, using layered materials and flexible layouts intended to support everyday living.
A New Approach to Rental Living in the West End
Residents at The Spoke also benefit from a range of everyday conveniences, including 24-hour automated parcel lockers, a dedicated concierge and on-site maintenance team, and a custom mobile app for resident communication and services. A ground-floor coffee shop is also planned as part of the development.
As demand continues to grow for purposefully designed rental housing in Toronto, The Spoke represents a new rhythm of rental living in the city’s west end. One that combines design, flexibility, and community in a neighbourhood defined by creativity and momentum.
