NorthCore, a boutique 16-storey mixed-use residence, is the first condo launched along the Yonge and Sheppard node in a decade.
Developers Fieldgate Urban and Westdale Properties announced the condo will front onto Sheppard Ave. West, with retail anchoring the building and one to three bedroom units.
Among the various amenities, a creative hub will be a space that meets the needs of today’s remote workers, younger professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives. The rooms feature spaces for recording content, performing music, as well as lounge seating where residents can brainstorm ideas and create.
The creative hub
“North York is a bustling, exciting neighbourhood in Toronto, and with NorthCore, we’re creating an even stronger civic identity for the area,” says Mitchell Cohen, chief operating officer of Westdale Properties. “More than ever, the first consideration for buyers is, simply, location.”
Critical to the building’s design is privacy and creating a sense of enclosure for residents. Most of the balconies are recessed and integrated within the façade. The outdoor courtyard will also connect directly to the lush Albert Standing Park, extending residents’ connections to nature.
“In many ways, NorthCore embodies all the great attributes of North York, transitioning seamlessly between the high-rise towers on Yonge Street to the lower density to the west,” says Mansoor Kazerouni, director of global buildings, IBI Group. The building mediates between these two unique scales of the city and brings a new level of urbanity.”
