Construction is to begin later this month
on the final, 36-storey tower in the Essex condo community at Kipling and
Dundas in Etobicoke.
Park Nuvo, the fifth tower on the lot, will
have 333 units. Designed by Mississauga firm Graziani & Corazzo Architects,
who have also worked on Aura and College Park, as well as one of the existing
Nuvo towers on the site, which is being developed by Tridel.
The development began in 2000 and at the
time, the area was an unknown quantity to condo buyers, according to Tridel
spokesman Samson Fung. "Sales were slow for that first one because no one knew
the area," he says. "We had to educate people about what kind of area it was."
The lot is just southwest of where Dundas,
Kipling and Bloor all intersect, bordered by Aukland and St. Albans Road just
north of the railway tracks. In addition to its proximity to three major
thoroughfares and commercial strips, the towers are right next to Kipling subway
station.
