The Lonsdale

While a distinguished building and a vibrant neighbourhood are two things that often go hand in hand, the combination demands an attention to detail and service that often proves difficult to execute. Fortunately for prospective homeowners attracted to Yonge and St. Clair, the developers, Kenair Apartments, accomplished it twice: at 619-625 Avenue Road, the Lonsdale Condos’ pair of towers are filled with exquisite luxury homes.

Originally built in 1976 as an ambitious apartment complex, the building was completely converted into modern condominiums in 2003. Although the building was already excellent, and had been carefully maintained over the years, the conversion updated 619-625 Avenue’s mechanical and electrical systems, resulted in new party and conference rooms, as well as enhanced the condos’ fitness facilities, which includes weight and cardio spaces and an indoor pool.

The towers themselves did not require much work since the original design by the architectural firm Halcock, Little and Calvert remains elegant. Standing at 17-storeys, the refined design projects a sense of grandeur through its timeless classical proportions of modern glass and concrete.

Additionally, it would be shame not to mention the beautiful coffered ceiling gracing the lobby, located in podium between 619-625 Avenue’s two towers. Welcoming residents with sophistication, it also happens to be staffed by a 24-hour concierge and valet service.
