The Mercer is about to kick it up a notch in Toronto for self-assured urban professionals, creative entrepreneurs and others from the “ME” generation looking for the perfect place to call home. This über-cool condominium is coming soon to John and Mercer Streets, a stone’s throw from the most exciting part of the city’s entertainment district. From the surroundings that pulsate with energy, to the building’s tony amenities and sleek suites, The Mercer will deliver a lifestyle beyond compare.

This condominium is the creation of Graywood Developments Ltd., the developer and builder of The Ritz Carlton, Toronto, which is turning heads just down the street, and Beaverhall Homes. The Mercer will place you close to major theaters, sports venues, Lake Ontario and the Financial District. Catch a movie at the new Bell Lightbox, enjoy dinner at a trendy restaurant, then a nightcap at a hot club. Public transit is steps away, and an entrance to the PATH System is across the street.

To ensure a spectacular building, the developers selected a design team with expertise in transforming urban environments to satisfy an increasingly sophisticated market. The exterior by BBB Architects, a pre-eminent Canadian firm renowned internationally for its design flair, will feature expanses of glass with brick detailing. The design honours the area’s industrial heritage while energizing the streetscape with a modern feel.

The Design Agency, a dynamic Toronto-based studio known for innovative and thought-provoking design, has created chic, luxurious amenities – both indoors and outside - that will be tastefully decorated and furnished for comfort and style. The outdoor amenity space on the 6th floor roof of the podium will be nearly half covered by green areas, including the building’s second verdant living wall (the first is in the lobby), and accommodates a variety of leisure activities including lounging by a tranquil water feature.

The Mercer’s beautifully designed suites include sumptuous features. The suites, studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom + den, two-bedroom and three-bedroom designs range in size from 363 to 1,133 sq. ft. Prices begin from mid $200,000s.
