It’s amazing what a little time can do! Last year, we talked about Empire Communities purchasing a plot of land on Lakeshore Road. We wondered what the future had in store. With most details remaining under wraps, the curtain has been raised, somewhat, as to what the site will look like, in future.

As indicated on Empire’s website, the project is now called Eau Du Soleil waterfront condominiums. Specific details are unknown at this time, however, the expectation is that this will be one of the most intriguing developments that Toronto has seen, in some time.

Empire describes this tower as being, “one of Canada’s tallest and most iconic waterfront communities”.

One word worth noting in the previous sentence is tall. The site’s previous owners had submitted an application to the city of Toronto to build two 50-story condominiums on the site, with a mix of lower rise residential towers. Empire appears to have scrapped that plan and is moving forward with a new plan that could really capture the attention of the Greater Toronto Area.

Toronto’s Humber Bay community has been an area that has been ripe for developments over the past few years. In years prior, Humber Bay was home to empty plots of lands and low rise underused commercial developments. It has now become one of the hottest spots for development in the city of Toronto, with iLoft and California Condos by Camrost Felcorp, Lago Condos by Monarch Group, Ocean Club by Graywood Developments and Beaverhall Homes. You can also add Onni’s Westlake communities and others to the list. Located at 2183 Lakeshore Road West, Eau Du Soleil will be built on one of the final empty plots of land at Humber Bay, the site of the former Beach Motel.

Toronto councilor Mark Grimes says that Mystic Point, located on the historic MacGuiness distillery lands, is one of the most exciting up-and-coming areas in the city.

“It is just steps to downtown, with easy access to the highway, TTC and GO Transit. You have fantastic views of the lake, and I am working with the City to expand the adjacent Grand Ave. Park and Mimico Creek Walking Trail,” he said to the Toronto Star’s NewInHomes.com.

Empire Communities is an award winning builder who brings a high reputation to everything that they build.  They focus on producing a quality product while serving the needs of their customers. Some of their landmark developments include FLY Condos on Front St. Schoolhouse in the Annex and The Modern on Richmond.

We will have more information on this development as it becomes available.
