Back in January we covered the launch of the Nicholas Residences. Originally the tower was calling for 29 stories, but now they’ve released another 6 floors bringing it to a total of 35! If you missed your chance to purchase earlier in the year, now is a perfect time to choose between a limited selection of 1 and 2 bedroom suites. Only 54 units are being made available in this final release at Nicholas Residences.
The building will feature architectural design by CORE Architects and interiors complemented by Cecconi Simone. Residents will be surrounded by floor to ceiling windows and either a Balcony, French Balcony or Terrace. The 9 foot ceilings will be capped with a smooth finish. Owners can select between pre-engineered wood flooring or German engineered high performance wide plank laminate flooring. Parking is available for almost every suite!

Hungry but don’t feel like cooking? Forgot to pack a lunch? Or maybe you missed your daily fix of Starbucks. Whatever the case, the new Market by Longo’s could probably solve all those problems!
BloorCondos visited the new store to see what fresh finds The Market offered. The store isn’t large by traditional standards, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The compact sized store made it easy to navigate with tons of friendly staff nearby to help. The salad bar seemed to be the most popular attraction, where many people were mixing and matching salad combos. Past the salad bar was a sushi station with sets made right in front of you! Some delicious entrées can be had along the west wall with everything from a bakery to a pizza parlour. There’s a fresh fish counter at the back with prepared meats seasoned and ready to go… and for those who like their coffee on the run; the built-in Starbucks is there to serve you!
The Market is a great addition to Bloor and Yonge, giving residents and employees of the neighbourhood a great selection of prepared foods at a convenient location. The Market is located next to the Toronto Marriot – Bloor Yorkville at Bloor and Park Rd (100 Bloor Street East Toronto ON M4W 1A7) and open from Monday – Friday 7am-9pm Saturday & Sunday 7am-8pm!

In our second look at Pears on the Avenue, we’re shifting our attention to the many luxurious amenities the condos will have!
Residents can choose between: the Multi-purpose party room with catering kitchen and wet bar, indoor pool with whirlpool and private cabanas, a gym with separate cardio and weight areas, a yoga studio, men’s and woman’s change rooms with showers and saunas, a Hollywood style screening room, a private board room, a hotel-styled guest suite and a landscaped terrace with open fire pit, seating and sundeck!
Many of the amenites will be spread over the ground floor and upper mezzanine. The party room will have a “club house” feel with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the landscaped terrace! An off white limestone will clad the walls of the pool room, with porcelain tiled floors below. Complementing the pool is a whirlpool set against a wall of backlit onyx. It’s the perfect retreat in the city on those cold winter days!

Last Thursday the Gumball 3000 Rally stopped in Yorkville for the night! The weather held up just long enough for Torontonians to take in the exotic sights of tricked out Lambo’s, Ferrari’s and even a few Bentley’s. For those that missed it, Toronto photographer Dan G. snapped some high calibre cinematic photos of the cars as the sun was setting. Check them out below as well as some other sights BloorCondos.com saw at Gumball 3000!


With Pears on the Avenue now launching to the public, we wanted to revisit the project and take a closer look at some of the details that the condo will offer! Designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, Pears will be an 18-storey building that will sit on top of a three-storey lobby. The bold design of the lobby will welcome residents and their guests with a double helix shaped staircase which gracefully connects the main level to the third. The look of the staircase is similar in curves to the now famous Frank Gehry stairs at the AGO.
Pears will be home to approximately 130 suites with interiors designed by Munge Leung. Their work can be seen all over the City in places like Ultra nightclub and future condo projects such as The Residents at the Ritz Carlton and One Bedford.
In the coming posts we’ll be looking at other key features at Pears; including suite details, amenities and finishes!
