Charlie Condos

Registration date: 2013-03-04

A draw for working professionals, families and retirees alike. For years, the style high-rise known as Charlie condos has been a landmark at the south of Charlotte Street at King.  An Entertainment District favourite with 36 view-laden stories, the condo is a pearl among gems. Well located in the Entertainment District, it is central to the heartbeat of Toronto and the cultural offerings of an urban paradise. It also is a hub of activity in itself. 

The condominium developed by Great Gulf, affords a mile-high lifestyle. It starts with a two-part soaring tower by Diamond + Schmitt Architects, of extreme purity and elegance and adorned with heritage brick—a nod to posterity. The balanced perfection of the transparent glass and aluminum framing is mirrored inside thanks to the design team of Cecconi Simone. It is all about elegance and sophistication, the new watchwords of urban living in the Greater Metropolitan Area. Charlie condos showcases beyond a modern use of steel and stone, paying lip service to tradition. 

Everyone loves the eclectic destination with innumerable landmarks and venues like the Rogers Centre, CN Tower, Air Canada Centre and the Harbourfront. Living here makes you a part of the trendy fashion scene and a privileged participant in the rich local culture and social opportunities of the many restaurants, clubs and bars. 

8 Charlotte Street Amenities

Everyone wants a gym, party room, home theatre, lounge, rooftop terrace and guest suites. That’s what a high-rise lifestyle is all about. There is great value in condominium living. Here there are 36 storeys of luxurious suites amid every amenity and convenience you could desire. Among the varied offerings of the 314 units are a variety of one and two bedroom with optional den floor plans from 408 to 2,028 square feet. 

Comfort and functionality define the luxurious suites that are both contemporary and classic.  All are extraordinary homes with a choice of floor plans and finishes. The proof is in the refined details and ingenious use of available space and the extensive use of large, bright windows. Attention must be given to the chef’s kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances and spa-like bathrooms. Engineered hardwood flooring, high-grade surfaces and opulent textures are some of the many extra flourishes. Plus, everyone gets a deep balcony.

The communal fun begins in a variety of places—the epitome of hotel chic. “The Zone” is a multi-level hangout for exercise buffs, swimmers and sunbathers. The extent of the amenities is mind boggling. There is a spacious lounge with a full catering kitchen and while some love to linger poolside, others congregate in the media or game room. The fully-landscaped garden on the roof includes cozy seating, grilling and dining facilities for those who love to entertain. At Charlie , it is all about mixing and mingling. At night, residents and their guests can enjoy the showcase of stars and city lights. Best of all, during the day you can see Lake Ontario.

Charlie Condos Neighbourhood

It never hurts to be near a park. Clarence Square Park is a block away from Charlie condos while St. Andrew’s Playground and Davide Picaut Square are in the hood. A great attraction of urban life in Toronto is the plenitude of green spaces. In addition, with a central location on Charlotte Street, the condo community is minutes from the TIFF Bell Lightbox, Roy Thomson Hall and Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It is clearly a stellar location with every amenity close at hand.

In keeping with the promise of a fashionable lifestyle, there is no lack of trendy eateries from fine to casual in the surrounding area on Adelaide Street West, Spadina and Queen Street West. Sweet Jesus, Biblos and PAI are frequented by locals along with Marquis Bistro and Lounge. For craft beer there is Bar Hop while coffee addicts flock to Sense Appeal Coffee Roasters. Clubs, markets, bowling lanes and a plethora of shops populate the chic region that is often full of visitors rubbing elbows with the residents.

With the Fashion and Entertainment Districts due south of Kings West, there is no end to the possibilities for a rich and varied life. Those who work downtown find this an ideal place to call home. Families love the proximity to schools and services and retirees appreciate the ease of mass transit. But within a few blocks, you will find JC Foodlane and Blue Jays Way, Metro Centre Marketplace, and Fresh and Wild Food Market.

It is the counterpart to multiple area projects including The Hudson, X Condos, Monde Condominiums, One Bloor and The Saint James. They know what is required in a luxury downtown high-rise.
