More details have been released about Chaz Yorkville, 45 Charles Ltd & Edenshaw Homes' new condo project on Charles Street, just east of Yonge Street in downtown Toronto. The 39-storey glass-and-steele building, designed by Sol Wassermuhl of Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, will be anchored by its five-storey podium made of heavy Ontario limestone. The 45° angled double-diamond design of the tower (with a nod to the Macy DuBois designed building currently on site at 45 Charles Street East) results in eight corner units on each full floor.

In addition to its central location – Chaz is within a fifteen-minute walk of Yorkville, the Church and Wellesley Village, the Yonge-University-Spadina and Bloor-Danforth subway lines, the University of Toronto and Queen’s Park – this new project touts its unprecedented amenities.

The Chaz Club, with its spectacular setting on the 36th and 37th floors, features a two-storey grand room with a demonstration kitchen, lounge, bar and an adjoining outdoor terrace with amazing views of the city.

The extensive list of amenities continues with a state-of-the-art computer gamers arena (a first in Toronto condominiums), a 3-D movie screening room, a Sports TV room, a Fitness area including exercise equipment, a spinning and yoga studio, massage chairs and hydra massage bed, a Business conference room, a Dining room with wet bar and catering kitchen on ground floor, a Billiards room, a Self-serve pet spa, One- and two-bedroom guest suites, 24-hour concierge. We don't think we've ever seen a longer list. Landscaping is by Toronto firm Land Art. The ground floor will have fireside lounge areas and two water features in the private walled courtyard garden with a bar and barbeque. The suite finishes include nine or ten foot ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, smooth ceilings, and wide-plank laminate flooring. Suite kitchens will have custom-designed Cecconi Simone cabinetry with an innovative backsplash with glass-shelf storage, and a Corian countertop and sink. Appliances include an energy-efficient refrigerator integrated within the matching stainless steel and wood cabinetry, a stainless steel dishwasher, ceramic cook-top, stainless steel self cleaning oven and microwave, integrated range hood, and stacked front-loading washer and dryer. Bathrooms also feature Cecconi Simone designed cabinetry, porcelain tile flooring, and Corian sinks and countertops. In addition, developer 45 Charles Ltd is making a concerted effort to appeal to female buyers, as suites have large closets, a full-length mirror, and a 6-foot-high recessed bathroom medicine cabinet. Chaz’s 420 studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom + den, two-bedroom, three-bedroom and penthouse suites are priced from the mid-$200,000s to over $1,500,000.
