Built by Alexandra Gate Inc. and designed by Gabor Associates, Alexandra Gate is a stylish condo building located at 2 Alexandra Blvd at the corner of Yonge Street and Alexandra Blvd. The 6-storey complex was built in 2008, and is comprised of 31 lavishly designed suites with retail space at ground level.

With over 30 years of design excellence, Gabor and Associates is a prominent architectural firm and recipient of a number of awards in both the Canadian and American condo building field. The firm’s projects range from condominium structures, to townhomes, to renoviations and additions in such location as Toronto, New York, and a few spots in Michigan.

The low-rise structure is one of the very few condo buildings given a B+ rating by Christopher Hume, a Toronto Star real estate critic. The design of the building and its suites is so appealing that the building virtually sold out during the first weekend it opened for sale. And while the building itself offers very little in terms of amenities, condo fees are considerably lower than those in buildings of the same style, elegance and location.

The capacious and luxurious suites range from 690 to 1,600 square feet in size, are very bright, and boast an open-concept floor plan, gorgeous hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows with custom dual blinds, wiring for surround sound throughout, designer track lighting, stainless steel appliances, a built-in washer and dryer, and large closet space. Residents have access to storage lockers as well as a well-lit underground parking garage.

The building’s allure is further enhanced by its location. Lytton Park is a Toronto neighbourhood that is synonymous with charm, elegance and sophistication. Residents enjoy a litany of shopping options along Yonge Street, Avenue Road, and Lawrence Avenue. Between these 3 shopping hubs, residents are within close proximity to virtually anything they may need including fashion stores, fine dining and casual restaurants, home improvement stores, gift shops, and grocery stores, as well as an array of professional services.

Outdoor activity options are also abound. Nearby parks include Herbert Begg – a beautifully-landscaped garden that was acquired by the city as a donation by Herbert Begg’s daughters, Otter Creek Park which houses an artificial ice rink, and Lytton Park which is where the neighbourhood gets its name.

By all standards, the Alexandra Gate, located at 2 Alexandra Blvd, is a fantastic condo complex that offers its residents the best in urban living both indoor and outdoor.
