On Friday, June 7, Lanterra Developments hosted a Topping Off ceremony for its Glenhill Condominiums now under construction at 2788 Bathurst St. Occupancy is scheduled for early 2025.

Glenhill Condominiums celebrates construction milestone at a special “topping off” ceremony

Almost as established as Toronto’s Bathurst and Glencairn neighbourhood are the families who live there, and Lanterra Developments is capitalizing on that with Glenhill Condominiums.

“There’s a more mature clientele looking to downsize from larger properties in the neighbourhood. They’re people who have lived here for quite a while and they’re looking to stay in the neighbourhood, but to downsize,” Andy Ramroop, Glenhill’s site supervisor.

“They’re still looking to maintain very good quality for the standard of a project, or building, they want to live in.”

Earlier this month, Lanterra hosted a “topping off” ceremony for its buyers, the milestone event marks “the culmination of dedication, innovation and collective achievement” as it reached the building’s top level of construction.

Glenhill caters to the needs of residents who already live in the area, some who have spent decades in this quaint neighbourhood.

The boutique-style building rises only 9 storeys and is home to 127 suites ranging from 800 to more than 5,000 sq. ft. with prices ranging from $1.4 million to $7 million.

The project will also feature a 23-room boutique hotel ranging from 500 to 1,000 sq. ft., to be called the Glenhill Hotel, as Lanterra notes there is a need for overnight accommodation in the area.

Glenhill Condos will have two pools — one indoors, the other outdoors — as well as two gyms and a yoga studio. There will also be a large party room that can accommodate an array of events, and an internal kitchen to service residents.

“These units were designed, specifically from the inception of the project, to be large units,” Ramroop said, noting there’s even been one buyer who bought two units and combined them into a larger suite.

“The size of the units are especially larger than what you find in most of Toronto, and that’s why a lot of downsizers are geared towards this project.”

Mark Cohen, managing partner at The Condo Store Marketing Systems says the Bathurst-Glencairn neighbourhood is one of the city’s preeminent postal codes because of how quickly homes appreciate there.

“There are probably more wartime bungalows that have been knocked down and built into 3,000 to 4,000 sq. ft homes than anywhere else in the city,” he said. “The resale value of detached housing in any specific location is generally the truest test of the value of a place to live.

“Glenhill is in an area surrounded by an abundance of new homes that are three, four, $5 million, and that bodes well for values, whether for end users or investors.”

Bathurst Street is also one of Toronto’s most important corridors for new home construction. From Lake Ontario to beyond Richmond Hill, the street’s importance is second to perhaps only Yonge Street.

But Bathurst-Glencairn is also amenity rich in its own right. It has easy access to countless coffee shops, restaurants, and there’s even a Pusateri’s where locals can buy fine foods.

Ramroop says its accessibility is what makes it attractive to all Torontonians.

“You have access to the 401, the Allen Expressway, Yorkdale is just a stone’s throw away,” he said. “The TTC is right there, so you can get downtown in 15 minutes, but live in an area that doesn’t have all the hustle and bustle.”

Lanterra Developments topped off Glenhill Condominiums. The nine-storey luxury boutique building, on the corner of Bathurst and Glencairn in Toronto, will welcome occupants in 2025.

The condo will bring 127 residential suites to the Glen Park neighbourhood, including one, two- and three-bedroom suites ranging from 800 to more than 5,000 square feet.

Residents will have exclusive access to curated services by The Forest Hill Group such as 24-hour concierge service and a dedicated parcel delivery room.

Amenity offerings include a ninth-floor lounge, outdoor pool, rooftop fitness centre, and a lower-level rejuvenating indoor pool with a hot tub, wet and dry saunas and treatment room.

Studio Munge designed the amenity interiors.

Architecture firm, Arcadis Architects (Canada) Inc., created a robust precast-framed podium with cascading balconies on the upper floors.

The project also features a 23-room custom hotel with a premier event space.

The vibrant and family-centric Glen Park neighbourhood in Toronto has a lot going for it — schools, synagogues, restaurants, shopping, transit. But Mark Mandelbaum, chairman of Lanterra Developments and a neighbourhood resident, noted one thing it didn’t have: a hotel.

As a father with five adult children living within a 10-minute walk of his home, Mandelbaum recognized there were others like him in the area with kids, parents or relatives visiting from out-of-town who wanted to stay close to their families. It was the inspiration for a new project integrating the luxury 23-suite Glenhill Hotel with the Glenhill Condominiums, a nine-storey building with 127 residences to rise at the corner of Bathurst St. and Glencairn Ave. in the neighbourhood that has a large Jewish population.

“I studied the market and there’s The Pillar Hotel in London, a converted monastery that’s a Jewish hotel with 37 rooms,” says Mandelbaum. “It’s very popular. In this area, whether you are Jewish or not, if you have family in the area, you don’t want to go downtown to a hotel.”

Mandelbam felt it was important the rooms be spacious enough to accommodate children travelling with parents (thus hotel suites are 500 to 1,000 square feet) and have amenities where guests can host dinner parties and other celebrations. The Glenhill Hotel will include a banquet facility, lounge, bar, and private event space. Guests will have shared access to the condominium’s ninth floor lounge, outdoor pool, as well as rooftop fitness centre and terrace with barbecues and a communal gazebo. Hotel guests and condominium residents will enter through separate lobbies, each will have a luxury lounge, a 24-hour concierge with porter service and a parcel delivery room.

