8 Park Road is a top-of-the-line condo building in Rosedale, Toronto. The 28-storey high-rise houses 297 lavish suites, and is located at the intersection of Bloor Street East and Park Road, just a block east of Yonge Street. Completed in 2003, the complex was developed by Minto Group Inc., a prominent builder in both Canada and the U.S. The company’s Toronto portfolio includes the Minto Water Garden in Old Thornhill and the Minto 775 in King West to name just a couple.

The beautifully designed soaring tower is extremely well-managed and offers such amenities as 24-hour concierge and security, a media room, a meeting room, storage lockers, underground parking, and a rooftop deck with landscaped garden and barbecue hookups. Residents enjoy close proximity to Yonge Street and its assortment of restaurants and food courts, lounges, fashion stores, chic boutiques, bakeries, coffee shops, and malls, not to mention the subway for quick access to various parts of the city.

Not to be outdone, the elaborate suites are meticulously designed and finished. They range from 470 to 1,350 square feet of living space, and feature an open-concept floor plan with hardwood floors, central air conditioning, all electric light fixtures, window coverings, built-in stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, marble bathrooms, and large closet spaces. The units also include large balconies with breathtaking views of the surrounding areas including the neighbourhood’s parks and ravines, the CN Tower, and Lake Ontario.

In addition to exquisite and tantalizing design, the complex is nestled in Rosedale, a name that conjures up images of luxury and grandeur. The area has been, and continues to be, home to some of the city’s wealthiest and most influential citizens. With a history that goes back to the 1820’s, Rosedale began as the estate of Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis and his wife, the granddaughter of William Dummer Powell who was a prominent lawyer and politician in Upper Canada.

Residential development in the area began shortly after the sale of the Jarvis estate which occurred in 1864. The majority of homes were built between 1860 and 1930. Today, Rosedale’s architecture is still reflective of the era’s look with an addition of newer arrivals in the form of townhomes and condo buildings.

When it comes to charm, prestige and style, few residences compare to those at 8 Park Road. And combined with a neighbourhood that is topped in affluence by only 2 others in the entire country, seeking domicile in the complex is a veritable no-brainer.
