OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

The city is full of new developments and high end buildings, but these three luxury, turnkey residences — each with a limited number of available units — truly stand out.

Tridel has a reputation in Toronto — and across the country — as a leader in condominium living. There’s a reason its slogan is “Relax, it’s a Tridel,” because from point-of-sale to move-in, the homebuilders, who have been in business for more than 85 years, have always been there for its buyers. That’s why it’s no surprise why some of its key properties in the city only have a handful of units left for sale. The good news? There’s still time to snatch up one of these sought-after spaces. Just don’t sleep on this opportunity because these Tridel addresses are highly coveted.

If you’re a Pisces, Aquabella may be calling you home. With unobstructed views of open skies and Lake Ontario, this address exemplifies lakeside luxury. The 12-storey property gives residents direct access to pathways, water sports, Sugar Beach and views that will have you thinking you’re on vacation every day of the week. Almost like having a cottage in the heart of the city, while residents get the fresh air, water and blue skies they crave, they’re also just steps away from the downtown core and all its theatres, restaurants and culture. Whether you’re interested in a suite (ranging in size from 962 to 2,200 square feet) or a townhome, you’ll have access to the rooftop pool, fitness facility, party room and lounge. Cooler tones mirroring the nearby water create a soothing architectural vibe, and gourmet kitchens complete with gas stovetops and hidden front-panel fridges give residents a homey, warm feel.

Located in the heart of the Annex, this boutique nine-storey condominium serves up some serious sophistication with a relaxed resort vibe. The stunning white architecture captivates the streetscape with its modern contemporary design in the thick of a neighbourhood renowned for its eclectic mix of museums, heritage buildings and theatres — not to mention the city’s most famous castle, Casa Loma. Walk into the lobby and be greeted with a fireplace surrounded by warm metallic tones and modern but comfy furniture, perfect for gathering with visiting friends and family. Shared amenities include a fitness centre, party room and rooftop pool, complete with barbecue areas, luxe loungers and stunning views of Toronto. Forget about shoeboxes in the sky — units in this building are all generous, ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet and include a private outdoor patio. Perfect for home chefs and entertainers, the spacious kitchens include Miele appliances, large pantries and a custom island, ideal for extra seating.

Ideal for working professionals wanting walkability and ease of access to downtown, the Rosedale Valley and the highway, Via Bloor is a city-dweller’s dream. Serving up some major hotel-living vibes, these two towers (which are connected by a shared amenity space) boast a huge outdoor barbecue seating area with pool, two party rooms with outdoor seating, sauna, steam room, whirlpool, yoga studio and a massive fitness centre, complete with a spin and weight room, that overlooks Bloor Street. Home chefs will adore the upscale Miele appliances, kitchen island and gas stove, while those wanting a spa-like experience will relish the large bathrooms that can overlook the stunning tree canopy of Rosedale Valley.
