—————————————————————————————————————————————

Davisville Vil­lage is named for John Davis, who came to Canada from Stafford­shire, Eng­land in 1840. John Davis was Davisville’s first post­mas­ter and helped found the Davisville Pub­lic School. He also oper­ated the Davis Pot­tery, orig­i­nally located on Davisville Avenue, which became the Village’s largest employer. Nei­ther the Pot­tery nor the wood and paper mills that used to be main­stays of the area, cur­rently exist – they made way for res­i­dences, shops and busi­nesses long ago. How­ever, the two-storey build­ing that was the site of the for­mer Davisville Post Office is still stand­ing on the north-east cor­ner of Yonge & Davisville.

The south part of Davisville was sub­di­vided in the 1860’s on land owned mostly by the Davis fam­ily. The north part of the Vil­lage belonged to the Church. This lat­ter tract of land, known as the Davisville Glebe, remained unde­vel­oped until 1911 when it was sold to the Dover­court Land and Build­ing Com­pany, the same com­pany that over­saw the devel­op­ment of the Lawrence Park neighbourhood.

    Combining highrise and homestyle living, condo townhomes offer interesting synergies.

    Jack Kohane, National Post

    A flourishing trend, condo townhomes are part of the blueprint in about 35 current condo projects in Toronto (out of 265 active projects around the city), according to Pauline Lierman, research analyst with Urbanation, which tracks the Toronto condo market.

    Townhouses (that are part of a bigger development such as a high-rise condo project) account for about 5% of the GTA condominium market,” Ms. Lierman says. By comparison, Ms. Lierman estimates that stand-alone townhouses account for a third of new home sales.

    Fuelling most of the sales of ground floor town/condo combos are the low interest rates and demographics, i.e., move-down buyers, new families and empty-nesters.

    Barbara Lawlor, president of Baker Real Estate, says that what makes the town/condo so attractive for these buyers is that they’re embracing the condo lifestyle, most for the first time.

    “Townhouses draw those buyers looking for lots of the amenities associated with the condominium apartment lifestyle, or looking for a ground-level alternative to the traditional apartment unit,” Ms. Lawlor explains. The town/condo combo option is tailor-made for young couples looking to transition to a starter home, she says. “This may be more affordable than a semi or detached house in the GTA.”

    These are the targeted buyers for the architecturally innovative 12° condominium that will rise north of the trendy Queen and Beverley crossroads. Set at the base of this glass-girded, 11-storey building (its façade shifts at a 12-degree angle, hence the name), are six towns that range in size from 900 to about 1,300 square feet. They’ve been designed by Core Architects for Tarek Sobhi and Tyler Hershberg of the start-up development firm BSAR Group of Companies.

    Currently in preconstruction (occupancy is slated for the spring of 2012), the towns at 12° range from one bedroom to three bedrooms. Starting from the mid-$500,000, these two-storey units have nine-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, pre-finished wide plank engineered hardwood floors, porcelain tiled bathrooms, stone kitchen countertops and a front doorway made of Douglas Fir.

    “Townhouses at the base of a condo provide actual street addresses with front doors,” says Charles Gane, the project’s architect. “And because this project is located in a zone that’s in transition from a commercial and shopping district to more residential usage, townhomes help increase the ‘eyes on the street’ concept, whereas commercial and office spaces would be dark and unused at night.”

    Each townhome has its own separate private entrance at street level off of Beverley. Guests can access the homes from the lobby of the condo building itself.

    Mr. Hershberg points out that 12° (12degrees.ca) is big on encouraging families to move in: “To give them the experience of living in a detached home while offering the amenities and conveniences of condo living. Here, they will have access to the rooftop terrace and outdoor swimming pool. The site feels and behaves like a quiet residential street and therefore the townhomes work perfectly.”

    At the new Merton Yonge Condominiums (MYC), having your own front door at the podium of a 25-storey edifice is a big part of this town/condo’s allure. Scheduled for occupancy mid-2012, MYC has 16 towns offering two bedrooms and two bedrooms plus den (about 930 to more than 1,400 sq. ft.), ranging from less than $490,000 to more than $760,000.

    Built by Cresford Developments, MYC joins the builder’s other projects NXT and NXT2, The Merchandise Building, CASA, and the Bloor Street Neighbourhood. Architect Peter Clewes of architectsAlliance, whose creative stamp is all over MYC and several other Cresford projects, fashioned the two-level townhomes. Some of the units overlook a landscaped courtyard. Townhouse residents can travel along a series of cantilevered walkways leading to the amenity areas such as the rooftop terrace with lounge and barbecue, fitness centre, guest suite and party room. Mr. Clewes describes these towns as a “European-style approach to family housing. He says, “they have become a highly desirable product in MYC’s unit mix.”

    Suites feature engineered hardwood floors in the foyer and living and dining, kitchen and den areas, nine-foot ceilings in living areas and floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen has granite or Caesar countertops, stainless steel appliances and a ceramic backsplash. Bathroom finishes include marble countertops with an undermount sink, ceramic tile flooring and a glass-framed door in the shower stall.

