LTD

As if the developers simply couldn’t decide, the LTD Condos stands for two things: “Living Totally Downtown” and “Lakeshore to Downtown.” While the choice creates some confusion, both are accurate representations of the building, and residents are free to pick one and stick to it.

Built in 2012, the structure is a classic combination of red brick, concrete, steel, and glass. ArchitectsAlliance, Quadrangle Architects, and RAW Design did manage to give 15 Bruyeres Mews some flair, though: an interesting grid-like brick design frames the balconies that extend out of the building’s podium.

The 15-storey building, which was developed by Malibu Investments, contains just less than 200 homes and plenty of retail spaces on ground level. And while the architecture isn’t especially startling or innovative, the landscaping is quite impressive. The outdoor space surrounding 15 Bruyeres Mews was carefully designed to create a European atmosphere for residents living in the building.

The list of amenities at the LTD Condos also exceeds the expectations of many prospective buyers. While features like a 24-hour concierge and on-site security are standard, the building also boasts a sizeable party room that includes billiards tables, a kitchen, and a television.

There’s an additional lounge with a fireplace and outdoor area, as well as a rooftop terrace (on the roof of the podium level, to be precise) with a garden, barbecues, and plenty of seating to go around. And best of all, this outdoor space faces southwest, meaning stunning viewing sessions of the sun setting over Lake Ontario.

Fitness fanatics can also rest easy knowing there’s a state-of-the-art gym at 15 Bruyeres Mews, equipped with cardio equipment, weights, and an aerobics space. Residents have access to a meeting room and fireplace lounge as well, while their visitors will have no trouble finding parking thanks to the ample visitor spots at the LTD Condos — or they can even stay the night in one of the building’s guest suites.
