As construction nears completion at Uptown, the soon-to-be residences have another reason to get excited!  Recently the developer, Pemberton, had a “roof-topping” celebration to thank the trades for the work done thus far.  The 48-storey Art Deco-inspired tower can be seen above rising up from Bloor and Balmuto.  The completion of the roof is another step closer to finishing the projects construction!

A selection of luxurious suites remains on the upper floors, all with panoramic views from large balconies and/or terraces. Sophisticated living is available in suite sizes from 1,270 to 2,110 sq. ft. The remaining units are priced from $947,900 to $2,142,900!

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!

We here at BloorCondos.com have been known to call many high-end condos in Yorkville “Gems”… but in this post when we say “Gems”, we really mean it! The BIRKS Toronto flagship store on Bloor (55 Bloor Street West) will have the first 131 diamonds certified by the Government of Ontario on display and for sale! From April 26th until May 1, 2010, the Ontario Diamonds will be sold as loose diamonds, and clients will have the opportunity to mount them whichever way they desire. According to a press release by BIRKS & MAYORS INC.:

“Each Ontario certified diamond comes with a certificate from the Government of Ontario, Canada indicating the diamond number, which is also etched in the diamond itself. Each diamond will also come with a BIRKS Diamond Certificate and laser engraving on the girdle with a maple leaf – visible with 10x power magnification.”

In addition to that flawless diamond, contact us to find an equally special condo!

 The new One Bloor will offer spectacular views, from a variety of vantage points!  Currently, the Yonge and Bloor corner is being used as the sales centre for the project.  Once completed the proposed 65 Story tower will rise above the other buildings in the area and offer panoramic views of either the City or Lake.  Take a look at what some of the South and West views will eventually look like! 

Rising 65 storeys above Yonge and Bloor will soon be the new Number One Bloor! Great Gulf Homes held an information session for a select group to unveil plans of their newest project. BloorCondos was there to learn more about the Hariri Pontarini designed building.

Interior units will be designed by the world renown and Toronto based interior design firm; Cecconi Simone. The tower will be divided into 3 categories, offering different suite features at varying price points. Units will approximately 9″ high in height and offer pre-engineered flooring throughout. (More on that in future posts)

Residents will also have access to an impressive amenity space spread over two floors! Some of the features include an indoor/outdoor pool, beautiful landscaped outdoor terraces with fireplaces, and a sculptured garden to name a few.

In the coming weeks will be sharing more details on Number One Bloor. To learn more, check back often, or send us an email!
