MYC: Merton Yonge Condominiums

Coming soon to Yonge and Davisville by Cresford Developments: MYC - Merton Yonge Condominiums.

Register with me now to purchase at an upcoming VIP sales event for this project.

The Yonge and Davisville area is sort of like the new Yonge and Eglinton. Young professionals are flocking to the area and who can blame them. Centrally located in the heart of the city, only minutes by subway or car to downtown while still close to some of Toronto’s best neighbourhoods like Mt Pleasant, Leaside, Yonge and St Clair, and of course all the action of Yonge and Eglinton.

Cresford is a big player in the Toronto Condo scene with several projects completed and many more under construction. They are best known for projects like NXT and NXT2, The Merchandise Building, CASA, and BSN: Bloor Street Neighbourhood.

I am expecting a VIP sales event this fall for MYC. Please contact me for more information and your chance to buy before the public.

Giraffe Condos: International Design Comes to Toronto

Register for VIP Sales at Giraffe

Coming soon from TAS DesignBuild to Dundas St W and Bloor W, Giraffe Condos.

Register with me now for you chance to purchase before the public at a VIP sales event.

Giraffe will be a 29-storey tower with 275 units and a unique architectural style that has potential to put it on the international map. The building will be designed to meet LEED standards, and will have many ‘green’ features including an 8000 sq ft roof top garden where residents will be able to grow their own vegetables!

Giraffe is kind of a strange name for a condo but this one is supposed to be unique and independent much like the animal it is named after. Very funky design for sure and I have a hunch that Torontonians will embrace the project in a big way. I can only hope that this will also encourage other developers to take chances and get creative with the architecture in their condo towers. Glass wall towers can be great, but we also need variety.

Giraffe Condos VIP event coming soon! Contact me for more info.

Oct 24 update: Now booking appointments for Preview Sales. Contact me for more info, floor plans and pricing.

Just Listed: Gorgeous East York Bungalow

As you probably have figured out, most of my business is in new condos in downtown Toronto. I don’t do a lot of work outside the downtown core and most of my clients are either buying or selling condos as opposed to freehold houses. But I’m happy to say that there are always exceptions, and this beautiful bungalow in East York is one of them-WOW! What a charmer! This property is a beautiful and the interior design rivals that of the poshest Yorkville condo.

I’ll be hosting an open house on the property this weekend, Saturday Sept 13 and Sunday Sept 14, 2-4pm both days. Feel free to stop by or contact me directly to arrange a showing. This property shows to perfection and will not disappoint.

Go for a Virtual Tour (with 360 Degree views) of the property by visiting 27Donora.com.

Just In Time for TIFF: Festival Tower Final Release of Suites

Festival Tower Condos at King and John, the world’s first Film Festival and Condo! Well, I believe the official marketing slogan is “One Part Condo. One Part Film Festival”. Sales began in this building a couple years back, and construction is well underway, however, in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) currently over-taking downtown Toronto, they are releasing the final group of suites in the building.

If you are interested in attending a special Agents only sales event for this final release of suites, coming up next week, or you would like to see pricing for the release please contact me.

Festival Tower is definitely going to be a high-end building with 381 suites spread out ove 46 storeys in the heart of the entertainment district and will also contain Bell Lightbox - the new home of TIFF. Prices are around the $800 per square foot range. The Developer is Daniels Corporation - one of the big boys in town and certainly capable of making a quality product that they are representing with these prices. Make no mistake, the resale values in this building will be driven by 2 factors: uniqueness and exclusivity.

Festival Tower finishes and features available here.

Festival Tower Floor Plans can be downloaded here.
