Date Registered (2013-11-19)

River City condos provide flexible, fantastic spaces in an uber-modern building. Rising sixteen storeys above 51 Trolley Crescent, River City condos offer bachelor condos starting at 349 square feet, through two bedroom plus den suites at a spacious 1,744 square feet. The panel-and-glass construction of the building is unique and modern, setting it apart from other Corktown neighbours.

Each of the 349 condos is designed with an open concept for ultimate flow. With windows on the exterior walls reaching from hardwood floors to concrete ceiling and exposed ductwork, the River City condos have a bit of an industrial feel, while the natural light adds an organic warmth to the living spaces.  The kitchens are sleek and dynamic, and the bathrooms feature clean, European-inspired lines.  The River City I condo building is also an award winner, having won Toronto’s first LEED Gold Carbon Neutral residential development, and the 2014 PUG award for Best Residential Architecture.  

River City condos Amenities

River City condos offer loads of fun spaces to meet with neighbours and make new friends. There are two high-class, high-design social lounges for mingling and celebrating. You can also take advantage of the Lightbox party room, featuring a bar and sound system. There’s a private media area for community viewing parties, too. Challenge new friends to a game or two in the games room, or get business settled in the meeting room. The rooftop deck with barbecue stations is a great place to share a cookout or potluck, too.  

Active residents can enjoy the more energetic amenities, too.  There’s a gym onsite, for doing a little lifting or cardio at the start of the day.  There’s also an infinity-style pool for some low-impact cardio.  If taking the pooch for a walk is more your style, please note that pets are welcome at River City condos.

Corktown Neighbourhood

Corktown is very quickly gaining popularity among young professionals in the GTA, and it’s no secret why! With updated zoning policies, live/work spaces are quickly gaining foot in the area.  It’s affordable, exciting, well-served by public transportation, and conveniently located near the central business and entertainment districts.  

One of the major features of the Corktown neighbourhood, easily accessible from Trolley Crescent, is the Lower Don River Trail.  The Don River Valley Park runs the length of the river, and the trail connects most of the area.  Whether a hiker or a biker, this trail is a great place to take some deep, cleansing breaths, clear the mind, and get in those steps.  The path will take you to Underpass Park, an unexpected active social space located under the highway overpass.  The trail also leads to another Corktown mainstay- the Corktown Crescent.  A carefully planned and curated urban agriculture site, the Corktown Crescent began as a wasteland, and now flourishes as an ecological array, with marshlands and woodlands providing habitat for flora and fauna native to the area. The Front Street Promenade also leads to and from the Corktown Crescent- another lengthy path lined with benches, art, and performers. These landmark elements truly prove Corktown to be a neighbourhood dedicated to cultural and natural experiences. As a resident, these experiences are yours to behold!

There are also plenty of fun things to do along King Avenue and Queen Street, both of which are adjacent to Trolley Crescent.  Check out tasty, unique eateries, such as Fusilli, Odin Cafe + Bar, Impact Kitchen, River Towne Deli, Flame Shack, or Dominion Pub and Kitchen. There are also some artsy shops here, including florists, tattoo artists, production companies, and galleries here, reflecting the inspiration and creative vibe of the Corktown neighbourhood.  

Originally home to the brick workers and brewers of the early 1900s, the Corktown neighbourhood is undergoing a magnificent transformation into a fun, desirable neighbourhood for young professionals.  With a concentration on cultural diversity and natural conservation, this is an area of social consciousness and artistic inspiration!  With a condo at River City I, you’ll have front row seats to all this historic area has to offer.
