The density of Yorkville's Hazelton Avenue will be increasing in a couple of years if things go right for Alterra and Zinc.
A new design for the existing building at 36 Hazelton, the former St. Basil's Catholic school built in 1914, was unveiled last week. The resulting condo will, in the way of such things, be called
36Hazelton.
"36Hazelton represents a unique response to context; combining cutting-edge contemporary architecture with a heritage address, while blazing new trails in the evolution of urban living," said architect Les Klein, principal of Quadrangle.
And he's not just blowing smoke on the evolution front. In addition to massing this building mostly out back, one of its features will be what they're calling a wine lounge, with 22 separate cellars for residents who like such things, and an adjoining tasting room for their friends.
Units will be between 1,073 and 4,693 square feet. Landscaping will be done by Holbrook and Associates and the interiors by the
Chapman Design Group.
If things go as planned, the building is expected to open for occupancy in the fall of 2013, when it seems
Mark Wahlberg will be moving in.
