25 Capreol Crt, Toronto

In the popular CityPlace neighbourhood, the Luna and Luna Vista Condos at 25 Capreol Crescent and 8 Telegram Mews, respectively, overlook an interesting site: the masterfully designed fields of the Canoe Landing Park, overseen by renowned Canadian novelist and artist Douglas Coupland. Nonetheless, this development by Concord Adex is distinguished in its own right, attracting many prospective buyers.

Completed in 2010, 8 Telegram Mews’ design was created by a team consisting of KPMB and Core Architects. The resulting concrete towers showcase vast glass window walls and many private outdoor spaces. The sleek finish and captivating contrast carved out by the balconies come together brilliantly, resulting in a refined modern aesthetic.

Although a diminutive side street runs between the 38-storey 25 Capreol tower and the 17-storey edifice at 8 Telegram Mews, residents of both buildings share a spectacular set of amenities. Housed within a separate modern structure placed between the two towers, residents have access to an indoor swimming pool, fitness facilities outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, steam rooms as well as saunas, and entertainment spaces like a billiards room and a lounge.

Finally, residents are well prepared to be the most gracious of hosts. There’s ample underground parking and top-notch guest suites, perfect for accommodating friends or family members who come to visit and can’t bring themselves to leave at the end of the day.

Home to a vibrant community of residents, 25 Capreol and 8 Telegram Mews is home to an incredible 706 suites in total. A variety of floor plans can be found throughout the two buildings, from studios, to one bedroom suites with a den or a study, and even two bedroom plus den homes. In terms of numbers, sizes span approximately 400 to over 3,000 square feet – some of the larger suites even covering two levels. And many of these floor plans extend out onto one or even two private balconies. Compared to other CityPlace condos for sale, units in this complex are around average.

Even though 25 Capreol and 8 Telegram Mews houses such a large community, Concord Adex carefully constructed all the suites to ensure they would be both comfortable and modern. Their open-concept floor plans flow well, and feature modern interior design finishes. And for downtown Toronto condos, the views from these buildings are exceptional thanks to their locale beside Lake Ontario and the Canoe Landing Park.

In addition to the desirable suites, the complex also contains convenient commercial options. Indeed, Concord Adex’s development of this master-planned Lakeshore community has drawn a diversity of eateries and an array of boutiques to set up shop here.

Moreover, the city at large is fully invested in the CityPlace neighbourhood. An impressive new library was recently built on Fort York Boulevard at Bathurst Street. Similar to the Luna and Luna Vista at CityPlace, this stunning new addition to the city’s beloved public services was also designed by KPMB Architects.

Getting around the city is a breeze for those living in 25 Capreol and 8 Telegram Mews — even if they don’t drive. The TTC’s 121 bus stops at Capreol as its travels along Fort York, while the 310 streetcar stops a short walk away at Bremner Boulevard and Fort York. Conveniently, both the 121 bus and 310 streetcar carry riders toward the city’s major transport hub, Union Station in about fifteen minutes. Here, residents can find subway trains, as well as GO Transit buses and trains, VIA Rail trains, and the UP Express service to Pearson International Airport.

And for those who drive, residents are also well positioned. The roadways around the CityPlace neighbourhood are efficient for drivers moving throughout the immediate area. And for those travelling further away from the city centre, drivers can access the Gardiner Expressway, via Spadina Avenue, which is just east of 25 Capreol and 8 Telegram Mews.
