Get Outside: Our Favourite Public Spaces in the City

Being a downtown dweller is great - everything is right at your fingertips, especially in our neighbourhood. However, sometimes it’s nice to break away from the concrete jungle and hustle and bustle of the city and head to a place with a more outdoorsy feel. It’s important to soak in as much Vitamin D as possible before the weather turns (you know how fast that can happen!), so why not spend your summer weekends hanging out at some of the city’s most popular outdoor, public spaces.

These are some of our favourites:

The Story of... The CN Tower

The CN Tower is an icon in not only Toronto, but in Canada. Standing at 1,815 feet you can see it from just about every neighbourhood in the city, and most of you have probably taken a trip to the top of it at some point in your life. The CN Tower put Toronto on the map as a leader in innovative architecture, but did you know that it was actually commissioned for a very practical reason?

New to Town? This One-Bedroom Rental is Perfect for you

New to the city? Not sure where to live, or dine, or workout, or how to get to the subway? All of those problems are solved when you’re renting in our building. If you’re just starting out in Toronto and are planning to live alone, we can definitely help make the rental process easier resulting in a smooth transition. Right now we have a one-bedroom rental unit - Unit 4611 - which is on our 46th floor, is 584 square feet, and has got everything you need for comfortable living in the city.

The Most Luxurious of Them All: Our 76th Floor Penthouse Suite Rental

With a new season comes the urge to make a change. If that change is a change of your scenery, we can definitely help you out with that. We’ve got some incredible rental suites available in our Aura building for people looking for a way to live the downtown lifestyle without committing to purchase.

Being the tallest residential building in Canada, having a great view of the surrounding city is a given. The unit we’re looking at today is on the 76th floor and is currently one of the highest rentals you can get in our building - it also just so happens to be one of our penthouse suites. If you’re looking for something more high-end (literally), then this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse suite rental is for you.

Thinking Ahead: The Most Futuristic Skyscrapers

The future is here! Well, almost.

For years, architects and designers have been obsessed with coming up with out-of-this-world concepts for buildings. An annual competition from eVolo calls upon people to submit the craziest, most futuristic idea for a skyscraper that they can think of, and entrants oblige. These concepts often centre around sustainability or surviving a post-apocalyptic world, but more often than not it’s just all about what’s on the outside.
