As Pemberton Group and Felcorp’s Neon Condos tops out, Yonge and Eglinton has another great option for condo buyers looking to invest in the vibrant Midtown neighbourhood. With the podium built at the corner of Orchard View Boulevard and Duplex Avenue, crews are now pouring floor after floor of the 20-storey tower. Steps away from Midtown’s finest amenities, Neon Condos offers buyers a unique location on a quieter side street.
In contrast to some of the area’s highest-profile projects like Minto Midtown (Quantum) and E Condos, Neon Condos doesn’t tower above Yonge Street. Instead, the condo is going up one block west of Yonge Street. The difference means a quieter environment and views of the leafy low-rise streets west of Yonge Street.
The lively Yonge Street strip north of Eglinton is still just a block away. The subway and future Eglinton Crosstown LRT station is a five-minute walk away. The Northern District public library is right next door, and Eglinton Park is located down the street—a major green space in the area home to North Toronto Arena.
With 218 units, Neon Condos is a midsized building that can offer more amenities than boutique developments while fostering more of a neighbourly atmosphere than a larger tower or multi-tower development. Units range from 310 square feet to 1250 square feet, with 775-970 square-foot units still available, along with 1100-1250 square-foot townhouses.
Views northeast from the upper floors include a panoramic vista of the Yonge streetscape to North York Centre, the dynamic cityscape of Yonge and Eglinton and a forest of greenery—Toronto’s low-rise neighbourhoods appear a city in a forest from above. Other views will feature vistas of Midtown’s engaging cityscapes.
The façade is minimalist, but crisply detailed with flowing lines framing glazed walls. The building will also feature a concierge, fitness centre, party room and a rooftop terrace to take advantage of the views for casual relaxation or elegant entertaining.
Yonge and Eglinton bustles with the energy of many a downtown neighbourhood. While some developers offer a location right at Yonge and Eglinton, Neon Condos eschews main street frontage for a more tranquil location with easy access to the area’s best features. Residents can enjoy all of the neighbourhood’s energy while coming home to a peaceful Midtown side street.
