In a neighbourhood that is increasingly characterized by high rises, a developer broke ground last week for a new small condominium.
Rockport was the developer of Toronto's first condo, and Jack Winberg, son of founder Bert Winberg, broke ground on
Twenty One Clairtrell with the same shovel used to break the ground on that 1967 project, which has been used for every ground-breaking since.
"Clairtrell I think is going to be an outstanding project," Jack Winberg says, "one of the most outstanding projects we've ever done. A wonderful boutique project in a wonderful residential neighbourhood. It's going to bring a style of condo living to The Bayview and Sheppard neighbourhood that they don't have now. Most of the them are built in large complexes, with lots of wind tunnels and lots of traffic. It's going to be on the edge of the built up areas, and across the street are town homes and schools. There's going to be a quiet neighbourhood feel to the place.
The eight-storey building will have 128 suites between 550 and 2,400 square feet.
