Lifetime Developments and Pinedale Properties recently launched XO2 Condos, with plans for 410 units spread across 19 storeys in the King and Dufferin neighbourhood of Toronto.
A theme throughout the building and its 18,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity space is health and wellness. The developer partnered with Freemotion Fitness Lab to bring in higher-level cardio and strength-training equipment that offers a content-driven experience that is interactive and immersive.
The 3,500-square-foot Freemotion Fitness Lab outfitted in partnership with connected fitness experts.
The developer also partnered with Clear Inc., a Toronto-based air and water filtration technology company that recently received approval from The Israeli Ministry of Health, passing initial testing at its facilities in California and achieving 99.99 per cent effectiveness in eliminating viruses, such as SARS COV-2.
XO2 will also feature a rooftop bocce court and urban parkette, a children’s den and outdoor playground, a games zone, a dedicated golf simulation room, and a co-working facility.
The Think Tank co-working facility will feature high-speed WIFI, private workstations, a private meeting room and communal-style seating.
XO2 follows its sister building XO Condos, which launched in 2019. Turner Fleischer Architects designed the space with interior designer Tomas Pearce and landscape architect Strybos Barron King.
“XO2 has been designed with two key elements in mind — the next generation of home buyers seeking ownership in a highly accessible area and addressing the evolving needs of prospective residents in order to lead a health-conscious way of life,” says Brian Brown, principal, Lifetime Developments.
Toronto artist and designer Matthew Del Degan will act as an artist collaborator on the XO2 project. He launched the Toronto-based grassroots initiative Lovebot to disrupt robotic routines through art and illuminate compassion in urban locales.
“Our love for this neighbourhood runs deep given our history at this location, and in Liberty Village, going back to 2004,” says Brown. “Matthew will be bringing indoor and outdoor sculptures, as well as murals which will be integrated within the communal living environments, designed to inspire residents and complement the creative spirit of the community and most importantly to show our love and passion for this incredible neighbourhood.”
Inside, units consist of one, two and three bedrooms, in addition to a small collection of two-storey live/work townhomes. XO2 will also feature over 15,000 square feet of new retail and commercial space and commercial parking.
