Empire introduces Fly Condos on Front Street
By on Oct 30, 2008
Empire Communities is known for situating the right condominium design in the right location, and will soon introduce Fly Condos - the right combination of both. Situated at 352 Front Street West, between Blue Jays Way and Spadina in downtown Toronto, this unique condominium enclave will offer refreshing modern character in this vibrant historic neighbourhood. The on-the-move crowd will appreciate living in a building that stands out as an icon due to its dramatic design and distinctive glass balconies on the western façade by Graziani + Corazza Architects. Plus, Fly Condos is intimate enough in scale to complement its surroundings.
The location is also just right for those who thrive on being in the heart of the city's action. In the vicinity, residents will be able to dine out at delectable restaurants, indulge in sizzling nightlife, take in a game at a world-class sports venue, and literally walk to the theatre or to the financial district. The condominium will back onto Clarence Square, a gem of an urban park that is one of the oldest in downtown and is being revitalized by the City of Toronto. Residents, including those with pets, will find the park handy for a leisurely stroll, and Fly's unique landscaped promenade will provide direct connection to the park.
Renowned for its trend-setting interior design, Munge Leung Design Associates is creating the stunning interiors. In the lobby, two-storey opaque green cut-glass columns combine with grey-veined marble floor and wall tile, white sculptural seating by Zaha Hadid, a modern gold-chrome concierge desk, and white and gold metal origami-like birds to offer a stunning entry into the building.
For entertaining, there is a stylish rooftop lounge that includes a chef's kitchen, five appliances and access to an outdoor terrace. Guests can spill out onto this inviting area, which has private cabanas and barbecues. Health-conscious residents can use the fabulous fitness centre designed by George Chaker (founder of Diesel Fitness and Level V), where the latest in workout equipment will await, along with a Yoga and Pilates studio, spinning area, sauna and more - all with a walkout to a private Zen courtyard that is ideal for meditation and seasonal yoga sessions. Those who have overnight visitors can book the hotel-chic guest suite, and 24-hour concierge service will provide pure convenience for suite owners and guests alike.
The well-designed suites will feature ceilings that soar up to 10 feet in height at the Penthouse levels. Each suite will have a balcony or terrace extending the owners' living space to the outdoors; custom-designed contemporary kitchens with sleek stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops; engineered hardwood flooring in the living, dining and den (as per plan; rich ceramics and glazed porcelain tiles; plus striking views through the expansive windows.
Fly Condos will offer one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom, two-bedroom-plus-den, three-bedroom, and two-storey lofts with street entry. Sizes range from 495 to over 1,500 square feet, priced from the mid-$200,000s to just under $1 million. Occupancy is slated for Spring 2012.
Since the early 1990s, Empire Communities has built a solid reputation for creating award-winning communities that are as unique as the people who choose to live in them. Empire is known for its rigorous construction standards, leading-edge design and exemplary customer care program.
