Overview
The Mount Pleasant neighbourhood in midtown Toronto has been popular for so long, it’s easy to confuse developments like the Metro Condos at 119-139 Merton Street for much older buildings. Completed in 2000 by the community-oriented 119 Merton Street Developments, the Metro Condos was designed by Rafael + Bigauskas Architects.
In an effort to establish a vibrant community, the architects drew design inspiration for the 7-storey podium at 119-139 Merton from the heritage buildings in the surrounding area. As a result, the base of the condo features classic elements such as red brick, elegant masonry, and dormer windows.
In fact, the podium of the Metro Condos almost looks like a well preserved historical façade. Those in search of modern luxuries will be glad to hear that despite this aesthetic, the building was constructed just less than two decades ago. The construction process also resulted in a modern pair of towers above, which are thoughtfully set back from the street. Standing at 13 storeys high, many long balconies and a plethora of windows richly texture the clean design of these towers. To top it all off (literally), the towers are each crowned with sophisticated cornices framing their wraparound upper-level terraces.
Inside, the 119-139 Merton contains a generous set of contemporary amenities. Residents have access to a billiards room, a party room, an exercise room, and even a library. The Metro Condos also has enough underground parking to accommodate homeowners as well as their visitors. And while guests likely won’t drive all the way over to the building just to use the car wash, residents enjoy having access to this rather unique perk.
Finally, the building's atmosphere feels warm and welcoming throughout — and not just because of its heritage-inspired architecture. The grounds surrounding the building also boasts a welcoming courtyard with carefully cultivated gardens.

The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
