The Florian - The Residences of Upper Yorkville

The Florian - The Residences of Upper Yorkville will open its presentation centre in early September. These equisite condominiums priced from $700,000 to over $3 million, will offer buyers another option in the Yorkville luxury condo market. This latest Diamante Development Corporation building features just 95 residences, all with unparalled convenience and amenities.

Located at the intersections of Bay St, Davenport Rd, and McAlpine St, The Florian will be easily accessible by car. While it is still a short walk to the action, hustle, and bustle of the shops and restaurants of the Bloor-Yorkville core, this superb condo building will also offer residents a quieter and more serene alternative to the other luxury residences of Yorkville. The building will also have more unobstructed views with many units overlooking the large green spaces that surround it.

The Presentation Centre will include a model suite.

L Tower: Great Designs Make Winners

The more I look at the LTower the more I like it. This is definately one of my favorite condo projects in a very long time. Architect Daniel Libeskind (who also designed the ROM Crystal), does not disappoint with the design of the LTower at the Hummingbird Centre, creating what will certainly become an architectural landmark of Toronto. If the amount of interest I have received from condo buyers is any indication, the LTower condo development project will be very successful.

In addition to providing residents and owners with pride and joy, as an investment, distinctive buildings are rewarding owners with much greater appreciation in value than their more ordinary looking counterparts. A good example of this is the Yansong Ma designed 50-storey Abolute World 1 building in Mississauga that has been nickednamed the Marilyn Monroe tower (pictured to the right) due to its sensuous curves.
