is defining the
future in dynamic Don Mills story BY Tracy Hanes
O
ne of the most exciting up-and-coming areas in Toronto is the Don Mills-Eglinton neighbourhood. With terrific shopping and restaurants nearby, as well as top schools and an abundance of parks and green space, the lifestyle it offers is hard to beat. What the neighbourhood didn’t have was new condominiums; that is, until the launch of Lindvest’s modern highrise, Sonic. It’s across Don Mills Road from the area’s most recognizable landmark, the Ontario Science Centre. The project’s name, Sonic, reflects the concept of the future, says Joseph Alberga, Lindvest’s sales and marketing director. And with all that’s going on in the area, the future is bright. The area is also home to the spectacular Aga Khan Museum and the Ismaili Centre. Nearby is a Real Canadian Superstore, the Shops of Don Mills, and E.T. Seton Park and the trails of Sunnybrook Park. And the proposed redevelopment of the Celestica lands, a 60-acre site at the northwest corner of Don Mills and Eglinton Avenue East into a mixed-use community with office, retail, residential and recreational uses will also bolster the neighbourhood’s vitality.
