Amenities : 8 Wellesley Residences on Yonge is proposed as a 55-storey condominium structure, with a 50-storey tower anchored by an expansive five-storey podium. The site is currently occupied by a series of two-storey retail and restaurant units, some of which are designated as heritage structures. The proposal moves to restore the heritage facades and incorporate them into the podium, for a look that is modern, yet reflects the area’s rich, historical roots.

512 residential units are proposed, with a mix that includes studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and three-bedroom units. Residents will have access to over 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity space in total.

Three levels of underground housing will include 47 visitors parking spaces. The project’s podium will contain retail at street level to preserve the active pedestrian culture along Yonge, while the residential lobby will be accessible from St. Nicholas Street, a quiet side street on the property’s western edge. This gives the condominium multiple benefits. an intimate and exclusive entrance, while still incorporating all the benefits of the thoroughly urban location is occupies.
