Birchley Park, a new 19-acre master-planned community proposed by Diamond Kilmer Developments will be a community within a community and will offer residents the very best of four-season wellness living, in one of the city's most desirable areas.
This is the second project for Diamond Kilmer, a formal partnership between long-time collaborators DiamondCorp and Kilmer Group and will total 665 suites across two mid-rise condos and back-to back townhomes. Phase one will consist of:
- 375 suites and 22 back-to-back townhomes
-19 acre site
- Retail at grade
- Extensive parkland, both as part of the central courtyard and adjacent public park
- Balconies, patios or terraces
- 30,000 sq. ft. of private, four-season, indoor and outdoor amenities
- Year-round swim spa
- Fireside terraces
- Outdoor gym, BBQ's and al fresco dining areas
- Indoor gym
- Sauna, cabana lounge
- Catering kitchen
- Zen garden
- Co-working spaces
Toronto Storeys states that the development itself is built upon a foundation of community wellness and green intentions, with those elements woven through its design and internal systems forming part of the project's "LiveWell" health and wellness program.
Diamond Kilmer is pursuing LEED certification for the project, which is a wellness win in and of itself. They are incorporating a geo-exchange system, which will be available to the condos.
Geo-exchange is a clean, renewable energy system which draws moderate heat from the ground and is used to heat and cool the building. Not only does it reduce the need for fossil fuels, but this system also produces almost no air emissions, while still offering all of the same comforts of a traditional condominium. It is like getting in-suite temperature control, plus the added benefit of cleaner air and a reduced carbon footprint.
The LiveWell program operates via a smart home system, and features a range of offerings, including:
- Smart thermostats
- Smart parcel storage
- Smart building entry
- EV charging stations
- High-speed internet
Through the Birchley resident app, users will be able to book amenities, the elevator, track parcel deliveries and access a virtual bulletin board.
The development will also attract empty nesters ready to unload the upkeep of a single-family home, young families who are interested in condo living with great amenities, and even move-across buyers who want to be close to downtown, without having to live in the bustling core.
Birchley Park is a six minute walk to the Victoria Park Subway and just a few minutes more to the Danforth GO Station. The development allows residents to enjoy the conveniences of city living, plus direct access to remarkable on-site and natural amenities.
