Description
This 9 storey mid-rise will be constructed with a unique mix of brick, glass, and coloured panels, blending Toronto’s architectural history into a single project.
It will have a total of 91 units and a GFA of 70,022 squared feet. 719 Sheppard Ave West by Topfar Developments Ltd is going to continue bringing density to this region in North York, which is becoming the blueprint for new communities in the GTA.
The site is located on the southeast corner of Sheppard and Harlock, and it is surrounded by existing low-rise and mid-rise residential housing. This is what the new communities in the GTA are going to look like as people are being driven to tight-knit communities and mixed-use developments where they have everything at their fingertips.
This building will be a mixed-use development, which is the new standard in the real estate industry. This is because new home owners – as well as renters – are looking to live in a place where they have access to everything want at their fingertips.
Putting shops and restaurants inside the building also makes the overall community far more enticing and vibrant. People love store lined streets, and this new method of creating that environment is going to vastly improve the whole city in the future.
There are plans to implement indoor amenity space, so residents will be treated to a refuge where they can exercise or relax.
The units will also be outfitted with spacious balconies, providing plenty of outdoor space to grow a small garden or just get some fresh air.
There will be a lot of parking available with this development as well. This is because of the three level parking garage that will be underneath the building. There will be plenty of bicycle parking available as well, complete with an elevated and covered bike station.
Location & Neighbourhood
This project is located directly on the border of the Bathurst Manor and Wilson Heights neighbourhoods, which are both becoming hot spots for condos, evidenced by their sales over the past year. 51% of Bathurst Manor homes sales over the previous year were for condos, and that percentage increases in Wilson Heights at 61%.
As mentioned before, this surrounding region is the blueprint for new communities in the GTA. These mid-rise mixed use developments are going to create dense, walkable neighbourhoods with ample local amenities around.
The area’s main shopping centre is located just a few blocks from this project. It is outfitted with a Metro grocery store, as well as banks, restaurants and more. It’s no Eaton Centre, but it’s a great destination for picking up odds and ends.
There are a lot of different outdoor activities in which to partake in the vicinity. The Hinder Property is an expansive green space where you will forget that you are in the middle of urbanity. The towering trees will surround you as you walk down one of the many pathways.
