68 Yorkville Avenue

A righteously regal residence in the Yorkville neighbourhood — The Regency Yorkville is an 18 storey building, situated at 68 Yorkville Ave. Looking for affordable Yorkville condos for sale? Look elsewhere, because these units can easily go for prices in excess of 7 figures, and the price per square foot is high, even by Yorkville standards.

The exterior features Art Deco design similar to buildings constructed in the 1920s and 30s — think, Empire State Building — but don’t be deceived by the style, as this property was completed in 2008.

Along with an assortment of desirable units, The Regency Yorkville offer some nice extras; gym, party room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, security guard, concierge, parking garage, and more.

Considering the price tags that come with these suites, these condos are best suited to established professionals, couples, families, and empty nesters. With a condo in this building, you have the best of what Yorkville can offer right outside your front door.

The Regency Yorkville is home to 58 luxurious suites, spread out over 18 storeys — which is exclusive to say the least. Speaking of exclusive, suite sizes range from 521 square feet for a 1 bedroom to a staggering 6000 square feet for a 4 bedroom penthouse.

Within these units, you’ll find marble floor tiles, hardwood floors, crown mouldings, gourmet kitchens with granite or marble countertops and stainless steel appliances, fireplaces, 10 foot ceilings, large private terraces, upgraded bathrooms, and spacious bedrooms. This should go without saying, but there are no fixer uppers in this building, so you won't be acting out your own reno show here unless you're making a few small upgrades.

Some units have incredibly luxurious features like towel warmers and steam showers in bathrooms, but even without those extras, you’ll still feel like you’re living in the lap of luxury — especially when you venture outside.

Home to the ‘Mink Mile’ which received its name for having the most expensive retail rents in the country, Yorkville has a boutique shopping experience unrivalled in Canada. When strolling along Bloor — you might feel like strutting — there are high-end shops like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Coach, Brooks Brothers, Tiffany and Co, and more. As well, you’ll find big box stores for buying birthday gifts for friends — let’s be honest, you have to be very special to get Gucci for your birthday.

For dining out, you have some of the best restaurants in the city in your neighbourhood; there’s Joso’s for seafood and a possible Drake sighting, L'Unità Enoteca and Blu Ristorante for Italian, Kasa Moto for Japanese, STK Toronto for a steak that’s grilled to perfection, Hemingway's Restaurant for pub food, and many more. There are also several bakeries and fast food chains nearby.

Entertainment options are quite diverse and it’s just a matter of individual taste — residents can sample galleries like Mira Godard Gallery and Ingram Gallery, walk to the ROM for the latest exhibits, or catch a show at one of the many theatres south of Bloor. Cineplex Cinemas Varsity and VIP is on Bloor for movie nights, and for a drink there are pubs nearby and plenty more in the Yonge and Bloor neighbourhood.

Should you need a dose of nature, you can enjoy walking trails at Ramsden Park or go on a big hike in the Rosedale Ravine Lands.

68 Yorkville Ave continues its trend of overachieving by boasting a flawless 100 Walk Score — as a resident of this building, you can easily run errands on foot, and might actually find it faster to do so. Even grocery runs are easy with a Pusateri's Fine Foods less than 2 minutes away on Yorkville Ave.

Public transit riders who commute have a great starting point; there are bus stops on Bay, Yorkville Ave, and Bloor. If you’re heading downtown, you can walk to Bay Station in under 5 minutes for subway service.

Car owners won’t need to stomach much time in city traffic — you can head south on Bay to Bloor, and then east to the Danforth on-ramp for the Don Valley Parkway; from there, it’s easy to connect to the Gardiner Expressway and 401.
