Park Road is a new 27-storey flatiron condo named after the street on which it will rise. Capital Developments recently launched the project in Yorkville, with Diamond Schmitt designing the flatiron-style building that will overlook the Rosedale Ravine.
Renderings reveal a curved south façade of golden bronze metal and a series of stepped cantilevers on the building’s western façade. Wide pedestrian sidewalks, trees and seating also characterize the site, located just off Church and Bloor Streets.
“Park Road presented the opportunity to introduce a building with a pure and simple sculptural expression that takes advantage of its exceptional location in the city,” said Donald Schmitt, principal, Diamond Schmitt Architects. “We capitalized on the site’s distinct conditions to design a residential experience with a truly singular identity.”
Interior design firm Cecconi Simone used the delicate details and curves of the flatiron design as inspiration for its “monolithic approach” with neutral tones, natural materials.
“Our goal was to evoke a sense of luxury, sophistication, and exclusivity for both residents and visitors of Park Road,” said Elaine Cecconi, principal, Cecconi Simone.
“Everything from the custom vanity mirrors to the millwork add to the luxurious language that is crucial to the building’s character. We aspired to create a living experience that reflects the lifestyle associated with Yorkville, offering a sanctuary amidst the vibrant energy of the city.”
Inside the tower will be a grand lobby with a concierge service, a meditation room with a Himalayan salt wall, sauna, and steam room, a fitness studio, outdoor terrace, and a variety of entertainment rooms. On the 28th floor, two terraces with nature views, fire pits, barbecues and seating connect to the building interiors for communal gatherings.
“This is our second project in Yorkville, and we are thrilled to now contribute a new landmark to Toronto’s most iconic and established neighbourhood,” said Jordan Dermer, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Capital Developments. “With its distinct flatiron architecture, Park Road will truly be unlike anything else in this area.”