    MYC’s location is the major enticement. It has proximity to the city core via the Yonge subway line, and to the Kay Gardner Belt Line, a mostly treed 4.5-kilometre walking trail that runs through Mount Pleasant Cemetery and connects with parks and green spaces. “These are magnets for first-time, move-up and downsizing buyers,” says Maria Athanasoulis, Cresford’s vice-president of marketing. She expects many of those interested in MYC towns are those from nearby neighbourhoods who want to stay in the area. (For details, go to MYCcondo.com.)

    In the city’s west end, a new development leverages on a former landmark’s name and a 5.7-acre parcel of land flanked by Hwy 427 and Bloor Street. When the half-century-old Valhalla Inn, one of the GTA’s first motor inns, closed last year, Edilcan Development drew up plans for One Valhalla Towns & Condos. The project will eventually encompass 68 three-storey townhomes at the base of three glass-clad towers (constructed in three phases). This Etobicoke town/condo combo, designed by Page + Steele/IBI Architects, will surround a landscaped garden courtyard and a children’s playground. Townhome residents will be able to use the tower’s rooftop terrace and its barbecue areas. Other amenities are an indoor swimming pool, concierge service, party room and catering kitchen.

    One Valhalla towns, in three- and four-bedroom layouts, will offer 1,250 to 1,450 sq. ft. units starting from about $400,000. Occupancy of Phase One is the late fall of 2011.

    This new breed of town/condo combos is a good choice for those who want a home with an upstairs and downstairs, “but don’t want the maintenance headaches of snow removal and lawn care,” says Ms. Lawlor. “All the upkeep is looked after in a condo community.”

    Tracy Hanes – Toronto Star

    Merton Yonge Condominiums (MYC) will bring a new facet to a well-loved midtown Toronto neighbourhood.

    The Davisville project from Cresford Developments is expected to appeal to people who already live in the neighbourhood, as well as buyers from outside the area who enjoy the character of an established urban village.

    It’s easily accessible to downtown, yet quieter, with extensive amenities and a lively nightlife.

    Merton Yonge Condominiums

    “We knew this location would appeal to end user buyers who represent all sorts of demographics, from first-time to move up and downsizing buyers,” says Cresford vice president Maria Athanasoulis. “There’s everything at this location — grocery stores, restaurants, shops, and transit with the subway at the doorstep. There’s the Mount Pleasant Cemetery (across the street) and the Kay Gardner Belt Line Trail.”

    Mount Pleasant Cemetery was designed as an arboretum and has spectacular floral and horticulture features, including one of North America’s finest collections of trees. The Kay Gardner Belt Line is a popular 4.5-kilometre recreational trail along a former rail line, which crosses through the cemetery, links to parks and green spaces and serves as a wildlife corridor.

    The building itself will reflect the emphasis on the connection to the outdoors, with generous wraparound balconies as a key architectural feature. Cresford is committed to providing balconies or terraces at all of its projects and they add a minimum of 10% more square footage livable space to purchasers at no extra charge, Athanasoulis says.

    The Merton-Yonge area is part of North Toronto and Athanasoulis anticipates many buyers will come from the immediate area. MYC will provide a mix of product, from suites in the 25-storey tower, to townhouses with front door entrances.

    “The privacy of having your own front door is something people appreciate more when they see it built,” says Athanasoulis, citing another Cresford project, Windermere by the Lake, which also offered townhomes.

    Townhouse residents will travel along a series of cantilevered walkways leading to various amenity areas, like the rooftop terrace with lounge and barbecue, fitness centre, guest suite, and party room.

    Toronto Condo Balcony

    Those that buy in the tower aren’t apt to be disappointed either — from the 12th floor up, there will be unobstructed views, “which are breathtaking to the north and south,” says Athanasoulis.

    “We knew views to the south would no doubt be beautiful, and the building has been shaped to contour to the site, with a natural bend to it, so people can take advantage of the views, even if they live on the east or west side,” she says.

    Suites will have nine-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, to take advantage of natural light and the scenic views.

    The soaring lobby has been styled to resemble the foyer of a New York art gallery.

    The building has been designed by noted architect Peter Clewes of architectsAlliance, who designed several other Cresford projects, including Casa and NXT.

    “We recognize the beauty of his architecture and we believe he adds value to a site,” says Athanasoulis. “The appeal is that, along with the combination of the location and a different product for the neighbourhood.”

    “The interesting thing about this site is that it basically has three fronts: Yonge St., Merton St., and the cemetery and the Kay Gardner walkway,” says Clewes. “Most of the buildings constructed over the last five to 10 years have forgotten about the cemetery as a major public space. MYC will have residential at grade addressing the cemetery and walkway, with units facing onto this amazing open space. The units in the towers above will also take advantage of the views.”

    Clewes says the townhouses in the podium “are quite interesting,” with the upper level ones facing on to a landscape courtyard which residents will walk across when they get off the elevators. “It’s a European approach to family housing, with a sense of private space as opposed to walking down a corridor to your front door.”

    The tower itself is a parallelogram, following the slightly skewed angle of Yonge St. at Merton.

    “The tower is trying to respond to Yonge as the major avenue and it will create somewhat of a beacon,” says Clewes.

    Suites will include one bedroom, one bedroom plus den and two bedroom plus den, in sizes range from 519 to more than 2,000 square feet. Prices range from $300,00s to over $1 million. Tentative occupancy is spring 2012.

    The site will open later this month and pre-registration is being taken currently.
