Waterlink at Pier 27
Pier 27 will be Toronto’s new landmark sculpture of glass and steel right on the water’s edge, possessing a commanding international presence.
As Toronto thrives and evolves into a dynamic world metropolis, you have the opportunity to be part of one of the most significant moments in the city’s history. President of Fernbrook and Developer Danny Salvatore says. “One of the top priorities was to design and site all buildings in such a way as to preserve sight lines,” he adds, “and to have them act as a link, not a barrier to the lake.” All that and much more has been accomplished.
Peter Clewes of Architects Alliance designed Phase One – the two 12-storey, glass and steel buildings topped off with a three-storey bridge with spectacular suites featuring city and lake views. A wide selection of floorplans are available, from one-bedroom suites to 4,000-square-foot penthouses with three bedrooms and a den.
Pier 27 will also offer residents extensive indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, including an outdoor pool and cabanas with views of the lake and the islands, indoor lap pool, complete spa, a round-the-clock concierge and valet parking to whisk the vehicles of residents and guests alike to the underground parking garage.
Pier 27 is built in the midst of Toronto’s waterfront community, it is located on Queen’s Quay and directly across it is a Loblaws, an LCBO as well as many restaurants and clubs!

I just received the latest price list for Pier27. Condo suites are well-priced for a boutique building. They have 2-bed units with 1,347sf for $1,449,000 and 2-bed plus dens with 1,722sf for $1,514,000. Sub-penthouse units with 2-beds and 1,139sf for $834,000 and 2+dens with 1,132sf for $892,000. There are also townhouse units ranging from 1,920sf at $1,450,000 to 2,311sf for $1,698,000.
I do not know which views they have, but any of them facing south would be amazing. All have 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, granite/quartz/marble counters and Subzero/Miele appliances. Parking and locker are extra of course, at $40,000 and $4,500 each respectively.
Phase 2 also has units ranging up to 3 bedrooms and 1,603sf for $1,535,000. Lots of interesting options…

Luxury condos create mansions in the sky
Ryan Starr – Toronto Star
Kingly income? Some castles in the air …
Toronto’s super-luxury condo market has blossomed in recent years, even in the midst of an economic downturn.
The flurry of highrise projects from big names such as Trump, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Shangri-La is a testament to this city’s high-end real estate coming of age.
Topping the sleek towers, poised to be among Toronto’s tallest, will be a glittering array of lavish multimillion-dollar penthouses.
These mansions in the sky will represent some of the most exclusive and expensive addresses in the city. MuseumHouse, located across from the Royal Ontario Museum on Bloor Street W., is a bit different.
At a relatively modest 19 storeys, this glass and steel structure, designed by Page + Steele architects – the firm that did Toronto’s new Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Residences and the Windsor Arms, among others – won’t be as tall as the other towers.
But with only 26 full- and half-floor residences, MuseumHouse will offer an intimacy those big-name projects can’t match, insists Romspen Investment Corp. founder Sheldon Esbin, a partner in the development.
“What’s attractive about this building is that it’s small and you’re not going to meet 20 people in the elevator,” he says. “Plus, there are no hallways. So you have privacy. You’re part of a small, exclusive community.”
Just because MuseumHouse’s two-storey, 5,618-square-foot penthouse won’t be nestled in the clouds, however, doesn’t mean its offerings will be any less rarefied.
Esbin says the $12-million suite will be nothing less than a “crystal jewel sitting atop a steel and limestone building.”
The penthouse, occupying MuseumHouse’s 18th and 19th floors, will offer 360-degree vistas of downtown Toronto and beyond.
“No one can build over us or in front, so you have a pretty unrestricted view of the university and Queen’s Park,” says Esbin. “Indeed, you can see down to the water.”
Serviced by private elevator, the two-storey penthouse will have three bedrooms, each with access to one of the unit’s four terraces (a total of 1,152 square feet of outdoor space).
The terraces will be finished in stone and accented by glass rails and stainless steel planter boxes. There will also be a private outdoor hot tub on one balcony.
With 11-foot ceilings throughout, the penthouse will include a media room, music room, library/office space, a Zen garden and a winding staircase connecting the two levels.
The master bathroom will boast a cedar sauna, steam room and heated floors. The roomy kitchen will be equipped with Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, a wine cooler and walk-in pantry. The penthouse will also have two gas fireplaces and a built-in safe.
MuseumHouse residents get round-the-clock concierge and valet services, as well.
But no final interior design decisions have been made for the top unit, meaning the purchaser can customize the penthouse to suit his or her personal tastes.
There’s a fine line between luxurious and gaudy, of course. But Esbin believes the penthouse at MuseumHouse won’t cross it.
Esbin describes the overall MuseumHouse motif as “minimalist Japanese,” with clean, sharp lines that complement the building’s steel and glass shell.
It counts for something that Page + Steele principal Sol Wassermuhl bought the 2,300 square-foot sub-penthouse on the 17th floor and plans to live there with his wife.
Esbin has also purchased an upper-floor unit.
More high-end condos
Toronto may not be in the same league as London, New York or Singapore when it comes to super high-end real estate, but the market for opulent digs here is expanding rapidly, with scores of luxury condos under development at the moment.
“The city has evolved really quickly,” says Robbyn Hayden, sales manager for Shangri-La Toronto, a 66-storey hotel-condo, with two $13.3 million penthouses, under construction at University Ave. and Adelaide St.
“You can be sure the major hotel brands and developers have done their demographic studies and know that there are people here who want and can afford these luxury properties.”
“Toronto is catching up to the international trend of mixed-use hotel-condo developments, common in places like New York, Hong Kong and London,” adds Mimi Ng, vice-president of marketing with Menkes Developments.
Menkes is building the Four Seasons Private Residences in Yorkville. At $30 million, its penthouse will be the most expensive in Canada.
“In the past you would get only one luxury building come along every five years or so, and that would be the building everyone would buy into,” Ng says. “In recent years we’ve seen a number of projects all come onto the market at the same time.”
Still, the luxury luxury condo market in Toronto remains a “limited niche,” Hayden says. But the city’s high-end properties are proving attractive to international investors.
“We have clients from other parts of the world who think being able to buy luxury property for $1,700 to $2,000 a square foot is very good value,” she says.
Back at MuseumHouse, sales have been good – at last count nearly 80% of the units had been sold – with buyers ranging from a rock drummer (“the last person I thought would buy,” Esbin says) to the former president of one of the world’s largest investment banks.
And while there have been “a few nibbles” for the penthouse, Esbin says there have been no takers thus far.
To sweeten the pot – and add a dash of museum flavour – he’s offering the would-be buyer a lifesize sculpture cast from an original Rodin: Eve, a work worth about $800,000 that sits in the sales office awaiting a suitor.
