Gorgeous Art Deco building in Toronto is being torn down for new development Toronto TorontoRealEstate RealEstate
The teardown of 155 Balmoral — along with a pair of semi-detached houses to the east at 145 and 147 Balmoral — will make way for a much larger retirement residence, to be known as Amica at The Balmoral Club., the new building will maximize density on the site at the cost of the current edifice's stylistic contribution to the neighbourhood. It will bring 147 luxury units offering seniors independent living, assisted living and memory care options.
Aesthetics aside, the new residence will offer several improvements over the facility now being demolished. Its footprint is arranged around a south-facing courtyard wrapped with ground-floor amenities like a dining room, bistro and craft kitchen. Additional amenities will be housed in a three-level section offering a library, conservatory, outdoor deck for light planting, gym, juice bar, dental suite, physio room, salon and pool.
