Though it won't launch till May 29, 12 Degrees, a new condo planned for Beverly and Queen, is already getting some interest on and offline, due to its design, its low-rise stature and, of course, its location.
At 11-storeys, the 90-unit building is part of a new wave of development in the city, urban infill that joins communities rather than building new ones.
It's the first project for the BS�R Group, a collection of young builders headed by Tyler Herschberg and Tarek Sobhi, with various sorts of previous experience.
"We're not looking to create the next Liberty Village," says Hershberg. "We're looking to put proper density and intensification into areas where people want to live."
The site is an odd collection of properties, all bought from the same Swiss family, including some rental housing, some commercial property and a couple of laneways.
The demolition schedule depends on the pace of sales, but since it's a relatively small-scale building, Hershberg expects it to be completed roughly 18 months after they begin construction.
The building takes its name from the fact that above the podium, the first layer of four storeys in this corkscrewing building, designed by
Core Architects with interiors by it-firm
Munge Leung, will be shifted 12 degrees off the building's north-south axis.
12 Degrees will also feature a full-size roof-top pool.
Units will go from the $300s to just over a million for a three-bedroom.
