Imperial Plaza

With its location in <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/midtown/yonge-and-st-clair">Yonge and St. Clair</a> near <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/midtown/forest-hill-south">Forest Hill South</a>, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/midtown/mount-pleasant-west">Mount Pleasant West</a>, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/midtown/rosedale-midtown">Rosedale - Midtown</a> and <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/yorkville">Yorkville</a> &mdash; four of Toronto&rsquo;s most luxurious neighbourhoods &mdash; it&rsquo;s no wonder the Imperial Plaza is filled with a little glitz and glamour of its own. After all, the 23-storey edifice at 111 St. Clair Avenue West was originally home to quite a profitable oil company.The headquarters for Imperial Oil was stationed at 111 St. Clair West since the time of the building&rsquo;s construction in 1957: the design was a result of a competition for a new Toronto city hall, which Mathers and Haldenby wound up repurposing. About 50 years later, Imperial Oil moved its business over to Calgary, allowing Camrost Felcorp to move in. Thanks to these developers, the Imperial Plaza is now home to almost 400 stunning soft lofts in <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/midtown">midtown Toronto</a>.The limestone fa&ccedil;ade at 111 St. Clair West is both elegant and robust at the same time. Aluminum and bronze window casements add lavish details to the exterior, while the trend continues once inside the double-height lobby. Here, a pair of impressive murals by York Wilson can be found, along with plenty of marble and granite.One benefit of the era in which the Imperial Plaza was constructed is its durability: built with the fear of nuclear war in mind, this might just be one of the most resilient residences in the city. The entire frame is even welded together, which is more stable than the modern tendency to use riveting.All residents have access to music studios, virtual golf, squash courts, yoga studios, a games room, a gym, a swimming pool and hot tub, two movie rooms with stadium seating, and a courtyard designed by Janet Rosenberg + Associates. However, those living in the penthouse units are afforded a little something extra as well: owners on uppermost levels have access to a separate concierge service and an exclusive gym and lounge on the 8th floor, plus express elevators leading straight up to their homes.

Balfour Park, or head down Avenue for some high-end shopping. And as for the necessities, no one has to go too far thanks to the Longos and LCBO located on the ground floor.While the Longos downstairs is not the largest grocery store in the city, residents looking for something specific can head over to the massive Loblaws at St. Clair and Spadina.
