FIVE CONDOS
Builder's Description:
The Yonge Street area south of Bloor is undergoing an exciting rejuvenation, and Five Condos at 5 St. Joseph is leading the way with architecture that marries innovation and restoration. Highly successful FIVE is the first condominium by Five St. Joseph Developments Ltd., which was formed by Graywood Developments Ltd. and MOD Developments Inc. They enlisted Hariri Pontarini Architects to create a design for the 45-storey modern tower that will carry residents into the future in style while incorporating components of the existing heritage architecture - all without compromising the old or the new. Construction is slated to begin this coming Spring on FIVE Condominiums, which will become a landmark in this strategic hub of many of Toronto’s most exciting amenities.
With the understanding that design excellence is an integral component of the revitalization of this area, Five Condo 's iconic design includes the restoration of nearly half a block of historically significant buildings on Yonge between Wellesley and St. Joseph. The historical preservation involves the restoration of the Yonge Street frontage, which will include new windows, roofs, storefronts and the cleaning of the original façades. The retention of the four-storey 1905 Gothic revival façade of 5 St. Joseph will be the largest façade retention ever undertaken in Toronto. The fronts of 25 and 17 St. Nicholas (six storeys) and 15 St. Nicholas (three storeys) will be documented and new façades will be built to match the architectural spirit of the originals.
