The Glen Condos

The east Toronto based Kingston Road Development Corporation&rsquo;s new homes at 580 Kingston Road are fantastic opportunities for many prospective homeowners, and evidence of the developer&rsquo;s devotion to their community. When developing this site near Main Street, expert planners, arborists, and soil testers were also brought in. The developers therefore ensured that the Glen Condos, along with their namesake the Glen Davis ravine, thrives for many years to come for the benefit of all those living in the community.Completed in 2016, the building appears timeless. Thanks to the brickwork and masonry adorning its stately fa&ccedil;ade, the Glen Condos seems as if it was always part of the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/east-end/woodbine-corridor">Upper Beaches &amp; East Danforth neighbourhood</a>. Garafolo Architects&rsquo; design for 580 Kingston exhibits thoughtfulness throughout, but especially when considering the glass and steel portion which makes up the final 2 levels of this 6-storey structure.While also adorning the classic aesthetic with a touch of modern style, this glass and steel volume again reveals the developer&rsquo;s care for the community: because of how the penthouses stand back from street level, the builder was able to accommodate concerns about neighbourhood atmosphere, while carving out large, private outdoor spaces for residents to enjoy.Additionally, 580 Kingston offers residents access to a great set of amenities. There are large rooms modernly appointed for business meetings and parties, as well as a flexible space for whatever residents may choose to use it for. Moreover, ample parking on-site means those living in the Glen Condos can generously host friends and family whenever they please.
