The second condo project moving forward in Yorkville is The Conservatory Groups Milan Condo! Located across from MTV’s Masonic Temple at Yonge and Church the project is calling for 37 floors. But before the views can be had, demolition of the existing parking lot must first take place!
Here are a few pictures of the work from earlier in the month, click on the thumnail for a larger image:
The BloorCondos team recently got an early look at The Yorkville Condominiums, the latest condo to launch in the neighbourhood! Located at 32 Davenport Rd, the building will be approx. 31 storeys and will be home to 238 units. Lifetime Developments has hired the the architectural firm of Rudy Wallman to design The Yorkville Condominiums. Mr. Wallman has been on a hot streak having designed X2 (near by), Lumiere on Bay St and Bisha in the entertainment district. The bold design he’s incorporated into The Yorkville are a much needed change for the traditional box and glass design seen throughout the City!
Below is a photo from the event of the model:
Look for The Yorkville to launch in early 2011! Contact the BloorCondos team to be notified for initial launch.
Most of the posts on BloorCondos comes from the perspective of a Realtor…for this one we get to hear from an actual (non real estate selling) resident on her experience of how the “Greener Bloor” has changed her perspective on the area!
Enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the photos of Bloor streets new look! Story and photos by Marisa Falconi!
Living at Yonge and Bloor for 2 years has allowed me to become pretty familiar with the area. Up to date, I have lived all over the downtown core for 7 years, and although I moved away from Yonge and Bloor 2 years ago, I’ve watched it evolve throughout the construction and chaos into its current state. My main question, and a thought I’m sure is on many Torontonians minds: “Was it all worth it?”
In 2006, I had just purchased my first condo at Signatures on Bloor and I couldn’t be more excited about living in one of the hottest spots in the city. A year later, however, I was miserable. Concrete walls blocked my view at all angles and the second I stepped out my front lobby, hoards of people rushed by in a constant, pushy stream. The construction didn’t help ether. I knew the city was attempting to create a greener Bloor, but no amount of “greenifying” was going to justify the jack hammer awakenings every day at 4 am, not to mention what seemed like an endless traffic jam right outside my front door. I knew moving to Yonge and Bloor meant living in the jam-packed fast lane, but I had no idea it meant giving up my peace, tranquility and ability to turn left. Read the rest of this entry »

Chaz on Charles will be the newest condo to launch in the Yorkville neighbourhood! On Tuesday, the BloorCondos team attended the “brokers only” event for this new project. Having hardly heard of the condos developer, Jason Fane, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect. Thankfully there’s good news and there’s better news…
The good news – learning how Mr. Fane has over 40 years of international real estate experience with dozens of apartment and commercial buildings in Toronto and New York State. The better news – hearing about the fresh concepts him and David McComb of Edenshaw Homes have for the condo!
The big emphasis with Chaz Condos is creating a social neighbourhood. A lot of the amenities are there to help connect residents of the building. Take for example the “Chaz Club” (pictured above) located on the 36th and 37th floor! The club will be 2 storeys high with a Grand Room, Lounge and Bar offering panoramic views to the south of the City. For those with a more competitive side, there will be a state of the art computer gaming arena for residents to battle for gaming glory rights! A first in Toronto will be it’s 3-D screening room featuring the very latest in 3-D viewing technology.
Chaz will be joining the likes of CASA, X and X2 condos on Charles St. The location is just far enough on the outer boundary of Yorkville to not be paying the “high-end” price often seen in Yorkville yet still put you in walking distance of all that the luxurious community has to offer! It’s also steps from the Bloor/Yorkville subway station!
Contact us to buy into this exciting project during the VIP sales period. All worksheet must be received by August 9th 2010 and on a first come first serve basis!
