Overview

The Phoenix Condos is a much sought-after building, for its aesthetics as well as its locale: it’s situated the heart of the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, where Davisville Avenue meets Yonge Street and becomes the charming Chaplin Crescent. Named after a mythic bird who rises again and again from its ashes, the conversion of 1901 Yonge Street was decidedly less dramatic — but the end result is still impressive. The 1964-built office building was transformed into the Phoenix Condos in 1995 by Iron Developments.

Standing at 11-storeys, the building seems as if it could have been a condo all along. The condo features a vast array of blue-tinted glass, with a plethora of balconies spread throughout the façade that offer residents some captivating views of the treetops in the neighbourhood.

The Phoenix Condos also feature a penthouse level tucked away from the edge of the building. This carves out space for a long, south-facing common terrace. Not only is this space showered in sunlight, but it’s also equipped with barbecues and boasts stunning views as well.

And yet the rooftop terrace is just one of the amenities found at 1901 Yonge. Resident also enjoy access to a well-equipped gym, as well as a sophisticated party room. And when residents come home after a long day, they receive a warm welcome from the concierge, stationed in the elegant lobby 24 hours a day.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. 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.
