Daniels Waterfront wows crowd with amazing amenities and vision
By Lucas on Aug 19, 2015
We recently had the opportunity to get a sneak peek of what The Daniels Corporation has planned for their brand new Toronto master-plan, Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts. Daniels held a pre-preview event to share some new info about the project, and of course, we wouldn't miss it!
When it comes to master-planned communities, Daniels is one of the best. “Daniels has the vision and talent to create communities that transform neighbourhoods,” said Dominic Tompa, the broker of record at CityLife Realty. “And Daniels Waterfront - City of the Arts will change Toronto’s waterfront forever by creating a community that will be irresistible for locals and tourists alike. A vibrant canvas for arts and culture, fine dining, shopping, festivals, and more.”
In total, Daniels Waterfront will offer 1.32 million square feet of retail, office, residential, and cultural space. There will be over 900 residential suites between two towers, and there will be two office buildings. The 10 storey office building will be a commercial condo tower that will be on sale for an average of $467/square foot. The 13-storey office tower is where many local arts organizations, including Artscape and Manifesto, will be relocating their head offices. One of the largest signs that Daniels Waterfront is a great investment and has a bright future is that Daniels is confident enough in the site that they are also moving their head office to the building.
“You couldn’t find a better location to build a new master-planned community that will be very attractive to people that recognize what a great place this will be to live, work, and play,” added Tompa. There will also be 25,000 square feet of retail with many popular businesses setting up shop, including an RBC and many restaurants.
There will also be plenty of outdoor space around the office buildings and condo towers, including The Yard, which will be located in between the offices and residential space, and it will feature retail and cafes. Also, Daniels has enlisted Claude Cormier + Associates, the designers of Sugar Beach, to design an extension on the north side of Queens Quay, which will be called Sugar Beach North.
Lighthouse Tower
What really won us over was the kinds of amenities that Lighthouse Tower will feature. Jen Taylor, a frequent contributor to the Newinhomes.com Blog, recently posted about 7 condo amenities that millennials want in their condos, and Lighthouse Towerhas most of them, many of which, we haven’t even seen in any other condo in Toronto before.
Daniels will have a vibrant street life thanks to The Yard and Sugar Beach North. There will be plenty of accessible greenspace thanks to nearby parks, like Sherbourne Common, and there are even community garden plots.
Two of Jen’s very important amenities were art studios and music practice rooms, and guess what, Daniels will have both. The art studios will offer different classes and initiatives, and the jam room is perfect for practicing or even hosting an intimate show. There will also be a kitchen library where residents can rent out appliances, attend food nutrition seminars and receive hands-on chef training. Of course, there are also all the amenities that you’ve come to expect from condo living, including outdoor terraces, games rooms, barbecue areas, and a fitness centre.
Lighthouse Tower will stand 45 storeys, boasting a contemporary design by Giannone Petricone Associates, with interiors by Cecconi Simone. There will be a total of 534 suites. The tower suites offer studios to two-bedrooms, ranging from 349 to 792 square feet, with the option to combine select suites. The Gallery Suites start on the 40th floor and go up to the 43rd floor, with only six suites per floor. These suites range from 907 to 1,689 square feet. The top two floors of the tower will be the penthouse floors, which will feature 11’ ceilings and range from 1,475 to 2,395 square feet. Prices will start at $279,900 and go up to more than $1 million.
