Broadview and Danforth, look out… because some Bold neighbours are moving in!  I was driving through the area the other day when I saw sandwich boards up for Bildcrests (think The Swanwick Lofts church conversion in the Upper Beaches) latest development – Bold Towns.

Not much is currently known about the town-homes but judging by the rendering above, it looks like a collection of possibly 14 units.  The Bold Towns will be built on a vacant Broadview Ave parking lot, on the east side just north of Pretoria Ave.  Here’s what many may recognize the site to look like in the past:

Sitting at approximately 3 stories tall, I like the look the towns will add to the area… after all, anything is much better than what’s above!  The strip of Danforth (at Broadview) has really come to life in the past 5 years with Shoppers Drugmart opening up on the north side and a variety of new restaurants setting up shop in the area.  And of course, let’s not forget the accessibility of the area with the Danforth Subway Station and the on ramp to the DVP less than a block away.

It’s been a little more than a year since the Riverside Townhomes launched on Broadview at Queen St. East! Last week I passed by the site to find demolition well underway.  Check out some photos of the site below:

Earlier in the week, I recieved my brokers invite to the launch of Riverside Towns!  The invite shared more info about the project including:

• All brick and stone exteriors
• clean, modern interiors
• 9ft high smooth ceilings
• engineered hardwood floors
• European inspired kitchens with stone counters
• garden patios, balconies and rooftop terraces
• stainless steel appliances
• all gas cooking
• designer styled modern baths

The launch is happening this Monday, November 1st!  I’ll be attending the event and if you’d like to join…feel free to call or email…I’d love to help!  You can check out more pics of the project at my previous post!

Goodbye Leslieville Lofts…Hello Riverside Towns!

Back in 2008 Lamb Development Corp and Hyde Park Homes (think The King East) had plans of building Leslieville Lofts at Queen E and Broadview.  The plans were calling for a 9 story loft to be constructed on the site…only problem was, the City and the residents weren’t behind them.  The City had issues with height and the residents weren’t too keen on having a project in Riverside being named Leslieville (Leslieville starts a few blocks East). The site has sat vacant for the past few years with not much changing.

And now the good news…

On a recent sushi lunch in the area, I noticed new signage posted over the vacant building announcing the new RIVERSIDE TOWNS!  The redesigned site will eventually be home to one and two bedroom stacked town homes! According to the application amendment (pictured in the gallery below) approximately 65 units will make up the Riverside Towns.

Early renderings show the exterior taking the shape of a red brick Victorian home, with the potential of rooftop terraces for upper units and patios for the lower units!  Based on the projects registration page, units should range from 500 to 1,100 + square feet! No launch date has been announced, but if you’d like to be kept in the loop with this project …give me a call or send me an email, I’d love to help!
