Rising up 22 storeys on the north side of Glendora Avenue, west of Tradewind Avenue, Savvy will offer approximately 290 suites appealing to sophisticated city dwellers searching for a home in a vibrant neighbourhood. The talented team bringing Menkes’ vision to life includes Rafael Bigauskas Architects, which has designed this dazzling residence of pre-cast, glass and concrete. Strybos Barron King Landscape Architects have created the verdant landscaping and the interiors have been designed by Bryon Patton and Associates.

The lobby in particular showcases Patton’s sophisticated styling, with chic seating lounges, exotic eco-green planting, dramatic elliptical columns of light, rich polished wood textures, a shimmering crystal chandelier and lighted floating ceiling panels, all conceived to make an urbane design-forward entry statement. Upon entering, a courteous 24-hour Concierge will greet guests and residents, and those who like to entertain in a big way can book the high-style Party Room. A private dining room will be available for dinner parties, after which partiers can break out the latest board game in the Cards Room or view a flick in the Theatre Room. Active residents will appreciate the indoor swimming pool, the state-of-the-art Fitness Centre, saunas and change rooms. In addition, two guest suites will be available for overnight visitors.

The premium in-suite appointments include rich plank laminate flooring, granite kitchen countertops, designer cabinetry and sleek stainless steel appliances. Savvy is also being designed as a “Menkes Green” condominium featuring innovative environmental initiatives for a cleaner, healthier, energy efficient and more economical lifestyle – starting with its location at a subway hub, which will decrease vehicle use.

Magic-Pak meter technology and individual hydro metering will provide year-round, personally controlled comfort and electrical systems for maximum energy efficiency. Suites will be constructed with energy-saving materials and lighting – including an “all off” light switch, double-glazed Low-E windows and low volatile compound paints. They will also include features such as low-flow showerheads and faucets, and dual flush toilets to promote water efficiency. Topping off the list of eco-friendly features will be an innovative “green roof.”

Menkes’ experience and expertise speaks for itself - over 50 years of building excellence, understanding what works and never hesitating to pursue new ideas to improve and strive for perfection has built a solid reputation that can be depended on and trusted. Savvy is a brilliant example of this forward-thinking philosophy.

The Savvy presentation center will be located at 34 Glendora Avenue, one block south of Sheppard Avenue, east of Yonge Street. To register now for the Savvy Preview, visit www.menkes.com or call 416-730-1600.
