Ten York Condos is a glass vision in the sky designed by award-winning architect Rudy Wallman of Wallman Architects, creators of some of the most striking urban designs in the city. Signature designer suites by the ultra stylish design firm II BY IV Design Associates captivate with their imagination, elegance and timeless designs. The finest of features and finishes in the spacious suites will appeal to even the most discerning owners. An abundance of luxurious amenities make Ten York Condominium Residences a charmed world unto itself. Prominently at the entrance to the city overlooking Lake Ontario. Key attractions are mere steps away – the Air Canada Centre, Maple Leaf Square, Rogers Centre and Harbourfront, with direct highway access to all parts of the city.
Ten York Condos, the proposed 75-storey condo unveiled earlier this week by Tridel and Build Toronto, is poised to become one of the city’s most iconic new towers.
Every so often a building captivates the imagination of a nation. A truly iconic building that becomes a defining pinnacle of greatness. TEN YORK is just such a building … a 224 metre (735 feet) glass vision in the sky. Rising above it all. Steps from the waterfront. At the intersection of everything the city has to offer.
The location of TEN YORK is enough to inspire wonder and awe all on its own. An architectural marvel, this statuesque beauty soars dramatically up from a triangular-shaped wedge alongside Toronto’s major city artery. This is only part of what makes TEN YORK one of the most prominent locations in downtown Toronto overlooking Lake Ontario. It is also conveniently close to the subway, GO Train and Union Station. TEN YORK residents have the city at their feet and the world at their doorstep
But the site on which it’s being built posed a serious challenge for architect Rudy Wallman. The property is wedged (it’s literally shaped like a triangle) between the Gardiner Expressway and the York St. off-ramp at the northwest corner of Harbour St. and York.
Ten York Condominium Resisences is slated to go on sale next spring with construction expected to begin in 2013. Anticipated occupancy will be in 2016. The project will include 774 suites range from studios to three-bedroom suites (or ones that can be easily converted from two-bedroom to three-bedroom layouts). The Toronto design firm II by IV is handling the interiors.
Ten York’s amenities, which will be located within the building’s wedge-shaped base, include an outdoor infinity pool on the deck of the podium. There will also be a gym and spa facilities and a party room.
Ten York Condominiums is the first joint residential project in which it has taken on a private developer as its partner.
The corporation’s mandate is to maximize the value of underutilized real estate previously owned by the city, and in doing so generate new jobs and property tax revenue while reinvesting in the local community.
Ten York’s considerable height and its awkward position between the Gardiner and the York ramp mean residents will enjoy unobstructed views east and west.
