Today we got our first look of what South Hill on Madison will one day look like!  BuzzBuzzHome released the rendering on twitter earlier today.  It’s hard to tell which way the building will front in relation to Madison lofts next door, yet it’s still better than the vacant lot that currently sits on the site!

South Hill Condos will sit at the base of Casa Loma and have the Dupont subway station literally minutes away.  A brand new eco park is also in the works for the are and will be developed on the vacant parking lot to the south of Macpherson!

I was driving down Davenport the other day, and noticed a massive ad for the South Hill Condos on Madison by the Burnac Group!

This project is the long awaited answer to the vacant land next to the Madison Lofts (also by the Burnac Group) pictured above. For years, the site has been sitting empty and boarded up.  There isn’t much info currently known about the project but at a community meeting back in October 2011 it was mentioned that the building is going for a proposed height of 21.95 m.

The Burnac Group is no stranger to the area having built and completed the incredible Madison Lofts directly south of the site.  It was here that they transformed an old hydro building into a collection of unique hard loft spaces.

River City has been making a lot of headway these past few months, and because of it, they’re now gearing up for the release of their penthouse collection!  We still don’t know all of the exact details but some key features I was able to find out are: 10′ ceilings, Saucier and Perrotte signature staircases, large rooftop terraces with stunning views of the city or open green space and gas hook ups!

As you can see from the photo above, construction of phase 1 is well underway! Even driving through the area you can see signs of the new public spaces, parks and roads coming together! Read the rest of this entry »

Finally… a new condominium project in Roncesvalles! In an area with very few new construction projects to choose from comes Triumph Developments newest project – Howard Park!

Appropriately named for it it’s location (24-66 Howard Park Ave) Howard Park Condos will be built in two phases, 8 and 10 storeys each!  Howard Park is Triumph’s second project in the area…the first being Roncesvalles Lofts.  Located at 25 Ritchie, it’s most recognized by it’s lime green and black cladding.  I’ve shown units many times and was impressed by the two storey suites, roof top terraces and unique outdoor hallways.

Howard Park will be built a block south of 25 Ritchie. This gives potential purchasers the opportunity to see Triumphs past work and to get a feel of how they build… which is a very important componet for purchasing pre construction.

Offically, not much is known about the interiors at Howard Park but I was able to find some info about exterior. RAW Design has been given the task of creating the look of the two condos…and based on the initial renderings, I like! currently, a collection of commercial properties sit on the street, but in the not so distant future, they will be transformed into a mixed use building with retail at grade with over 200 units.  The renderings show the two buildings connected, with a water fall of terraces slopping back. I particularly like the use of greenery in the design.  It reminds me a level from the classic arcade game “Q Bert” with an environmental twist!  Check out more photos below:

Yesterday I took to the streets of Trinity and Eastern to show exactly what the area has to offer…incase you missed it, check it out here! Today I’m taking it a step closer to home and looking at the features Trinity Lofts will offer. The 8 story building (shown above) will have a total of 81 lofts plus 2 town homes. Similar to SYNC and 2 Gladstone, units will be 9ft high with exposed concrete ceilings (except areas with bulkheads, as required to accommodate architectural, structural, mechanical or OBC conditions). Floors will be pre-finished engineered hardwood throughout, except for tiled area as per plan.

Expect contemporary kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, porcelain subway tile backsplash with an under mount sink! They’ve stayed away from the frivolous amenities and kept it simple with an equipped exercise room, furnished terrace with shared BBQ, dog wash room, a bike share system and an auto share parking space. Parking is available but is only available on units over $310,900 BUT with the TTC up the street and the various transportation sharing programs in the building, it’s not such a bad thing. Also without a car (or parking) you may actually be able to qualify for more of a mortgage as you’ll have less financial commitments hindering approval!

From Thursday April 30th to Wednesday May 5th, they’ll be accepting work sheets from Realtors who’ve been invited to sell at the project. For this early launch, roughly 55 units are being released so buyers are encouraged to pick 3 units of choice. On Thursday May 6th, they’ll be confirming successful worksheet and scheduling times to sign the agreement of purchase and sale for Saturday May 8th (purchasers must be present for signing!!!) The deposit structure is $5,000 on signing with the balance of 5% in 30 days, 5% in 90 days, 5% in 180 days and 5% on occupancy. Parking is $30,000 for units $310,900 and higher, with locker/bike lockers at $5,000 and $2,000 respectively.

I do have floor plans and price lists but am not emailing them out, I’d much rather meet in person to better explain the process and go over the details (plus usually it’s just other Realtors trying to get info for their blogs/site… as much as I love them, they tend to not hire me to represent them). There’s tons of amaaaaaaazing cafes in the Distillery where we can meet to discuss buying a unit at Trinity…feel free to call or email to set up an appointment, I’d love to help!

Floor plans and prices for Trinity Lofts have now been released…instead of yapping about prices and layouts, I decided to shoot a short video showing the lofts advantageous location to 51 Division, Distillery District,   King East  and Corktown to name a view.  From today until Thursday they’ll be accepting worksheets, if you’d like to call Trinity Lofts home…call me.  I’d love to help!

The Streetcars on the move again…Streetcar Developments that is! A few posts back, I shared some details about the lofts and in the coming week I’ll have even more! Floor plans, prices and of course renderings should all be coming shortly. As they’ve done with past projects, Realtors who sold for them will have one of the first opportunities to sell to their clients before the general launch. According to their latest mail out “TRINITY will offer the unique high-end designer finishes that past Streetcar followers have come to appreciate: 9′ smooth ceilings, modern kitchens and bathrooms with stone counters throughout, stainless steel appliances and pre-engineered wood flooring.”

Stay tuned for more updates during the week…feel free to contact me if you’d like to be part of the launch!
