Want to see more? Well, you’re just going to have to be patient but be sure to register so you know everything you need to know.

The Yorkdale is a mid-rise condominium project by Context ( That’s us!) and Metropia. It is located in the backyard of Yorkdale shopping centre, which means that you basically have the worlds biggest walk-in closet.This also means you are on the TTC line still because apparently the darn thing goes north of Bloor. Who would have thought that?

 

Yeah, yeah… The cat’s out of the bag, and we’re working on a condominium project called The Yorkdale, and well, it’s near Yorkdale. So near in fact, you could probably walk there and not have to take the TTC. We’ll share with you more information on that as soon as possible, but for now let’s look at what else we could’ve called the project.

We’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time now, and it is finally here – the Fort York Library is OPEN! What an awesome amenity to have literally steps away from your home, eh Library District peeps?

 

Are you busy on May 24th or 25th? If yes, cancel your plans – we’ve got the perfect event for you to go to: Doors Open Toronto! One of our favourite events of the year is back, and with about 40 new buildings, including University of Toronto’s Knox College, and the Cornell Campbell House.

We like being nominated for things and were really happy when we were nominated for the much-acclaimed Pug Awards, which celebrates the best in Toronto architecture and planning. Founded in 2004, the Pug Awards invite the regular folk of Toronto to vote on the best, the middling and the worst of Toronto’s new real estate developments.

To qualify for a Pug Award, the building must have been completed last year in 2013, be located in the city of Toronto, and have an area equal to or greater than 50,000 square feet.

We’d totally love your support and vote – positive vote only please, none of that ‘LIKE IT or ‘HATE IT’ stuff.

Siiigh – you need more convincing as to why you should vote for us? What, our good looks and charm didn’t do it for you?

There are people who totally love furniture shopping and relish in spending hours and hours scouring the city in search of the perfect Ottoman. Then there’s people who couldn’t give a care in the world for spending endless amounts of time furniture shopping but want their place to look pretty swanky.

This post is for the latter.

Well, you COULD go sail the seven seas in hopes of finding trunks and whatever else people tend to find when they go adventuring or you can go up the street, find great furniture and still have time for a poutine from Lou Dawgs.

Yeah, we’re talking about CB2, on King and Bathurst. Here’s what we found at CB2 that would go great in any Library District condo.

 

Hey Folks, we’re in a bit of a hurry today – darn long weekends. Anyway we thought we’d show you the newest model suite at Library District. It’s on the 10th floor, is 777 SQ. feet and hails from parts unknown, er Toronto.

Listen up folks, we’re going to let you in on a little secret. If you think condos are typically small and meant for couples or the bachelor life, you’re wrong. No, we’re not referring to that bachelor, you know, the one with the hot tubs and desperate women (although, whatever floats your boat buddy). We’re talking about the kind of bachelor that can’t remember the last time they did laundry and kind of wanders around their apartment in a haze because they have an intense desire for human contact but are too shy to talk to the pretty girl (or guy) a couple floors down when they see them in the elevator. You’re familiar, right?

We almost froze to death but decided that for you, our lovely readers, we’d brave the cold to go check up on Scott at the Library District Sales Centre.
