Fitzrovia Adds 758 New Rental Homes to the Yorkdale Neighbourhood in Toronto
Three-tower community enhances the quality of rental living with multi-bedroom homes and wellness amenities designed for families and downsizers to live where they shop
TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Fitzrovia is proud to introduce Sloane, a three-tower rental community at Dufferin Street and Highway 401, just steps from Yorkdale Shopping Centre - Canada's premier shopping destination. This unmatched North York location offers residents access to world-class retailers, dining, and entertainment right at their doorstep, with convenient access to the TTC subway and Highway 401, offering easy connection to downtown Toronto and its surrounding regions. With virtual suite tours and leasing now underway, occupancy will begin in Spring 2025.
"At Fitzrovia, we build homes to bring much-needed supply to the market and create spaces that meet the diverse needs of our population. Sloane combines thoughtful design, a prime location beside Toronto's ultimate shopping destination, and exceptional amenities integrated with fashion, wellness, accessibility and lifestyle for families across generations," said Adrian Rocca, Founder and CEO of Fitzrovia. "The need for rental housing is growing among young families and downsizers alike. Our 758 new rental suites address this demand by offering multi-bedroom suites and townhomes, complemented by amenities such as healthcare access, childcare, transit, and concierge services—all designed to foster social connection."
Residents of Sloane will live where they shop with convenient access to Yorkdale Shopping Centre, home to 270 world-class stores, including the country's largest collection of designer labels and luxury brands as well as the finest in-home decor and technology.
Purpose-built for families across generations
Canada has an aging population, with seniors aged 65 and older expected to make up nearly 23% of the population by 2030. The number of renter households aged 55-74 in mid/high rise units in Toronto has grown by 65% over the past two decades. A selection of Sloane's thoughtfully designed suites include accessible and barrier-free features for seniors, such as accessible bathrooms with adjustable fixtures, wider doorways, and expansive layouts for family gatherings. Residents can also easily access complimentary virtual healthcare services through Cleveland Clinic Canada.
Family is at the heart of the Sloane community, with the majority of suites designed as two- and three-bedroom homes. Shabbat-friendly suites are also available, complete with customized locks and dual sinks, to reflect Jewish cultural and religious practices.
Sloane also features Bloomsbury Academy, Fitzrovia's in-house daycare and early childhood education centre offering Montessori-inspired education for children aged 18 months to 6 years. Just an elevator ride away from their home, Bloomsbury Academy provides bright, naturally lit classrooms, a dedicated outdoor play area, a curriculum focused on child development and support for busy families in the community and surrounding neighbourhood.
A vibrant community fostering wellness and connection
South Tower residents will enjoy a well-rounded selection of premium spaces, including a fully equipped fitness centre, a serene yoga studio, lively kids' room, vibrant party room, and versatile co-working spaces. Outdoor enthusiasts can also unwind on the expansive terrace and enjoy dedicated activity areas, all designed with comfort and convenience in mind.
Residents of the East and West Towers will enjoy Fitzrovia's signature LIDO infinity pool; STOA terrace; The Temple commercial-grade gym and yoga studio; The North Court, a Toronto Raptors indoor professional basketball court; all-sports simulator; and a wellness centre featuring a sauna, cold plunge, rinse shower, steam room, and more.
