Couture

Before anyone gets too excited — no, this isn't Haute couture or Randy Couture, so if you've coming looking for the fashion company or the retired professional fighter, you're in the wrong place. However, if it's downtown Toronto condos for sale that you seek, we've got just the thing.

Balconies and paned floor-to-ceiling windows give the façade of the Couture Condos an interesting geometric look. With a name like that, the building has no real choice but to be fashionable.

And yet the glass tower at 28 Ted Rogers Way is on trend in more ways than just one: it also happens to be eco-friendly. The developers, Monarch Developments Ltd, is a member of the Canada Green Building Council, and as a result this building boasts an efficient water heating system, efficient appliances, low VOC paints, and individual hydro monitoring and low flow faucets in each unit.

Graziani + Corazza Architects came up with the design for the structure, which was completed in 2013. The tower reaches to a staggering 42 storeys, and holds 476 Toronto condos. Residents not only live in a chic and green building, but they also have access to a long list of amenities. Fitness buffs will get plenty out of the gym and indoor swimming pool, while a post-workout sauna or Jacuzzi is never a bad choice.

Social butterflies, on the other hand, can make use of the building’s party room, which also happens to boast a caterer’s kitchen. If a party seems like it may last late into the night, hosts can put some of their guests up in one of the two guest suites. And to top it all off, those looking to get out of the house (without actually leaving the building of course) can head over to the billiards and media room or the theatre room.

As for the features that keep everything running smoothly, 28 Ted Rogers Way is equipped with a 24-hour concierge, visitor parking, and a property management office right in the building.
