West 8 + DTAH win Waterfront Toronto Design Review Panel Awards

On July 22, 2026, Waterfront Toronto hosted the 2nd Waterfront Design Review Panel Awards in their stunning T3 Bayside office. As well as honouring legacy projects of the iconic waterfront, the bi-annual awards were created to celebrate and recognize design excellence for projects that were completed in the design review panel process over the last three years.

Two projects by West 8+DTAH were awarded in the Hall of Fame category. Queens Quay West and The Water’s Edge Promenade were applauded for their lasting impact and contribution. These earlier works set the tone for high-quality public space and have informed what is possible elsewhere in the city and afar.

As designers of the overall masterplan for the Toronto Central Waterfront, West 8 + DTAH would like to thank Waterfront Toronto, the Design Review Panel, the City of Toronto, and our many collaborators for this rewarding relationship. Over the past two decades, we have seen Toronto’s waterfront blossom and become one of Canada’s great places.
