6 THE UNEXPECTED LIVES HERE. INTRODUCING 88 NORTH. The first phase of a multi building, mixed-use development that boasts a unique integration of residential living with vibrant, street-related retail, as well as, restaurants, cafés, food stores and a hotel. All in an urban setting that s designed to enrich the Queen Street East neighbourhood. Located on a site bounded by Queen Street to the south, Shuter Street to the north and comprising an entire block between Mutual and Dalhousie Streets, 88 will be an exciting new downtown neighbourhood steps away from Yonge Street, Toronto s financial core, Ryerson University and an array of parks that make up Toronto s Garden District. 88 North is the first in a collection of distinguished towers compromising 3 residential buildings resting on a podium that fronts each of the principal streets. Innovative design with an European influence allows public access into central mews lined with shops and cafés with the showcase of this beautiful new space being a park inspired and reinterpreted by New York s Paley Park. It will be a place to gather and mingle. A totally new garden complimenting the architecture and community. Approach the residential lobby at the intersection of Shuter and Mutual and you will encounter a glazed screen wall that brings warmth to the street. Continuous glass canopies on Shuter and Dalhousie shelter pedestrians and shoppers, and a green canopy of trees along Mutual makes the neighbourhood even more inviting. Inside, you will discover a spectacular concierge hosted lobby leading to the tower suites and unique two storey loft residences with double volume living rooms, upper level bedrooms and deep enclosed balconies that are so spacious they can be furnished and used as semi-enclosed outdoor rooms. The same level of smart thinking went into the residential amenity spaces. All to be are conceived as an extension of your living space. Indoor amenities include an exercise room, party room and media room. The centerpiece of the outdoor amenities is the swimming pool located on the roof of the podium. It features a landscaped deck for lounging and meeting neighbours and friends. While 88 North is a truly stunning glass tower with a sculptural composition it s also so much more. It s an integral component of a new way of living with influences that extend far beyond the confines of its own site. The collective assembly of towers, retail and hotel plus the charming mews and park between them will create an exciting and memorable new home for Torontonians. This is where the unexpected lives _88QUEEN_BROKERS_PACKAGE_FINAL.indd 4 12/23/15 5:02 PM
