Overview
A distinct find in the landscape of Toronto condos, James Cooper Mansion is located at the corner of Linden Street and Sherbourne, towering above the heritage-deemed James Cooper House. A wealthy industrialist, James Cooper built the house in 1881 and it served for some years as the Keeley Institute for Nervous Diseases until finally passing to Tridel developers who decided to transform the building into a modern condo residence.
The new tower stands at 33-storeys and offers over 270 Yonge and Bloor condos for sale and for rent, while the original house remains intact as the home to the building’s exciting amenities. Suite sizes range from one to two-bedrooms, featuring 9-foot ceilings, granite counters, large kitchen breakfast bars, plus private balconies. Seated within the Yonge and Bloor neighbourhood, an eclectic downtown experience surrounds you, featuring fun nightlife adventures, boutique shopping, arts and culture venues, and Toronto business bustle.
Most Notable Features
Friendly vibe: The concierge and staff at James Cooper Mansion are notably friendly and helpful. Plus the building attracts many young working professionals, making for a fun and community oriented living atmosphere from hallway encounters to building socials hosted in the amenities centre.
James Cooper House amenities: An energetic list of amenities awaits residents, featuring a gymnasium, yoga-retreat centre, and a full caterer’s kitchen and bar. But the real perk is that all of these extras can be found inside the original James Cooper House, an 18th century architectural landmark, attached to the front of the condo building.
Outdoor walking paths: Closer to the downtown core’s east end, James Cooper Mansion has the benefit of very close scenic walking trails. If you like the idea of getting outdoors, then you’ll love strolling through St. James Cemetery, Toronto’s oldest Victorian Gothic churchyard, and the trails of Rosedale Valley.

What Residents Are Saying
“I know most of the people on my floor, and everyone is very courteous and respectful of our shared community space. JCM socials are fun, and the building is gorgeous.”

“Quality construction. The heating and air conditioning system is strong. That was an issue in my previous building. One of the most important things for me is that a building be sufficiently sound proof. James Cooper mansion is a very quiet building!”
