The Deoxyribonucleic Acid (or DNA) of Canderel Stoneridge latest project, DNA3, is really starting to come together! The developer is no stranger to the King West/Liberty Village area having already built DNA, DNA2 and The Massey Harris Lofts! For DNA3 I particularly like the rectangular highlights placed along the condos facade as shown in the rendering above.

Approximately 600 units will be constructed on the King and Shaw site with suite finishes designed by Cecconi Simone. Other amenity spaces will include an outdoor terrace space, sundeck and misting station, private lounges and dining areas, a state of the art fitness facility and relaxing yoga lounge.

You may remember me talking about DNA3 back in October as the site was also used as the headquarters for LG Fashion Week…since then, the catwalk has been cleared and the curtains closed to make way for a new star. With all the interest surrounding DNA3, I’ll be posting more details as well as preview opportunities in the coming weeks!

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!

A few months ago, I wrote about SYNC lofts by Streetcar Developments and experienced the same results as my 2 Gladstone post…tooooons of interest! In my opinion, Streetcar seems always be one step ahead of others in the mid-rise development business.

With 2 Gladstone they launched a soft loft that’s designed to work with the area instead of over power it. Its design and awesome location (Queen West at Gladstone) helped launch 2 Gladstone with strong sales. For SYNC it was the incorporation of high-tech gadgets that attracted many purchasers.

I was excited earlier in the month when rumours started circulating about a 3rd project (in the past year) launching from them… and even happier today to see it confirmed! Trinity Lofts is the newest project by Streetcar, with a location right in the thick of a few interesting up and coming areas. Located on the North West corner of Trinity and Eastern Avenue, the lofts will border the Distillery District, Downtown East and the West Don Lands!

Very few details are known at this time, but I’ve heard roughly 80 units will be available, spread over 8 floors. From my experience, more and more buyers are expressing interest in the intimate design of a low rise building as opposed to many of the tall towers popping up. It’s this kind of design that Streetcar excels so well in! I haven’t seen any renderings yet, but I’m very curious to see how the lofts merge with the century old architecture that can be found on neighbouring streets.

I’ll be keeping an eye on Trinity Lofts with blog posts as soon as more official info is known! If you’d like to be kept in the loop for the Trinity project, send me an email or give me a call… I’d love to help!

The wait is over!  Plans for Number One Bloor have finally been made public, and I’ve been getting a ton of interest on the development.  I won’t be spending too much time writing about it on SavelBlogs.com but head on over to BloorCondos.com for all the latest on Number One Bloor and other projects in the Bloor and Yonge area.

River City has recently released its newest selection of units…The Penthouse Collection! The units come in a variety of sizes, views and options. For some layouts purchasers can completely customize their space!

The collection is organized into 3 categories: Penthouse level/16th floor of King St. Building, Terrace level/9th floor of King St. Building and Penthouse level/6th floor of River St. Building. The terrace units are quite impressive with massive outdoor spaces perfect for those who enjoy outdoor entertaining. The River St. building also has a variety of options including a few 2 story units with 400+ square foot terraces!

The other addition to the River City project is the completion of the Saucier + Perrotte designed model Kitchen and Bathroom in their sales centre! The Saucier + Perrotte team are the winners of 5 Govener General Medals in Architecture and were awarded “Best Firm In Canada” by the Royal Architerctural Institute of Canada in 2009! Plans in the kitchen are calling for an open concept style with stone countertops and brand-name Energy Star stainless-steel appliances to name a few. Pictures say more than words so see for yourself (below) how the model kitchen will look!
