Leaside Common, the first mixed-use condominium development at the new Bayview/Eglinton LRT station by Gairloch Developments, in partnership with Harlo Capital. A project that brings a new form of mid-rise condo living to the Leaside neighbourhood with its bold masonry design.
Reasons to Buy
A Unique Project
Own one of very few new condominiums in Leaside. A unique opportunity to purchase in a neighbourhood, where supply of high and mid-rise property is limited. Leaside Common is the only development with market condos on Bayview & Eglinton across from the newly-built Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
Leaside features a wonderful collection of shops and restaurants. Which is its antique shops, specialty stores, and neighbourhood pubs, that attract a clientele from all over the city. It is also home to some of the city’s top schools and lush greenery.
“After having lived in the Leaside-Bennington neighbourhood, my admiration and understanding for the community has only grown,” says Bill Gairdner, founder and president of Gairloch Developments. ”It’s been an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to develop two mid-rise developments on the same street in such a great neighbourhood. I believe that this project embraces the exciting changes that are coming to this node of the city with a building design that will hopefully stand the test of time.”
Build & Design Quality
The project will appear like two boutique buildings attached at the hip. Clouded in glass, the central connection introduces a design concept called the Nest, a shared open space on each floor that brings both sides of the development together.
The Nest will function as both a co-working lounge and a community hub where people can congregate. At nine storeys, the condominium will span 103 metres and feature 198 units ranging from studios to three-bedroom penthouse suites, including 10 townhomes.
Building on the theme of a warm brick building embedded in lush neighbourhood greenery, the designers aspired to bring natural outdoor elements to the interior amenity spaces.
