It was a beautiful summer evening in July with music in the air as Sam Crignano of the Cityzen Development Group introduced his newest project, 88 On Broadway in the Yonge-Eglinton neighbourhood. People mingled in the savvy presentation centre and under the tent, as they were entertained by a singer performing tunes from popular Broadway shows.

“One of the reasons we at Cityzen together with our partners, Myriad, love this project is because we love the area,” said Crignano. “We have wanted to fill what everyone saw as a perceived need here for some time. While the Yonge-Eglinton neighbourhood is well served by high-rise rentals and low-rise single family homes and semis, there was very little in between for that very large market. 88 On Broadway fills that gap. In addition, living at 88 On Broadway will prove in many cases to be cheaper than paying rent.”

The condominium offers those who love the area an affordable option for home ownership with suites starting for as little as $168,900.

Yonge-Eglinton has long been recognized as one of the most exciting, livable areas in the city. 88 On Broadway is a minute’s walk from all the best that midtown has to offer.

88 On Broadway will rise from the northwest corner of Broadway and Redpath, just north of Eglinton Avenue East, and a five minute walk from Yonge and Eglinton. The 20-storey, contemporary condo tower by E.I. Richmond Architects follows a stepped back design, which allows buyers their own outdoor space in every suite and a choice of a balcony or terrace.

The Yonge Street subway line is a five minute walk to the west, and the TTC’s bus service is two minutes to the south. Parks, restaurants, and shopping are all close by.

The innovative suite designs offer a range of size, style, and price to suit almost any pocketbook. The choice begins with a 565-square foot one-bedroom unit, and then continues through to one-bedroom plus dens, 733-square foot two-bedroom units, right up to a large 1,291-square foot two-bedroom plus den penthouse priced at $499,000.

Each suite offers design touches and quality finishes buyers have come to expect from a Cityzen/Myriad project. Standard units have nine-foot ceilings, and penthouses boast ten-foot ceilings. There are six appliances included with a choice of stainless steel, black, or white, instead of the standard five, and microwave with built-in exhaust fan.

Hardwood floors are included in principal rooms while bedrooms contain 50-ounce broadloom. Counter tops glisten with highly polished granite.

88 On Broadway will have its own fitness centre complete with an exercise room, ‘his’ and ‘hers’ locker rooms, showers, steam rooms, swimming pool and whirlpool, and a party and event lounge with state-of-the-art theatre system.

For those warm spring, summer, and fall days or evenings, there is a rooftop garden with a BBQ area, full kitchen and Napa Valley outdoor fireplace.

“What we are creating is the perfect project for almost all residents of the Yonge-Eglinton area,” says Crignano. “88 On Broadway is designed to reflect the lifestyle people currently enjoy, but to bring it all under one roof.”
