Lakeside Condos is a new multi-phase high-rise residential development project presently in the pre-construction stage. It is   Lower Sherbourne area, where it’s currently home to a FedEx shipping centre. Greenland Group is spearheading this ambitious, soon to be iconic mixed-use venture, along with Hariri Pontarini Architects who will be responsible for the design of the complex. Total residential units for the first phase of the FedEx Ship Centre site is 1148 luxury suites, the 49 storey tower will have 590 units, 39 storeys will have 376 units and the 14 storey 182 units. The project will house a total 8 buildings. In addition to the two striking condominium towers, a collection of townhomes and several low and mid-rise buildings including an office spire will be built along with retail space and a park. The expected occupancy date is tentatively set for 2020.

The two primary towers will be situated atop a podium along the eastern portion of the site and are devised to work in tandem, as one sculpted component. It draws inspiration from the two sails of a sailboat, the towers work together like the main and head sails with massing that looks to trap the wind with arched exteriors that shape gentle bows. The western portion will feature a mixture of townhomes and low and mid-rise buildings. The project is arranged to tie into the present pedestrian realm with a pedestrian path connecting the site to the Daniels Waterfront promenade.

Currently there is no final tally as to how many suites the whole development project will have - nor amount of commercial or public space info is still available. That has yet to be determined as per Hariri Pontarini Architects, as the numbers are still being worked out. Although one can anticipate exquisitely appointed layouts that will be well-proportioned for comfortable living. We can only guess at this time that they will typically have every type of layout for every discerning buyer, like 1 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms for young professionals and empty nesters and for the young families 3 bedrooms layouts will be spacious and bright. Features may include up to 9 foot high ceilings, engineered hardwood floors throughout and floor to ceiling windows. The contemporary gourmet kitchens will be accompanied by stone countertops, stainless steel integrated appliances, stainless kitchen sink, laminate wood cabinetry and glass uppers with a tile backsplash and polished hardware. The modern baths will encompass top finishes that can consist of laminate wood cabinetry with a polished marble countertop and backsplash, top quality hardware and spacious master bedrooms with walk-in closets. Outdoor spaces are one of the key design features offering expansive balconies and or terraces. The floor plans may range from one to three bedroom units with concomitant dens. Starting prices will begin from the high $300,000’s.
