For prospective buyers who want modern exclusivity and comfort without the congestion of downtown Toronto living, The Avenue at 155 St. Clair Avenue West may be the perfect choice. This midtown building features a stunning glass, stone and clay façade, creating a balance between modern architecture and classical design.

The building’s lobby is remarkable from an architectural standpoint, boasting a balance between opulence and sensibility with its marble floors, limed oak panelling, and a central chandelier finished in antique brass. One would expect nothing less from the architectural firm Page + Steele, which has been designing buildings in Toronto since 1926.

Standing at nineteen storeys, a southward view from The Avenue offers a spectacular view of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario from South Forest Hill.

The Avenue is situated in South Hill, which has been one of the preeminent gems of Toronto core (South of St.Clair West – North of Bloor Street) residential for quite some time.

Directly across the street from the building are Glenn Gould Park and Amsterdam Square, and if one were so inclined, the expansive David A. Balfour Park is only a short drive, bike or TTC trip away. Schools in the area include Forest Hill Collegiate, Upper Canada College, Avenue Road Arts School, The Bishop Stachan School, and Brown Junior Public School.

For weekend or afternoon entertainment, residents could visit nearby Castle Loma, the Spadina House Museum or the Lonsdale Art Gallery on Spadina, as well as experience the boutiques in Forest Hill Village.

Grocery stores nearby include The Kitchen Table on Spadina, Loblaws by St. Clair and Bathurst and The Market by Longo’s at Imperial Plaza (as well as an LCBO). For eating out, plenty of restaurants are in the neighbourhood, including the upscale dining experience at Scaramouche.
