Last month, Devron launched 101 Spadina, a 39-storey residential community inspired by the art deco style and history of the neighbourhood. A mix of modern and classic architecture, masonry construction is aimed to distinguish the building from the mass of glass high-rises.

“The perception of condo living in Toronto is not ideal, and sadly, people have become used to low standards,” said Devron President Pouyan Safapour. “We want to show Torontonians that condos can be beautiful, functional and livable long-term homes that they can take pride in.”

Located at the intersection of Spadina Avenue and Queen Street West, the development will also feature a 10,000-square-foot public park to help create more green space for the city and condo residents.

The 375 suites range from one to three bedrooms of between 457 square feet and 1,466 square feet. Amenity spaces feature a multipurpose lounge and bar, private dining lounge, media lounge, co-working library lounge, changing rooms, steam sauna rooms, yoga studio, fitness studio, kids zone, rooftop terrace, rooftop dining and lounge, and an outdoor rooftop lounge.

“Toronto needs more buildings that will contribute to the city’s livability and make people want to stay and lay roots in the city. We aim to do just that with 101 Spadina,” said Safapour. “We hope our community will become the standard in downtown Toronto living, not the exception.”
