Style and Substance - First and Foremost at 1 Yorkville’s Three-Tiered Amenity Floors
By Lucas on Dec 09, 2013
From Bazis and Plaza
We may be a bit biased when we say that 1 Yorkville by Bazis and Plaza is a property like no other, but walking into this exceptional structure, which rises above the fully-restored Yorkville Village from the 1860s, one can’t help but feel this must be what true luxury looks like. The developers haven’t skimped on style – obvious by the fact they have enlisted architect Rosario Varacalli and interior designers, The Design Agency, with its design – but, perhaps more important, is its substance. Bazis and Plaza tout a philosophy that 1 Yorkville is about “changing perspectives” and once you walk into the spectacular three-floor amenity space, you begin to see exactly what that means.
Observers are quick to say it’s a “spirited”, “inspired” and “elegant” environment, all of which is true, but this downtown Toronto condo is also impressively functional. Whatever you fancy – whether you are a person of leisure or adventure – you will find in this sprawling expanse.

The Spa
Imagine this: You wake to the comforts of your own abode and start each morning with a languid dip in the outdoor pool and its crystalline waters. Continue your morning by ending your swim session with a meditation class and afterwards, grab a cool glass of lemonade from our fully stocked Juice Bar; best enjoyed in one of our private and tranquil Zen Gardens. Within an hour you have eased both your body and your mind, and we assure you the rest of your day will thank you for it.
Post workday visit us again to indulge in one of our many while-away-the-evening respites like the hot tub, cold and hot plunge pools, steam room, sauna or, perhaps most decadent, the Aqua Massage: an exotic experience built for two, in which overhead jets of varying speeds splash away all the stresses of the day.
If this level of leisure is too slow-paced, not to worry: Our Dance Studio – equipped with state-of-the-art stereos and technology - beckons you to break in its dance floor with loud beats and your inspired moves.

The Exercise Level
Fitness and the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle is an imperative mindset at 1 Yorkville, so not surprisingly, our Exercise Level does not disappoint. The Fitness Gallery – with a spiral staircase showcasing views of the Spa area - promises an unprecedented space to rove with the most modern cardio equipment and machines sure to motivate the most hardcore fitness enthusiast.
Our much buzzed-about Cross-Fit studio is unparalleled in the condominium market, offering participants top-tier equipment and instructors that are dedicated to getting you exactly where you want to be. For Pilates devotees, an additional studio is equipped with everything you need to balance the body.
After your workout, why not sip an Americano in the Spa Pool Viewing Gallery while flipping through a magazine or two? (Certainly you’ve earned it.)
The Rooftop Entertainment Level
What’s the recipe for a great summer in Toronto? It’s simple: A rooftop with a city view, a sizzling BBQ, friends, cocktails and, of course, 1 Yorkville. Many-a-party is welcome on one of our two Sun Decks where warm and buzzy Sunday afternoons are spent in the spirited water feature-framed rooftop. The outdoor cinema is reminiscent of an intimate theatre house with comfortable seating and an oversized screen built to view all of film’s great classics. Cheers!
Come winter, no need to feel cramped or cornered. Play host in one of our capacious party rooms (with fully equipped kitchens) while challenging your guests to a fun video game race or, debate the merits of the latest must-see documentary in the Multimedia Room. Now, entertaining in style has never been easier.
Together, Bazis and Plaza have created two other inspired residential condominiums: Exhibit on Bloor, an exceptional and striking building located across from the Royal Ontario Museum, and Emerald Park, comprised of two dramatic towers at Yonge and Sheppard that have taken North York design to an entirely new level.
