Located in the Yonge and Davisville area, the Allure is perfectly situated for people looking for laid-back living in the heart of midtown Toronto. Known for its small-town-in-a-big-city feel, the Davisville Village and Chaplin Estates area caters to growing families and young professionals. A world-class selection of restaurants, shops, boutiques, cafes, theaters and music venues is within easy walking distance of the Allure, and the Davisville TTC subway station is three blocks south of the complex. Entryways to the Don Valley Parkway, Bayview Extension, Allen Expressway, Highway 400 and Highway 401 are also easily accessible by car.

Up-to-date pre-construction pricing information is available from Jethro Seymour, a leading local realtor.

The nearby Beltline Trail is one of the neighbourhood’s most attractive features; this 4.5-kilometre trail system provides a serene green respite from Toronto’s busy urbanity. Extending from Bathurst Street East through to Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Moore Park Ravine, the Beltline Trail is ideal for a quiet walk, a leisurely bike ride and, during the winter, cross-country skiing if there is snow. In addition, the builder intends to remake the adjacent dead end of Glebe Road into a tree-lined carriageway to complement the refined, placid air of the Allure complex.

Unit Details and Maintenance Fees

Greenpark Homes prioritizes open, well-designed living spaces in all its projects, and the Allure condominium project is no exception. Principal rooms are generously in size, and customized cabinets, granite countertops and integrated modern appliances are standard equipment in every unit. Stylistically, the Allure combines contemporary comfort with classic elegance and was designed as a boutique-style complex that residents can truly call home.

Condo fees have not yet been concretely determined, but will be calculated according to standard maintenance fee calculations.
