530 INDIAN GROVE CONDOS

On the West End, Toronto-based developers TAS, known for developments such as M5V Condos and Dia Condominiums, did a great job in 2016 with a stylish, eco-friendly residence that still exceeds sustainability standards  and fits well into a charming and very proud neighborhood. At 530 Indian Grove, Duke Condos celebrates the diverse and passionate community in Junction. In a neighborhood with beautiful historic architecture like the Annette Street Library and  Gothic row houses, you’d think  Duke Condos wouldn’t fit the concept, but the work of Quadrangle Architects successfully complements its surroundings. Overlooking Dundas, the front elevation of Duke Condos features a vibrant array of cantilevered windows and  living spaces that cleverly create shelter for a few private balconies. On the  south side of Duke, the upper floors carefully offer unobstructed views of the neighborhood as they rise in terraced steps.​​​​​​​ Finally, white stone carvings surrounding the building’s exterior pay tribute to Junction’s Victorian history in a modern way. Duke practices green principles and attracts residents who value sustainability. A beautiful green roof makes green living an easy part of life at 2803 Dundas West. Though future residents will enjoy the building’s state-of-the-art gym and party room,  Duke doesn’t have a long list of amenities. More amenities would be unnecessary, however, as residents live in  Junction, whose vibrant and engaged community  will offer them more than they could ask for.
