455 Adelaide - 455 Adelaide St W

455 ADELAIDE

ADELAIDE ST W & BRANT ST

Occupancy: May 2008

The 10-storey building will stretch north to Adelaide Street and toward Morrison Street to the east. It will house 93 lofts and 10 two-storey, modern townhouses that will be integrated into, rather than separated from, the main structure. One end of the townhouses will have floor-to-ceiling windows on both the first and second floors.

Located in the heart of the fashion district, the building will feature an exterior of large glass panels and sand-coloured precast concrete.

The developers' desire to merge architectural design with public space, landscaping and art will be best demonstrated by a Zen-influenced atrium, which will contain an orchard and a sculpture garden. Inspired by St. Andrews Park across the street, the urban compound will have cast-in-place concrete walls that create a two-storey, outdoor space to guide guests from the north entrance to the main lobby. An elevated walkway will lead to a wooden bridge that will hover above a water feature.

The lofts at 455 Adelaide will range from one- and two-bedroom suites to penthouses featuring two terraces with more than 1,000 square feet of space. The townhouses will have large private gardens and range from 1,186 to 1,652 square feet.

Units will feature Cecconi Simone interiors with floor-to-ceiling windows and glass sliding bedroom doors. The floors will be pre-engineered hardwood or polished concrete, complemented by exposed concrete ceilings and columns with flared capitals.

The open-concept kitchens will have islands, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Bathrooms will have deep soaker tubs, Corian vanities, and oversized shower stalls. Units will be prewired for the use of a range of communication and entertainment devices.

A monthly fee of 30 cents a square foot will cover the maintenance of all common elements, as well as building insurance, heat, water and air conditioning. There will be surveillance cameras in common areas and carbon monoxide detectors in all suites.
