Gentle density comes to Scarborough by the lake

For years, Scarborough’s Birch Cliff has been touted as one of the city’s next up-and-coming neighbourhoods; even former Toronto chief city planner Jennifer Keesmat and real estate developer Brad Lamb have singled it out as a good place to invest. Part of the appeal is that the area is close to transit — the Danforth GO and Victoria Park TTC stations are nearby [...]

Modern townhomes for east Toronto’s historic Birch Cliff community

Bonnie Burak and Scott Hizaka expected to buy a small fixer-upper as their first family home a few years down the road. But those plans went out the window when a new door opened unexpectedly. By chance, they spotted the presentation centre of a new development of modern townhomes in east Toronto’s historic Birch Cliff neighbourhood last summer. It was then that home ownership became an immediate possibility for the couple [...]

City living with a side of nature

Downtown: a 20-minute drive. Bluffer’s Park: 15 minutes by bicycle. The Beach: a 30-minute walk. Lake Ontario: far as the eye can see. “Close enough, far enough” could well be the slogan for Birchcliff Urban Towns, a new collection of 52 townhomes on Kingston Rd., just east of Warden Ave. [...]

Beyond the Beaches

If you want a Beaches home, without the accompanying price-tag you might just have to cast your eyes a bit further east. The Birch Cliff neighbourhood, a pocket on top of the western part of the Scarborough Bluffs, is one such area. And Bryan Nykoliation, the president of Core Development Group, is so excited about it his company bought three pieces of land there [...]

Crosstown traffic

It's no secret that the coming Eglinton Crosstown LRT has been attracting developers to the uptown Toronto avenue like wasps to a fruity summer cocktail. There's heaps of money to be made providing TTC-accessible living space to young professionals and their families; people who, at this point, can only aspire to buy a "real" home, especially in such pricey eastbound neighbourhoods as Sherwood Park and Leaside [...]
