 condominium, 2016_construction

10-story modernist residential building completed in 2016. Designed by Rob Rogers, it is clad in grey brick. At the ground floor there is a recessed bay on the left with glass double-doors, and a wider recessed bay in the middle with three more sets of doors; all of this area has a surround of bronze-colored paneling. There is a small, recessed service door at the east end.

At the upper floors the two end bays and two wider center bays all have multi-paned windows recessed into the facade. Above the 6th floor, the three eastern bays set back, creating a large terrace with a glass railing. The top floors evolve into an abstract jumble of cubed forms, with various setbacks and projections, with multiple glass-lined terraces and cantilevered areas.

The Dorian replaces a 6-story former warehouse building. As demolition work was just beginning on that building, a fire broke out on October 20, 2015, damaging the upper floors. The new building contains 14 condominium units.
