<\/a><\/p>\nThe Vanguard<\/a> is a 213-unit, high-rise condominium currently under construction at 7089 Yonge Street in Thornhill. The development by Devron<\/a> features elegant architecture, well-appointed suites and a keen focus on sustainability and family-friendly design. Construction has nearly wrapped up, as the project is now topped off and most of the exterior completed. Although the project is nearly sold out, prospective homebuyers still have plenty of options to choose from with available suites ranging in size from 900 to 1,900 square feet and occupancies scheduled for this summer.<\/p>\n Designed by Kirkor Architect + Planners<\/a>, the Vanguard is characterized by a two-tone facade. Dark design treatments on the higher floors contrast with the limestone-coloured precast that covers the majority of the exterior. At the base of the building is a two-storey podium that will bring 31,000 square feet of prime retail and commercial spaces fronting Yonge Street. Loft-like office spaces are also available for sale and feature 12-foot ceilings and flexible floorplans.<\/p>\n The Vanguard has been designed to achieve the Canada Green Building Council\u2019s LEED Gold certification \u2014 a feat achieved by only 23 buildings in the city. Developments that attain this standard are deemed, via third-party verification, to meet high-performance standards when it comes to both human and environmental health. Highlights include the use of 35 percent renewable energy, 20 percent less water than a standard building, 30 percent regional construction material and 20 percent post-consumer material.<\/p>\n Priced from the $800,000s, the suites at The Vanguard boast larger layouts than the average condo with open-concept living spaces, soaring ceilings and expansive windows. Plus, the final release of Signature Suites include premium upgrades like heated floors in bathrooms, Nest Smart Home Thermostat, hardwood or Everwood vinyl flooring, and motorized blinds in bedrooms and living areas. That\u2019s in addition to the impressive array of standard features and finishes including quartz countertops, custom built-in closets, and a fully integrated and panelled appliance package by BOSCH.<\/p>\n While the suites are spacious enough to accommodate families, residents will have even more room to stretch out by taking advantage of the expansive amenities. These include an elegant lobby, dedicated children\u2019s playroom, community vegetable gardens, multi-purpose rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness centre with yoga studio. And more greenspace is just steps away in the adjacent, three-quarter-acre public park.<\/p>\n To learn more about The Vanguard, visit vanguardto.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
