2900 Yonge Street

At 2900 Yonge Street in the Lytton Park & Allenby neighbourhood, across from where the Lawrence Ravine cradles the Alexander Muir Memorial Gardens, sits a condo that overlooks some truly gorgeous natural landscapes. Regardless, the Residences of Muir Park Condos, developed by Costain Limited, is impressive in its own right.

Completed in 1987, 2900 Yonge’s 9-storey edifice features a magnificent mix of modern and classic aesthetics. The way the designers formed the structure, with sleek expanses of windows and bays, as well as upper-level tiers adorned with terraces, is distinctly modern. The building materials, on the other hand — charming red bricks, stone accents, and hints of copper — are timeless.

The Residences of Muir Park Condos’ sculpted stone accents are meticulously detailed, which gives a classical feel to their architecture. This sense of opulence is echoed by the building’s impressive collection of amenities, located both inside and out. To start, there’s an inviting rooftop deck equipped with seating and barbecues, plus panoramic views overlooking the lush landscape at the footstep of the building and the city’s skyscrapers in the distance.

Down at ground level is where the posh lobby can be found, a space that also happens to be cared for by a 24-hour concierge service. Also inside, residents can find a well-equipped gym, including a pool and saunas. And when those living in the Residences of Muir Park Condos want to host friends and family, they aren’t confined to their own suites: they can put the posh party room to good use. Finally, when residents want some peace and quiet, they can enjoy the serenity of the building’s common library.

2900 Yonge is home to a vibrant community of residents who reside within its 72 Toronto condos. Their sizes range from approximately 1,500 to 3,800 square feet and are well suited for small families: they consist of two bedroom, two bathroom floor plans, as well as two bedroom plus den suites that boast two full bathrooms and a powder room.

While many of the Residences of Muir Park Condos’ suites offer access to a private balcony or terrace, every home in the building feels bright and fresh thanks to large windows that bring in an abundance of natural light.

While Toronto condos for sale at 2900 Yonge can often feel like a secluded retreat away from the city, especially considering the way the sprawling Lawrence Ravine surrounds the building, there are nevertheless plenty of well-established, urban commercial areas both north and south of the building.

Just north of the Residences of Muir Park Condos, the Yonge and Lawrence neighbourhood contains an eclectic array of cafés and shops. And to the south, about ten minutes away on foot, the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood is home to a plethora of sophisticated restaurants and stores. Better yet, sporty types will love frequenting the Lawrence Park Tennis Club and its neighbouring Lawn Bowling and Croquet Club.

Many major department stores and brand-name shops sit within this midtown Toronto business district at Yonge and Eglinton, highlighted by a popular mall, the Yonge-Eglinton Centre. In this mall, residents can browse for books at Indigo or catch the latest Hollywood release at the Silver City Cinemas.

Living on a major road like Yonge has its perks, especially when it comes to travel. For example, 2900 Yonge is just a short walk from a TTC subway line that runs deep beneath the Residences of Muir Park Condos. Accessible via the northwest corner of Yonge and Lawrence, the nearby Lawrence Station is convenient for those who don’t drive.

Trains from Lawrence travel along the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line, covering both uptown and the downtown core. And along the way, travelers have the chance to connect onto the east-west running Bloor-Danforth line, about a fifteen-minute ride from the building.

Finally, the building is similarly well positioned for those who drive, as the traffic in the immediate area moves quickly than in the congested downtown core. When one needs to venture even further from home, numerous highways are easy to access: residents can head north on Yonge to the 401 in under ten minutes, or they can drive east on Eglinton to reach the Don Valley Parkway in about fifteen minutes.
