Overview

While it sounds too good to be true — the Beech House Condos is located in the highly sought-after Beaches neighbourhood at 353 Beech Avenue — the manpower behind these homes is what makes them so ideal. The co-development team consisted of an experienced private housing company, Mitchell Lofts, and a beloved community organization, the YMCA of Greater Toronto, and as a result, prospective buyers have been this modern boutique building ever since.

Mitchell Lofts, developers of the first legal loft condo conversion in 1982, brought their experience along in order to help execute this aspirational building in 2018. What exactly are these aspirations we speak of? For one, the YMCA has directed the designer Richard Ziegler of RZA to create a modern, engaging spaces for both those living at 353 Beech and the community at large.

And Ziegler did not disappoint. The six-storey Beach House Condos step back as they rise, showcasing a plethora or private terraces facing south towards Lake Ontario. Conversely, towards Kingston, the stone, brick and stucco façade frames the structure’s glass volumes — a vibrant interplay that’s reflective of what’s inside.

As expected of a development by the YMCA, a two-storey 50,000 square-foot facility is also located on site. This state-of-the-art YMCA includes a full-size indoor swimming pool and therapy pool, a gym, fitness studios, childcare services and programs for youth and community members. Beech House Condos’ Residents receive a free two-year membership to the YMCA, which is an asset not just to them, but to the entire Beaches community as well.

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.
