One Cole residents will also enjoy the benefits of a Living Wall in their exclusive amenity space, as well as a 20,000 sq.ft. outdoor landscaped courtyard. Residents will enjoy optimum workouts in the Fitness Centre, which will offer the most advanced line-up of cardio and weight-training equipment, as well as a Café Bar & Lounge with wireless internet capabilities and a multipurpose room. 24-hour Concierge service will ensure homeowners’ comfort and security, and a Resident Services Director will provide the ultimate in customer service and property management.

A new 26,000 square foot state-of-the-art aquatic centre will be built by the City of Toronto at the corner of Sumach and Dundas Streets, a short distance from One Cole.

Builder's Description:

The transformation of 69 acres of Toronto’s east downtown into a vibrant mixed-use community is being led by Toronto Community Housing and will occur over the course of six phases. Phase one will include approximately 589 condominium suites and townhomes and 338 new rental suites. One Cole is the first condominium within Phase One of the Regent Park revitalization, with 293 residential suites in two distinctive buildings. The 9-storey West Building will have 92 suites and the East building will be 19-storeys with 201 suites.

One Cole homeowners will have the convenience of three leading Canadian retailers at their door step: Sobeys, Tim Hortons and RBC Royal Bank. Located at the corner of Dundas and Parliament, Sobeys will host North America’s first Living Wall in a grocery store, which is composed of lush plants that will filter the air and remove pollutants.

One Cole is the first condominium to be completed in support of the 15 year Regent Park Re- vitalization Plan, showcasing the City of Toronto’s commitment to environmental sustainabil- ity. It offers 293 residential suites in two distinct buildings, the 9-storey West Building and the 19-storey East Building, as well as three-bedroom townhomes. The residential complex has been designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. One of the project’s most striking features is the 21,500 square foot outdoor amenity space located on the third floor. The complex is defined by the re-establishment of the traditional street grid and street-related building forms which have historically characterized successful Toronto neighbourhoods. Though thoroughly contemporary in design, these new buildings incorporate the traditional best practices of the city’s medium-density residential areas, with an emphasis on individual street entrances for units and the inclusion of porches and balconies, ensuring ‘eyes on the street.’
