Description
This project will combine two high-rise towers and a selection of townhomes on a prime site just minutes from restaurants, the GO station and the Agincourt Mall. With a sizeable 551 units, this is a great opportunity to invest in a contemporary condominium in a growing part of the GTA. 23 Glen Watford Drive Condos is a pre-construction development in Scarborough’s Agincourt neighbourhood, proposed by Shiu Pong Group of Companies.
The immediate area around the site is also slated for development, with plans to incorporate an urban-inspired retail plaza and a senior’s home. Be first in line to call this pocket home as it actively transforms into a vibrant intersection that’s attractive to a wide range of residents.
The proposal for this condo project calls for two 28-storey residential towers connected by a two-storey podium. A range of unit styles is proposed, including six studio units, 222 one-bedroom units and 323 two-bedroom units. Ten two-storey townhomes are also expected to be included, accessible from street level.
Within the podium, residents will have access to over 15,000 square feet of indoor amenity space and 9,000 square feet of outdoor space, including a courtyard at grade, between the two towers. Kirkor Architects has signed on to design the structure.
This developer favours sleek, urban-inspired amenities in their buildings, so we predict this one will feature similar spaces. These communal facilities often include rooftop terraces and lounge areas with wet bars and fireplaces.
In addition, a new road is proposed for the site, which will eventually connect the residential component with a commercial plaza to the east, also slated for redevelopment. 571 parking spaces will be available for residents, housed in a three-level underground garage.
With a range of housing styles, contemporary amenities and an award-winning architectural firm at the helm, this project is sure to be a showstopper.
Location & Neighbourhood
Agincourt is a growing neighbourhood that puts you in close proximity to everything Scarborough has to offer.
With just a ten-minute walk to the GO station, bus routes and a quick drive to major highways, getting around here is easy, whether you’re running errands in the neighbourhood or commuting elsewhere in the region.
Scarborough Town Centre is a short distance away, serving as the district’s main retail and lifestyle hub. Anchored by big brand retailers such as Hudson’s Bay, Zara and Walmart Supercentre, it also features a cinema, GoodLife gym and a recently-modernized dining market.
The mall also acts as Scarborough’s main transit terminal, with a rapid transit station that connects directly to Toronto’s subway line. Not surprisingly, the area has grown and urbanized significantly over the past five to ten years, with an influx of condominium towers, master-planned communities and upscale office and retail space. The city has debated either expanding Toronto’s subway line into the region or implementing an extension of the rapid transit line, either of which will be a huge game changer for this east-end suburb.
