The S-building, located at the intersection of Lower Sherbourne and Esplanade in downtown Toronto, is a thirteenth storey single loaded building consisting of four unique unit variations.

The module consists of a custom unit for single parent family, a three- storey family unit, a two bedroom unit, and a bachelor unit.
