The Florian

With a name like Diamante Development Corporation, it’s no wonder the Florian Condos are rather luxurious. Known for building lavish residential buildings in affluent areas, Diamante made no exception when creating the condos at 88 Davenport Road.

Constructed in 2012, this high-rise condominium is home to 98 Yorkville condos spread out over 25 storeys. That may seem like an odd ratio — with such few homes compared to the amount of floors — however it will all start to make sense once we get into details about square footage.

Grand pillars supporting the spacious portico front entryway set the stage, as visitors and residents alike are reminded of the classy homes that lie within. Even passersby are aware of the building’s extravagance, thanks to the majestic, dark purple brick decorating the sleek glass façade. The base of the Florian Condos comprises the first four storeys, with a tower jutting up from this podium.

For those who still aren’t convinced about the posh lifestyles lead by residents, a word about the amenities should do the trick. Homeowners at 88 Davenport Road have access to a large Indoor swimming pool, party room, and common rooftop areas, as well as a gym, meeting room, guest suites, visitor parking, a concierge, and a games room.

Valet parking is available, although the environmentally conscious attitude may lead to guilty feelings for residents who choose to drive. Energy-saving water and heating systems are installed at 88 Davenport, and naturally the building also meets LEED standards.

Those with furry friends are in luck, thanks to the building’s pet friendliness. However, prospective buyers hoping to open a home petting zoo should be warned: the building's policy reads that the limit is two pets per unit.

But the crème de la crème would have to be the wine cellar and tasting room, ideal for residents with dreams of retiring and becoming a sommelier. It’s also perfect for people who simply love their wine. By joining the building’s wine club, residents are provided access to these facilities. Privileges for members include a cool place store their own private collection, as well as the ability to rent out the tasting room for private events.
