IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS Residents of 89 Avenue Road don’t just love the esteem that comes with their sought-after location, they’re enthralled with the details that make up the building’s façade and interior. The ultra-lavish 89 Avenue Road is more than a coveted address — it’s opening residents’ eyes to what life looks like at one of the city’s most luxurious and desired residences. It starts with the façade. The 20-storey narrow building doesn’t look like a typical Toronto condominium complex. Architect Richard Wengle wanted to move away from the traditionallooking building and bring in a pre-war design using luxe materials such as limestone, granite, marble and bronze. “It feels like it’s always been there. It’s very elegant looking. And because it’s narrow and tall, it’s interesting to look at. I used a stepping technique for the windows. It looks simple, but it was quite complex,” says Wengle. “We did want it to look and feel like a classic building, and we accomplished that.” The interiors are equally impressive. Frank Mazzotta, president of Armour Heights, says the project has shown positive customer satisfaction since its inception, and one of the main reasons is the incredible list of interior details and finishes. “Our residents appreciate the time that has been spent with them in the presentation gallery customizing their suites to their specific requests and needs. This is something that is unheard of in the industry.” They are most impressed with the level of offerings
