Aura

Aura Condos at College Park is home to a whopping 995 units, although that number seems all the less whopping when taking into consideration the fact that the building reaches 78 storeys.

Yes, you did read that right. At a staggering 78 storeys, 386 Yonge Street is not just the tallest Toronto condo — it's the largest condo tower in the country. Breaking this record in 2015, Canderel Stoneridge and Graziani + Corazza Architects are the tag team behind the building that allows its residents to “live the sky life.”

And whether one likes it or not, residents will be reminded of home from anywhere they happen to be in the city — all they have to do is look up.

A granite base at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard is topped with a slender glass tower with hints of steel. Inside, a huge, hotel inspired lobby is ready to make residents and their guests feel blessed.

Naturally, in a building so large the architects and developers were sure to leave plenty of space for amenities. Living at 386-388 Yonge Street means access to a party room, a theatre, a sauna, visitor parking, a meeting room, security and 24-hour concierge services, guest suites, and billiards room.

386 Yonge Street even boasts a gym with its own name: “Hard Candy.” Make of the name what you will, the 40,000 square foot space features registered massage therapists and workout classes, plus Aura residents are even entitled to $100 worth of drinks at the gym’s juice bar. In actuality, the gym was designed by Madonna and named for one of her albums.

And to top it all off, there’s a rooftop deck on the 5th floor for residents to relax on, and below 180,000 square feet of retail space can be found. The numerous banks will come in handy on an everyday basis, but the Marshalls and Bed Bath and Beyond will certainly be useful to new residents who are moving in or anyone hoping to redecorate, and with trendy Yorkville to the north, those with more discerning tastes have unique options like InSTYLE Home & Rugs and Structube.
