Urban chic and village friendliness come together perfectly at the Shops at Don Mills. This shopping and dining mecca is at the heart of a ground-breaking community at Don Mills and Lawrence Avenue East, where The Cadillac Fairview Corporation continues to develop the first planned community of its kind in the country – a brilliant place to live, eat, shop, work and play, all within a few pedestrian-friendly blocks.
And prospective residents are about to get an exciting new option: Flaire, a condominium under development by Cadillac Fairview Corporation and Fram Building Group, which will encompass two sculptural, 11-storey condo towers connected by a four-storey podium.
The Shops at Don Mills is an outdoor lifestyle destination that offers it all: innovative retailers, gourmet restaurants, office and professional space, and extensive guest services. The neighbourhood’s hub is a charming, European-inspired town square that’s the perfect place to connect with others in the community, whether to enjoy a chat and a cup of coffee, or for one of its frequent events, like Thursday night yoga, the annual TD Jazz Festival or the dance lessons currently in the planning phase. Presided over by the “Supernova” clock tower by celebrated Canadian author and artist Douglas Coupland, the square has a distinctive personality all its own.
The businesses here are as original as the neighbourhood itself, including Canada’s first Anthropologie store and an upcoming Fisker showroom (Toronto’s first), which offers the world’s first luxury plug-in hybrid car.
One of the most delectable and diverse collection of eateries in the province is drawing diners here from across the GTA: Bier Markt is poised to become the area’s newest purveyor of fine food and drink, joining the likes of healthy grill and wine bar Glow, premium casual dining spot Joey, European-inspired patisserie Ice ‘N Cake, and Fabbrica by Toronto’s premier celebrity chef, Mark McEwan, whose gourmet market, McEwan, is another focal point for foodies.
There’s ample free and valet parking, auto detailing, gift wrapping, dog training (now that’s pet-friendly!), wheelchairs, strollers, even rain gear available for your use, and all with easy access to the downtown core. Whether it’s the perfect condo, a perfectly brewed espresso, a succulent meal or stiletto heels, you’ll find it at The Shops at Don Mills.
