116 Lisgar is a modest office building that is allowed to stand out in its context due to its neighbours: the 21-storey residential Merit to the east, and the near-century old Knox Presbyterian Church to the west. The unusual string of buildings gives each property a unique character, and the 7-storey office is not an exception.

The building is square in plan, and each face has four bays, separated by white concrete columns that rise the height of the building. In each bay, black brick sits below four large inoperable windows. A small, gated garden occupies the space on the Lisgar St. façade, alongside the building’s main entrance. The main entrance to 116 Lisgar is a revolving door covered by a modest, column-free canopy.
