Site big on green features
Grassy roof to help cool building and provide relaxation area for residents
Excerpt from an article by Valerie Hauch - Toronto Star
A condominium to be built at the juncture of Adelaide St. E. and Frederick St. has been designed to Rezen-ate with those who want to live downtown and live green.
The 13-storey Times Group Corp. building called Rezen will have a green roof with grasses to reduce cooling costs and a number of eco-friendly features in the suites.
The roof will also include an area for residents to relax on lounge chairs or cabana beds or use the barbecue station.
Residents will have a few minutes’ walk to the St. Lawrence Market, subway and Yonge St. and the historic Distillery District and entertainment districts are close by.
Maintenance fees will be 42 cents a square foot, kept low because there will be no expensive recreational facilities like swimming pools to maintain. However, the main floor will include an aerobics-yoga studio that opens onto an outdoor patio.
Sizes of suites range from a one-bedroom, 549-square-foot unit priced at $198,900, to a three-bedroom-with-den 1,284-square-foot-unit priced at $453,900. It’s also possible to combine units up to 1,781 square feet.
A storage locker is extra at $3,500 and buyers of units that are 717 square feet or larger can purchase a parking spot at $25,000.Expected first occupancy for Rezen is Dec. 15, 2007.
