The height of style at Imperial Plaza
By on Sep 18, 2010
Camrost Felcorp is revitalizing the historic Imperial Oil building at 111 St. Clair West and offering would-be buyers interested in new condos in Toronto the chance to live in one of the city's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Built in 1957, the original Alvan Mathers-designed building served as the Canadian headquarters of Imperial Oil until 2007. When it was completed it was the world's tallest all-welded steel frame building and the highest vista point in Toronto up until the late 1960's. Today the building still boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the city, and the award-winning team at Camrost Feldcorp is carefully restoring the grand limestone exterior and converting the elegant former office building into modern new condominiums plus select retail on the ground level with the help of The Design Agency and Onespace Unlimited. When it is complete the rejuvenated building will be a masterpiece of International Style Modernism.
This project is truly a labour of love for Camrost-Feldcorp president David Feldman. Not only is he passionate about this neighbourhood and the unique palette and period of the space, Feldman is adamant that all of this is made accessible to buyers in every price range.
Just a five minute stroll from the fabulous shops and restaurants at Yonge and St. Clair, the site is adjacent to the leafy enclave of Forest Hill. The St. Clair streetcar even stops right outside the building, and the Yonge subway line is close at hand. Plans include public amenity spaces including restaurants, cafes and retail shops.
Suites in the 23-storey building will feature sky-high 10' to 20' ceilings, and a granite, limestone and marble lobby. With a limestone façade and welded frame construction the Imperial Plaza would be financially impossible to build from the ground up today. The wide variety of floorplans will include lofts and penthouse suites. Prices start in the $300s.