The mixed-use Glenhill development will be a key component in Bathurst St.’s revitalization and help to animate that block. At street level, the building will add new retail and commercial space and on its west side, will include a 260-foot linear park from Glencairn Ave. to Hillmount. It will be close to planned new city amenities such as the proposed pedestrian bridge over Allen Rd. to connect the York and Kay Gardner Beltline Trails. The subway is a five-minute walk from The Glenhill, there are bike lanes along Bathurst St., and Hwy. 401 and Pearson airport are a short drive away.

“A block like this comes up once in a lifetime and has exactly the right dimensions. The stars were aligned,” says Mandelbaum.

“These are unique buildings. In a sense they are like little jewels and set very specific demographic targets,” says Mandelbaum, whose firm has built many larger-scale downtown developments. “Glenhill is unique in a number of respects and it’s personal for me. It’s the epicentre of the Bathurst community, in the heart of a vibrant, affluent community. It’s not an investor building but more for end users. Its units are much larger than typical units as people want to stay in the community and downsize from large houses. All of the institutional things and shopping are there. It’s not just a Jewish building. It will attract many different ethnic backgrounds.” The residential condo units will be 1,000 to over 5,000 square feet in size, priced from $1.1 million to just under $7 million.

Studio Munge will do the interior design for the project and its founder and design director, Alessandro Munge, has travelled with Mandelbaum on research trips around the world for multiple projects they’ve worked on together. “Thinking about Glenhill as a hotel and residential development, we were inspired by the collection of adventures, rather than a single destination because this property isn’t thematic; it represents a life journey. It is about the curation of memories and beautiful objects collected around the world.”

Munge says his inspiration for Glenhill Condominiums and Hotel was heritage reimagined, giving the building a sense of sophistication rooted in tradition, yet with a contemporary twist.

He says while the residences and hotel will be separate, there will be an amenity where families can gather under one roof. “Supporting that connection between individuals and generations is a great honour and incredibly rewarding.” The lobbies of condo and hotel will have stately columns clad with natural stone, lavish leather-panelled walls and custom-cut marble floors with metal inlays. The reception desk will sit in front of custom-designed screens and the lounges will feature a collection of high-end designer furniture and contemporary artwork. The hotel will be supported by hospitality consultant Tony Cohen of Global Edge Investments, one of the original owners of Toronto’s Thompson Hotel and Le Germain Hotel, and food service will be five-star level.

Condo residents will enjoy exclusive amenities such as a lower-level pool with hot tub, wet and dry saunas and massage room. Suites will have ceilings up to 10 feet, finishes that can be customized such as laminate or engineered wood floors, soaker tub and glass shower. A presentation centre at 2989 Bathurst St., a few blocks from where the Glenhill will sit, showcases what buyers can expect in terms of architecture, design and features.

A new study of the most affluent households worldwide by Luxury Portfolio International reveals the top three home ‘features’ are great internet connection (66%), quiet spaces for each family member (56%) and chef’s kitchen (53%).

Designer Alessandro Munge weighs in on top luxury features according to study of world’s most affluent households

The world’s most affluent homeowners may be looking for great internet connection, quiet spaces for family members, chef’s kitchens, home gyms and home theatres as the top five “luxury must haves” in their next home purchase, but here in the GTA, the concept of luxury is less about physical attributes and more about the experience a home delivers.

“Clients don’t come to me because of what’s been done. They come to me because of what they don’t know is out there,” says Italian designer Alessandro Munge, founder and principal of Studio Munge, who believes true luxury lies in discovering that one characteristic of a home that can’t be readily replicated, regardless of the cost.

To Munge, the recent study by Luxury Portfolio International — which lists top home features reported by more than 3,000 affluent worldwide buyers — reads more like a standard features list. In addition to the top five mentioned, homeowners participating in the survey also cited outdoor living area, home office, playroom, wine cellar, games room, on-property guest house, dual-key residence and rooms for live-in help, all of which sound lavish but none of which surprise Munge.

“It’s almost like saying, ‘I crave a glass of water every day.’ It’s standard,” said Munge. “If a client said, ‘We’re thinking the foyer has to be marble,” I’d be yawning. Of course you’re going to get marble – that’s not even a discussion – but what else?”

What the top tier of the luxury market really searches for as a must have, he stresses, are aspects that represent the next level of design. Rather than consulting a feature list, Munge treats each luxury home project as a blank canvas, looking to push the envelope by designing interiors that deliver an experience you can’t get anywhere else.

It’s an intimate process based on interviews and discussions to ensure the right fit with a client, and when it works, Munge lands on the one or two wow factors that will make a home priceless.

“We look for something they can emotionally connect to that is far beyond what their neighbour would have, far beyond what their friends would have, and more importantly, is specific to them,” said Munge. “In this market, it’s not about cookie cutter solutions. It’s a way of life.”

When designing interiors for the luxury condo market, a similar concept applies, but for a wider audience. A tagline for Glenhill Condominiums by Lanterra, a limited collection of lavish residences at Bathurst and Glencairn with interiors by Studio Munge, reads “a special place defined by its people.”

For Munge, that means predicting who is likely to buy there and designing public amenities that connect to them, such as personal fitness pods or the small boutique hotel for guests. In fact, you could say the very act of trying to compile a top list of luxury home features somehow lessens the luxury.

“It’s about creating parts of the home that say, ‘You can’t experience this unless you’re here.’ That’s the power and it has nothing to do with the cost of stone (or other materials),” says Munge. “… There’s nothing more you can put on the table that luxury homeowners haven’t already experienced, except more experiences.”
