"A Touch of Manhattan in Toronto"
At the center of mid-town Toronto, Park Avenue delivers a commanding presence at 48 St. Clair Avenue West. Originally constructed in the 1950s, this special building has been completely renovated into sophisticated residential suites and penthouses. Resident amenities include concierge, furnished lobby with fireplace, multi-purpose room, fully-equipped exercise facility and landscaped garden terrace.
Showcase design features include 10’ high ceilings with oversized windows, French doors with Juliet balconies and walk-out terrace. Floors are a blend of marble and exotic wood. Custom designed kitchens have furniture style cabinetry and complementary counters and floors. Master ensuites are on par with European spa standards.
Christopher Hume, the highly regarded architectural critic for the Toronto Star, gave Park Avenue an extremely rare score of "A" for its architectural design:
Despite its name, the Park Avenue is in Toronto at 48 St. Clair Ave. W. Actually, it's a condo remake of a late 1950s office building on the north side of the street west of Yonge. Though the original doesn't qualify as historic, it was built at an interesting moment in Toronto architectural history.
