Four Seasons Private Residences

A warning for anyone on an extremely tight budget: reading the following details may cause tremendous envy, brief yet intense periods of distress, and a lingering resentment toward residents of the Four Seasons Private Residences.

So while we admit that the intro above might have been meant as a joke, it also has a bit of truth to it. Just consider this one fact, and you’ll see what we mean: a penthouse unit on the 55th floor of the residences at 55 Scollard Street & 50 Yorkville Avenue was sold for a staggering $28 million around the time of the building’s 2012 construction.

Yes, you read that right. Twenty-eight. Million. Dollars. It’s no wonder this sale broke the record for the priciest condo ever sold in Canada. Thankfully, however, not all of the homes at the Four Seasons Private Residences are that opulent.

The complex is made up of two towers, one sitting at a pretty 26 storeys, with the other soaring to 55 floors high. The lower 20 storeys of the taller building actually houses the Four Seasons Hotel, and while some would prefer to share an entryway with the stars who stay there, the residences have their own lobby and front door on Yorkville Avenue. The smaller of the buildings has its front entryway at 55 Scollard.

A 9th storey walkway connects the two buildings, allowing residents of both 55 Scollard and 50 Yorkville Avenue to access the Four Seasons’ many amenities. These include, but are not limited to, a spa, sauna, gym, and swimming pool, and residents can even have their cars parked by valet staff for when they really feel like living in luxury.

The project was spearheaded by Lifetime Developments, while Yabu Pushelberg and Gluckstein Design Planning are responsible for the graceful finishings.
