Developers RioCan Living, Metropia, and Capital Developments recently celebrated the topping-off of 11 Yorkville in Toronto.
Completion of the structural elements comes nearly fours years after the 65-storey condo broke ground in November 2020. Residency is expected later this year.
The towers of Manhattan inspired the design for the mixed-use building that will bring 698 residences and more than 25,000-square feet of retail space to the Yorkville neighbourhood.
Boutique fitness and wellness community Sweat and Tonic will open its third location on the second floor, occupying 18,000 square feet with more than 200 classes.
“From the onset, this project was never about another luxury residence, it was about preserving the soul of Yorkville,” said Metropia President Samuel Frum. “It’s one of the last chances to live on Toronto’s most beloved streets, where every corner tells a story, and every step embraces the neighbourhood’s rich history.”
Carlo Timpano, president of Capital Developments, says the tower represents “the pinnacle of how luxury living looks in Toronto.” Architecture firm Sweeny&Co was inspired by New York’s iconic 1920s skyscrapers.
The project has sold out, with the exception of a few newly released penthouse units. Cecconi Simone crafted the interiors, which include suite kitchens that have a two-level black marble island with built-in wine trough, a wine fridge and a marble range hood enclosure.
A new 14-metre-wide parkette will connect Cumberland Street to Yorkville Avenue, adding to the public spaces in Yorkville, which include the Rose Garden and the Village of Yorkville Park.
“RioCan Living’s goal is to build dynamic developments that enhance communities in Canada’s major markets, added Kalliopi Karkas, VP of RioCan Living. “We are excited to see 11 Yorkville seamlessly integrate into this neighbourhood and make its mark on the city.”
