Residents who move into 2Fifteen’s luxury rentals in Toronto’s affluent Forest Hill will not only live in a highly sought-after community, but they will undoubtedly enjoy all the bells and whistles of five-star-hotel living.
Perfect for what Bryan Levy, chief executive officer of DBS Developments, calls, “right-sizers,” 2Fifteen’s latest offering (at 215 Lonsdale Road) is the ideal location for everyone from working professionals and retirees to those simply looking for the freedom of the lock-and-leave lifestyle with all the amenities of top-notch living. “Everything about 2Fifteen is special and sets a standard for luxury rental living in the city,” says Levy. “It’s an experience-based lifestyle that you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in Toronto.”
It truly starts with the amenities, which are certainly plentiful in this building. They’re indicative of what you’d find in an ultra-classy hotel. “2Fifteen is really curated for a higher level of customer service,” says Levy. Take the 24-hour concierge, which is available to residents for everything from parcel management to baggage assistance. Wellness enthusiasts will revel in the state-of-the-art fitness facility with instructor-led yoga classes, his-and-her saunas and other offerings to keep residents healthy. Folks who call the building home can sign up for a car-detailing service, which also gives them access to the house car, a drop-off and pick-up service available on weekends to drive residents to and from their dinner reservations. Those who want to indulge in a fine-dining experience can enjoy the party room, which is available with catered services from well-known Toronto catering company, Food Dudes. And residents who wish to try their hand at creating their own culinary masterpiece can take advantage of cooking classes with renowned chefs.
While the amenities are abundant and super advantageous for those who live at 2Fifteen, there’s something else that makes this opulent rental building such an absolute joy to call home — it promotes community living at its finest. “We frequently host a plethora of events for residents in the party room,” says Levy. “It really creates a sense of community. Post-COVID-19, people are really craving that social aspect we all missed during lockdowns. At 2Fifteen, residents can come and grab a complimentary coffee and hang out with like-minded people and ultimately create great friendships. Residents often look forward to our wine tastings and cookie tastings. It’s an exciting place to live and that’s really special.”
What’s also special about 2Fifteen? Its beautiful design and architecture are unmatched in the city. “The level of finishes and quality of 2Fifteen is a project unlike anything Toronto has seen. We want people to have pride in the place where they live, so we are cognizant to include details that are of similar — or better — quality than their previous homes,” Levy explains. “This includes things you wouldn’t normally see in high-rise living, such as solid-wood herringbone floors, bronze oven hoods and full-sized Gaggenau appliances.” Designed by the admired and distinguished firm Wise Nadel Design, every detail has been meticulously elevated, from the exterior (which boasts handmade brick imported from Denmark by Petersen Tegl) to the absolutely incredible lobby that features works from Canadian artist Anthony Valin and lighting fabricator and designer Zac Ridgely. “Our approach is to have a quality, professionally managed building unlike any other luxury rental in Toronto,” says Levy. “That was our goal. And I think we achieved it.”
