20 Prince Arthur Tenants' Association M5R 1B1
About the building
Prince Arthur Towers at 20 Prince Arthur Avenue was Modernist architect Uno Prii’s favourite of his 250 Toronto apartment buildings. Its sweeping 22-storey buttresses made it a landmark when completed in 1968. Located near the eastern edge of the Annex, and not in Yorkville as advertised, it is almost centred on the University of Toronto’s Philosophers Walk to the south. To the north is a majestic vista of the Annex, Canada’s largest village of Victorian and Edwardian houses. Prince Arthur Towers has one of the largest private gardens in the area and a large water-jet fountain. It is one of 16 of his buildings listed on Toronto’s Inventory of Heritage Properties. The Toronto Society of Architect’s guide map of 1953-2003 buildings cites Uno Prii’s quote on his buildings:
I felt I could treat them as big sculptures, so the guy who lived there could say, “I live in this building,” and people would say, “Oh, I know that building.”
