Renaissance Plaza
Overview
Standing on the corner of Bloor Street and Avenue Road, you can see Renaissance Plaza rising above the stonework bell tower of the Church of the Redeemer. The 15-storey building looks like a mountain of concrete and glass with a column of windows down the middle that displays the elevators on each floor.
Accessed via Cumberland Street off Avenue Road, this property was completed in 1983 and since then it has been offering 127 quality Toronto condos for sale and for rent. Ranging from one-bedroom to two-bedrooms plus den, the suites are perched above ten floors of commercial space with efficient elevator service. The interiors are spacious and bright with an old-fashioned feel featuring generous entranceways, full separate kitchens with modern appliances, large living and dining areas, and upgraded baths. The property combines a simple elegance with urban convenience, delivering a rich opportunity to create a beautiful downtown home.
With striking views of the city and topnotch amenities designed for active, energized lives, Renaissance Plaza is truly a Yorkville condo, complete with all the fine dining restaurants, bars and clubs, boutique shopping, and intriguing art galleries just a short walk away.
