Are You Looking to Add More JOY to Your Life?
By Jen Taylor on Apr 20, 2015
After the success of their development, LOVE Condominiums, Gemterra Developments Corporation is planning yet another beautiful building, JOY Condominiums, in the up-and-coming Sheppard Avenue corridor. Nestled amongst some of Scarborough’s oldest historical buildings, surrounded by beautiful parks, and just steps away from excellent amenities and public transportation, JOY Condos is ideally located for young professionals, new couples, and downsizing families.
JOY Condos is a 20-storey tower with two townhome blocks, and is comprised of 282 units. Turner Fleischer Architects and interior designers Tanner Hill Incorporated have returned to lend their expertise to Gemterra’s next Canadian development. Turner Fleischer has a reputation for innovation and are well-known in Toronto for their contribution to mixed-use projects, such as the restoration and renovation of Maple Leaf Gardens, as well as a number of residential and sustainable projects.
Together, the JOY Condos team will produce a building catered towards individuals looking to live in a contemporary environment with opportunities to relax, entertain, and stay fit. After working out in the fully-equipped gym or indoor pool, residents can unwind in the building’s relaxing hot tub and sauna area. Residents can also entertain guests and enjoy the sweeping views on the landscaped green roof and BBQ patio, or retreat to the activity area and billiard room for a night of fun. JOY’s Guest Suite is also available for friends and family members visiting from out of town.
JOY at Kennedy & Sheppard
JOY Condos is located on the edge of the Sheppard corridor, a budding neighbourhood with a rich history, park spaces, and convenient amenities. This area was originally known as Agincourt Village and was comprised of Victorian farmhouses and Edwardian homes, some of which are still standing today. The Patterson farmhouse hints at the neighbourhood’s rich history and is still located at 4158 Sheppard Avenue East, next to the Knox Presbyterian Church.
JOY is located just steps from the Agincourt Mall, which is home to a bakery, grocery store, Shoppers Drug Mart, several banks, and a florist. The Chartwell Shopping Centre is also an excellent neighbourhood secret. Here, residents can find fresh vegetables and fruit at the Chinese supermarket, or enjoy authentic Dim Sum and Bubble Tea in the mall’s food court. The development is also within walking distance of the Beer Store, LCBO, Agincourt Library, the Agincourt recreation centre, a medical building, and a number of great schools.
The family-friendly neighbourhood also features the Tam O’Shanter Golf Club, as well as the Stephen Leacock Park and Community Recreation Centre, which is now home to a newly renovated turf pad, a track, and dance studio. The Centre offers a number of recreational programs including arts and crafts, dance, sport, youth programs, fitness classes, billiards, and camps to keep families active and healthy.
Residents are also only a short walk from a number of green spaces including Agincourt Park, a community meeting place featuring fully lit baseball diamonds, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, lawn bowling greens, and playgrounds. Ron Watson Park, North Bridlewood Park, Timberbank Park, and Havendale Park are also perfect for a run, a picnic, or simply enjoying the scenery.
When it comes to transit and transportation, JOY is situated just a few minutes from the Agincourt GO Station and a short drive from Highway 401. The condo is ideally located for those looking to commute into the city or spend a weekend in cottage country.
