Fitzrovia has virtually completed the construction of a purpose-built rental housing project in Toronto’s Garden district.

Leasing has begun at the two-building Elm and Ledbury development, which is located near the intersection of Queen and Church streets. The first move-ins are scheduled for May.

The units include studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom suites. The project was designed by Toronto-based Hairi Pontarini Architects. Late highly acclaimed Canadian landscape architect Claude Cormier’s firm also partnered on the 510,000-square-foot development, designing what Fitzrovia calls the Mews, “a European-inspired, pedestrian-first retail arcade.” The company’s other projects include Toronto’s Berczy Park and Montreal’s Lipstick Forest.

The Mews’ retail outlets include a 10 Dean café and bar.

The development also contains a Bloomsbury Academy, described as a “Montessori-inspired” education centre for children aged 18 months to six years old. Luxury amenities include two rooftop pools, barbecue terraces, a penthouse entertainment kitchen, yoga and spin studio, wine dispensary bridge lounge and cinema room as well as a fitness centre, Formula 1 race car simulator, ski and snowboard simulator and double-height professional Raptors basketball court.

Residents’ perks include discounted Bloomsbury Academy tuition, free in-suite Rogers Wi-Fi, virtual healthcare from the globally reknown Cleveland Clinic and discounted onsite BMW rentals from Enterprise.
