Buzz Talk with Jared Menkes [INTERVIEW]

Posted on February 22, 2012 | buzzhomeblog Posted in BUZZTALK, DEVELOPMENTS, MARKET, ONTARIO | Leave a comment

This week in BuzzTalk, we’re buzzing with Jared Menkes, a young development manager at the well-known and highly regarded Menkes Developments.

When it comes to the development industry in Toronto, it’s hard to think of a bigger name than Menkes. The family-owned company does everything, from condos to single family homes to commercial real estate.

The first Menkes residential project that Jared spearheaded was Pears on the Avenue, the 20 storey Yorkville meets Annex project that’s currently under construction on Avenue Road, north of Bloor. Jared is currently hard at work on Fabrik, the new condo development at Queen and Spadina. Read more

Empire Communities’ quartet of low-rise projects are making waves in the GTA

Posted on February 22, 2012 | buzzhomeblog Posted in DEVELOPMENTS, ONTARIO | Leave a comment

We’re getting low on the blog today — low-rise, that is! How can we resist when Empire Communities has so many low-rise projects on the go throughout the GTA and beyond?

You’re probably well acquainted with Summerlea, the master planned community in Binbrook that blends small town charm and urban sophistication. If not, you have some serious reading to do. Check out our stories on the development here and here.

We’re not giving preferential treatment to Summerlea though. The title says “quartet of low-rise projects” and a quartet is what you’re going to get! Read more

Mississauga ranks in the top 10 in North America high-rise list

Posted on February 20, 2012 | buzzhomeblog Posted in DEVELOPMENTS, MARKET, ONTARIO | 2 Comments

A lot of fuss has been made over the fact that Toronto has the most high-rise buildings under construction in North America.

This has been an assumption for most Torontonians for awhile now and it was made official back in late September when the Hamburg-based Emporis released their data on high-rise construction in North America.

While Toronto deserves the attention — after all, it beats New York City 132 to 88 — we feel like the fact that Mississauga ranked in the Emporis top ten list was overlooked. Read more

At 78 storeys, Aura will be the tallest condo tower in Canada

Posted on February 17, 2012 | buzzhomeblog Posted in DEVELOPMENTS, ONTARIO, WATER COOLER | Leave a comment

Holy smokes, 78 storeys? What a beast!

Aura, the College Park condo tower by Canderel, was already slated to soar to incredible heights but thanks to a decision by the City’s Committee of Adjustment, it will rise even higher than previously planned.

The skyscraping condo tower will now stand at 78 storeys (up from 75) and 273 metres, easily making it the tallest condo tower in the country.

Three additional floors mean more units — 50 new condo suites to be exact. Aura will now contain an astounding 985 units.

Some of those units will be Aura’s penthouse collection of suites, starting at the 75th floor. Penthouses start from $2.3 million and one astonishing suite is priced at $18.3 million.

The singular penthouse is 11,370 square feet and is “among Toronto’s most exclusive real estate listings,” according to Riz Dhanji, Canderel’s VP of Sales and Marketing.

This entire project is quite something and definitely signals the commencement of some next level condo development in Toronto.

If the 78 storey height isn’t enough to convince you, how about the 180,000 square feet of retail space? Or maybe the fact that the total square footage of the project now stands at 1.3 million. Read more

Edition/Richmond is appealing to our artistic side with their Queen West inspired creativity

Posted on February 16, 2012 | buzzhomeblog Posted in DEVELOPMENTS, ONTARIO | Leave a comment

Let’s play a little game of free association.

When we say a word or phrase, you respond with the first word or phrase that pops into your mind. Alright, let’s go…

Art!

If you’re a Torontonian, then you probably responded with “Queen West”. Why? Well, from a psychologist’s point of view, it’s because Queen West is the city’s art hub and folks in Toronto associate the area with culture and creativity. Read more
