Rising on Burnhamthorpe Road West at Duke of York Boulevard across from Mississauga City Hall, Citygate One is a magnificent 35-storey tower, with its striking symmetry to its Sister-Tower, Citygate Two, and articulated cascade design – virtually all glass – makes a distinctive addition to the city skyline.

I’ve just listed one of the largest penthouses at the Citygate community! Approximately 1800 sqft create the space for this 2 storey Penthouse that overlooks Mississaugas City Centre and Square One Shopping Mall. A natural stone foyer greets visitors when they enter the condo.  A storage closet and powder room are conveniently positioned off to the side.  The layout then opens up to a spacious array of living, dining and kitchen space.  The main level feels even larger with its 10ft ceilings and crown moldings above and hardwood flooring in main areas. When the firework celebrations go off below, you get the best seat in the house in front of your private fire place that elegantly rises from the floor to ceiling and overlooks the public square.  The balcony comes equipped with a natural gas hook up for bbq’s!

The kitchen is well appointed with a roomy layout and tons of space for cooking.  Slabs of granite make up the counter tops and island with stainless steel appliances and a wine cooler accompanying it’s high end finishes.

On the second level is where you’ll find a second office, play area (which can be converted) and two bedrooms.  The laundry area has it’s own room with storage.  The master bedroom features his and hers closets, an ensuite bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and tons of natural light!  There is a second 4 piece bathroom on the upper level as well.

Parking and locker are also included in the purchase price! Maintenance only $.56/sqft AND hydro is included, in many new buildings hydro is extra! Unique to Citygate, residents also have use of a shuttle service to the Cooksville GO station. Check out a video from inside the penthouse below:

This building is centrally located in Mississauga and is only a short walk to local strip plazas, schools, parks and other amenities. It’s located close to the city’s centre, where residents can enjoy visiting the Square One Shopping Centre, with over 350 specialty shops and services, the Mississauga Civic Centre and the Central Library and community centre, all within a single mile’s radius.

During last weeks “peak and enter” at the newly completed Don River Park… I stopped by the River City development to take a few photos of phase one under construction!

The 7 storey River St. building is well underway and already taking shape.

The two storey townhomes line the base of the building along River St.

Here’s a close up of the King St. building… eventually the two will be connected by a bridge!

Interlocking stone was used in the construction of sidewalks and roads for the area!

Looking for more updates from River City?  Waterfront Toronto recently relocated one of its web cameras to capture the construction progress of the development! The web camera, which was previously used to capture the construction of Sherbourne Common north, is now on the rooftop of Edge Loft condominiums at 625 Queen Street East.  Still images of the site are taken every 15 minutes and can be viewed on Waterfront Toronto’s construction webcam page and on the River City page.

Images are archived and once the project is complete, a two minute time lapse video is created that showcases the transformation of the project from start to finish.

Encore at the Met is a 33 storey condominium complex at Carlton and Yonge.  Completed in 2008, the building features a long list of amenities that include a concierge, fitness facilities, pool, hot tub and a guest suite to name a few!

I currently have a spacious 650 sq.ft suite available for sale.  The condo is located on the 29^th floor and is a one bedroom plus a den. It faces south and is positioned to give the residents sweeping views of the downtown core, from the lake to the East to the City in the West!

The dark hardwood floors are the first thing to catch your eyes when entering the suite.  Off to the left of the entrance is a home office and a open concept kitchen to the right.  The kitchen is well equipped with tons of storage space as well as stainless steel appliances.  The dining room and living room are combined.  There is a walkout to the south facing balcony from the living room that makes for a perfect place to unwind at the end of the day!

The bathroom and master bedroom are separate so guests can use the washroom without entering the bedroom (a big plus).  There is an ensuite washer and dryer located in it’s own separate room.  A parking space and locker are also included in the $420,000 purchase price!
