180 University Ave., Toronto ON, M5H4B8
The Shangri La is located in the Toronto Bay Street area. Let me tell you I do not think I can say anything negative about this development. It truly is amazing and I will elaborate on many of its amenities and designs. Plus the slide show below shows you how breathtaking the suites are.
Shangri La is built by Westbank and Peterson Group and is expected occupancy is 2011. The building is located on University & Adelaide and it has approximately 352 condominiums and 220 hotel units. Yes, I just said hotel that is no misprint. One section of the building is for condominium owners (higher floors) and the lower section of the building which has 65 floors in it, is designed for a 5 star luxury hotel.
Building
The building itself just like many of its other building locations (the same theme is duplicated across the world in major cities) has an eastern cultural atmosphere.
The Shangri La design team takes their architecture very seriously. They have been known to state the following line:
“Do not take design for granted, it will outlast us. So scrutinize it. Celebrate it. Relish it. The design of your home, from the entrance way to the organization of your closet space, must provide a worthy frame for a passionate life.”
Shangri La’s second theme that they are consistent about in all of their advertisement is:
Live, Work, Prosper
Residence
The kitchens are designed with Baffi brands which define contemporary kitchen design and innovation. The collection is renowned for its exquisite form and sophisticated technology. The pool is indoors and is heated with a hot tub and deck. The fitness center is pretty large it is 2,500 square feet with top of the line TechnoGym equipment and it comes with a steam room plus luxurious showers. Residences also have access to a world class 18 seat multi-media screening room. Plus, optional housekeeping and other hotel service including room services.
If you happen to purchase one of the Estate suites which are principally located between floors 45 and above. You receive some ‘nifty’ things like; valet service, limousine service (within downtown), your own fully enclosed double car garage, built-in LCD TV into kitchen cabinetry, and much more.
Chi Spa
Shangri La has plenty to offer and one of the plus sides to living here is the fact that you can enter the CHI spa. The spa essentially is the highlight luxury amenity for the residents. The CHI spa is designed to inspire the legend of Shangri-La (considered a mythical Himalayan utopia). CHI spa features some of the largest and most luxurious private spa suites and villas in the industry. It offers a range of specialized body, water, massage and facial therapies based on the ancient healing traditions of China and the Himalayas.

Address: 1 Front St., Toronto Ontario, M5J 2X7
Building
It would be an understatement to declare the L Tower as a ‘unique’ building. The building is like no other building in Toronto. It is being built by Castlepoint, Fernbrook and Cityzen. It is expected to be occupied with suite owners by 2010. The building is 50 stories high and has 496 units.
The building itself was designed to wrap itself around the Sony Centre. The L Tower is literally a few steps away from Union Station, it is practically ontop of the Sony Theatre and it’s across the street from the Hockey Hall of Fame. The building truly is 21st century living.
Symbol
The building is a “symbol for the dynamic fusion of culture and arts”. Arts because it is located on top of the Sony Centre. The L Tower will truly be a Landmark in Toronto and will re-invent the half a century old Sony Centre.
Suites
Complete Stainless steel appliances.
Hardwood throughout the suite; foyer, kitchen, living room, dining room, bedrooms…
Granite countertops (Marble countertops in the bathrooms)
Marble kitchen backsplash.
9 foot ceilings

Address: 15 Windermere Avenue, Toronto Ontario M6S5A2
Building
Windermere by the Lake Condominiums and Townhouses is absolutely stunning. Why? Besides having a stunning high rise condominium with 28 stories wrapped around glass. You have a little quiet community of townhouses on the main level. The townhouses are brick and stonework giving it a cozy home feel.
Area
Windermere by the Lake Condominiums & Townhouses are located in the beautiful High Park Neighbourhood. You are only a few blocks away from the beaches (who doesn’t like a beach in the summer time?). You are also located close to the QEW and the TTC, making it easy for you to commute to work.
Living Space
The living space is amazing! Cressford the builder of Windermere by the Lake has splashed out a lot in making sure that this Toronto condo is top notch. Most of the suites in the building have granite countertops in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. The master bathrooms in most suites have marble countertops, very chic. The suites essentially are designed to promote a classic contemporary style. Suites have hardwood floors, 9 foot ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and oh wait access to the Lake Club Fitness facility/Lounge. Don’t think the Lake Club/Lounge is worth it? Well let me tell you how these two sections have a virtual golf ‘course’ an indoor swimming pool for those aquatic lovers and last but not least (and probably my favorite feature) a sauna.
