Burano is a 50 storey, 163 metre tall residential high-rise condominium complex on Bay Street between Grenville St. and Grosvenor St. in the Discovery District of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[3][4][5] The redevelopment of the site was part of a period of urban renewal of the Toronto financial district in the early 21st century.[6][7] Toronto City Planning stated that the Burano has "significantly contributed to the improvement of the streetscape and the public realm."[8]
