River City

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!

River City under Construction

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 »

River City Phase 3
Big news from the River City development in the West Don Lands… For starters, construction is well underway at Phase 1 and work is moving forward at Underpass Park, Don River Park and the Pan Am Village!
In keeping with the good news trend, Phase 2 has started releasing units to it’s VIP Realtor community and have had a great response thus far!
And now for the best news yet…The first design meeting for River City Phase 3 has taken place and it’s looking like the third tower may be as tall as 30 storeys!  Situated directly on the Don River Park, with views of the park, the lake and the downtown skyline… this is definitely going to be something many will want to get in on!

Don River Park
After spending a week in sunny Varadero,  the end of vacation and the start of work officially commenced with an update letter from the River City team!

The letter was sent out to all the purchasers and their Realtors in an effort to keep us up to date with progress on this changing part of Toronto.   To summarize the changes thus far:

- Commencing construction of Underpass Park, which saw work start in late November;
- Installing “silva cells” for the boulevard trees on Mill Street and elsewhere in the West Don Lands;
- Installing sanitary and storm sewers and watermains on Bayview Avenue;
- Continuing work on Don River Park, including a pavilion and park steps which are an integral feature of the park’s design that will enable visitors to easily navigate and take full advantage of the park’s
unique contours, elevations, walkways and boardwalks; and finally
- Prequalifying teams to design, build and finance the development of the section of the West Don Lands that will be home to the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Athlete’s Village.
The letter also went on to say “As for River City itself, we are now ready to proceed with construction as the technical drawings have been completed and trade tendering is now underway. Waterfront Toronto had advised us that the site preparatory work that needs to be done prior to our getting access to the site will be completed this spring, allowing us to begin construction in June. On this basis, we are confident that we will be able to deliver your new home to you within the time frame of our Agreements.”  Great news for purchasers excited about making the move!
As many may already know, another 3 phases are scheduled to launch with phase 2 rumored to be coming soon! Phase one is well over 80% sold but still has some great layouts remaining.  As an incentive to those interested in Phase 1, River City is offering an attractive 10% down payment (5% in 30 days and 5% in 150 days) followed by a final 5% on occupancy! Below are few of my favourite layouts available.  If you’d like to know more about prices and availability…give me a call or send me an email, I’d love to help!
PH1

Check out the progress at the Don River Park…what is no more than piles of dirt will soon be a 17 acre park in the West Don Lands part of the City (which is actually the East side of the City. Confusing, I know!).

In this video update, I take a look at the early evolution of the Don River Park. Once complete, the green space will link residents of River City to the future site of the Pan Am Village. See for yourself in the video above!

If you’re interested in calling River City home, give me a call or send me an email… I’d love to help!
