Description
Toronto’s Garden District neighbourhood will be welcoming a new development ideal for students and business professionals alike. The project will replace three existing commercial, mixed use buildings.
139 Church Street Condos is an expansive development from Pemberton Group that will span the addresses of 139-141, 145, 147 and 149 Church Street and 18 and 20 Dalhousie Street.
The project is notably slated to boast ample retail space at floor levels. The mixed-use nature of the site — as well as its central location — makes it ideal for investors as well as a wide demographic of Torontonians looking to live in the area.
The modern architecture of this building will ensure it fits right in with the other skyscrapers of the downtown core. The building will boast chic glass paneling making for a luxurious yet minimalist aesthetic. The grandiose project will also involve a split design.
Two towers will emerge from a podium that is made up of a 4 storey structure and 6 storey structure. The building to the north side will stand 28 storeys tall, with the south side’s tower standing 49 storeys tall.
This large development will house a generous 414 units, comprised of a healthy mix of layouts. The project is slated to include 212 one-bedroom units, 160 two-bedroom units and 42 three (or more) bedroom units.
Residents will have access to 115 parking spaces in a four level underground parking garage. Cyclists will also have ample room to park their bikes, with 414 bicycle spaces on premises. These spaces will cater to residents, visitors and employees and shoppers of the retail spaces.
In total, the project will span a total gross floor area of 331,528 square feet This is made up of a 326,362 square metre residential gross floor area, and a non residential gross floor area of 5,167 square metres.
Location & Neighbourhood
The Garden District is the ideal location for students in the city, as it provides easy access to all of the city’s major universities like University of Toronto and OCAD. Specifically, Ryerson University is mere steps away from the site. What better a way to ensure comfort for students than a location so convenient for early and late classes? The site placement allows for mid-day coffee breaks between classes, weeknight dinner and drinks, and late night studying at the campus library. Truly, this is a student-friendly project.
In addition to being walking distance from universities, this development is also a quick 5 minute walk to the Queen subway station. This means easy access for both portions of the Line 1 route, as well as seamless travel throughout the TTC’s different lines like it’s route servicing Bloor-Danforth. Countless TTC bus routes are also nearby.
Young professionals will also be attracted to this development due to its walkability, and proximity to the downtown core career hubs like the Financial District and Entertainment District. Whether you want to hop on the subway or walk to a nearby joint, restaurants and shops are minutes away from the site. From the restaurants surrounding the central Dundas Square, to the countless shopping and dining options along Queen Street, the options are truly endless when it comes to weeknight dinner and drinks, or weekend day dates.
