Coming Soon: The Carlaw

A brilliant example of Streetcar’s commitment to RETHIKING. URBAN LIVING.

In Toronto’s evolving Leslieville neighbourhood, Streetcar Developments is poised to introduce The Carlaw, a striking condominium that will add a much-anticipated, one-of-a-kind lifestyle destination to this up-and-coming area. With The Carlaw, this forward-thinking developer is leading the area’s resurgence in partnership with Dundee Realty Corporation. Situated at Carlaw and Dundas Streets, this intimate 12-storey building’s design by Tact Architecture Inc. is a brilliant example of sophisticated modernism. To catch the eye of the city’s hip urban crowd, the condominium’s bold exterior is a study in crisp angles and curved columns. The building features a rooftop terrace and fascinating sections that project out perpendicularly from its core. In all, there will be 320 lofts and a limited number of townhomes in the collection.

What truly sets The Carlaw apart is its unique Arts & Entertainment facility offering an indoor/outdoor multi-purpose event space available for community and private functions. This innovative venue is a brilliant excellent example of Streetcar’s commitment to “RETHINKING. URBAN LIVING.” Designed to serve as an entertainment hub, the combined area of the indoor and outdoor spaces measures nearly 25,000 sq. ft. Rare in the Toronto condominium scene, this facility will be a showcase for arts and entertainment, and will be made available to local individuals, businesses and groups, as well as those in the greater community.

Capable of accommodating a variety of events, the interior portion of the event space can accommodate a large open-concept gathering or be divided for smaller, more intimate functions. The entire facility spills out onto the glorious courtyard and outdoor spaces along Carlaw and Dundas. Among the many potential uses for the venue are fashion shows, festivals, art exhibitions, theatre and music performances, film festivals and Nuit Blanche celebrations. Locals might enjoy classes on fitness, cooking, photography and other interests in this inspiring space.

This focus on entertainment and celebration is fitting for The Carlaw, which is a bright new star in this film-inspired area of the city. Large film studios are nearby, as is the growing number of new restaurants, cafés, shops and services. Life here will be as convenient as it is fun, with a multitude of amenities lying within walking distance. Boutiques, restaurants, parks, entertainment and nightlife along Queen are only a quick stroll away. And for those who prefer specialty shopping, many of Toronto’s trendiest shops and eateries are just down the street. Leslieville Cheese Market, Rowe Farms, Olive & Olives, South Coast Toronto, The Opera House ... a trip to Queen Street is a lifestyle adventure in itself.

Both the Dundas and Queen streetcars are close by, and the DVP and Gardiner Expressway only blocks away – if residents ever want to leave! The Carlaw itself will be home to fabulous amenities, beginning with the dramatic lobby that established a modern vibe from first glance. The combination of wood details and industrial metal elements with contemporary furnishings makes the lobby a fitting introduction to the chic suites above. In addition, active residents will appreciate the private fitness centre, and guest suites will be available for family and friends who stay over.

The Carlaw puts the “fun” in funky on the 11th floor rooftop, where a unique indoor/outdoor terrace and lounge set the scene for relaxing and entertaining. A veritable social hangout in the sky, the sundeck terrace is ready for a party, with lounge seating, barbecues and dining tables – all while drinking in spectacular city views. Like a tropical cabana, the indoor section of this urban oasis invites the gang to chill with munchies and watch the game on the big-screen TV. 

The loft interiors by Seven Haus Design are a work of art. Suite owners will live in the midst of luxurious features and finishes such as 9-foot exposed concrete ceilings, engineered hardwood floors, ultra-modern kitchens and bathrooms, stone countertops and sliding glass doors to the bedrooms. Choices will include studios, one- and two-bedroom layouts, some with dens and/or lofts areas. Suites range in size from 400 to 1,000 sq. ft., and townhomes up to 1,300 sq. ft. Prices begin from the mid-$200,000s.
