465 Burnhamthorpe Road W

A collaboration between developers at Amacon and Turner Fleisher Architects, the Avia Condos at 465 Burnhamthorpe Road West represents Mississauga’s past as well as its present. The building’s red brick podium is an ode to traditional industrial architecture, and above it a contemporary glass tower rises up into the sky.

The Avia Condos contains 568 units that are spread out over 45 storeys, as well as a generous list of amenities. Residents have access to a 24-hour concierge, underground parking, a terrace with barbecues and a dining area, a party room, kids play areas (indoor and out), a gym, and an outdoor yoga and meditation deck. Commercial spaces on the building’s ground level makes life all the more convenient for residents, while electric car charging stations are on site for those who drive green vehicles — or those who plan to in the future.

The Avia Condos is far from homogenous in terms of its suite sizes and styles. Homes in the building range from around 750 to 1,400 square feet, starting with junior one bedrooms and moving up to three bedroom plus den units.

What is consistent at 465 Burnhamthorpe, though, are the ultra-modern interiors. Every home contains an abundance of large, bright windows, and is designed using a minimalist colour palette. Wide plank laminate flooring features throughout the homes at the Avia, with kitchens boasting quartz countertops, Kohler faucets, and premium stainless-steel appliances. And best of all, many units come along with some sort of private outdoor space.

Not only is the Avia Condos part of Mississauga’s bustling Downtown Core neighbourhood, but it also happens to be located inside a master-planned community. Parkside Village spans 30 acres and contains 150,000 square feet of retail space, as well as over 5,000 residential units. And wen they want to get away from all the excitement, residents can head to any of the nearby green spaces like Zonta Meadows or the Dr. Martin L Dobkin Community Park, all of which are within walking distance of 465 Burnhamthorpe.

Travelling throughout Mississauga — and even into neighbouring cities — is easy with an address like 465 Burnhamthorpe. The 26 Burnhamthorpe bus carries passengers to Islington Station on the TTC’s Bloor-Danforth line in around 30 minutes, while the 103 Hurontario Express is great for anyone heading down to the lake. Drivers, on the other hand, can use the nearby 403 to get around the immediate area, or to connect onto the 401.
