250 Lawrence by Graywood Developments in Toronto

From lush greenspaces and esteemed schools, to a premium selection of grocers, restaurants and boutique shops, the neighbourhood of Bedford Park is effortlessly one of midtown Toronto’s most appealing communities, and an idyllic setting for 250 Lawrence – a boutique nine-storey, midrise condominium by the award-winning team at Graywood Developments.

Nestled right along Lawrence Avenue West, east of Avenue Road, 250 Lawrence will feature a collection of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom suites, offering a contemporary spin on mid-century modern architecture and design. Connectivity is at the heart of 250 Lawrence, which will back onto the vibrant Douglas Greenbelt park – so much so, that 40 per cent of the land on the development site will be given over to public land use.

Lush green parkland and a rushing ravine will be steps away from the front door at 250 Lawrence, Graywood’s latest mid-rise development.

“250 Lawrence is really about breaking barriers, physically, and encouraging a flow of interconnectedness at the intersection of Lawrence and Avenue,” says Neil Pattison, Vice-President Development at Graywood Developments. “In consultation with the City of Toronto, we are naturalizing a portion of the Douglas Greenbelt and re-establishing a southern and eastern access to the ravine park. Residents at 250 Lawrence and fellow community members will soon be able to utilize this considerable natural public greenspace, increasing the appeal and vibrancy of this upscale corridor of midtown Toronto.”

Designed by leading Toronto firm Quadrangle Architects, 250 Lawrence is a sleek, contemporary building with strong, bold geometric design, stunning balconies, and expansive terrace space.

“This community sprouted at the same time as the mid-century modern style of design – the soul of this corridor along Lawrence Avenue arose in the middle of the 20th century and we feel 250 Lawrence allows residents to truly feel the physical and historical nature of the community,” says Quadrangle’s Founding Principal Les Klein. “The very strong horizontal lines that we have used define the urban edge of the building along Lawrence Avenue, and the drop-off is accentuated with a gorgeous bronze-coloured metal canopy featuring linear lighting.”

Complete with a dog-friendly spa, nearly 200 spaces for bicycles, a dramatic porte-cochère entryway, on top of 9,200 sq. ft. of outdoor space, the design of 250 Lawrence embodies the merging of city living with a connection to greenspace and nature. Just under 400 sq. metres of vibrant parkland will run along the east side of the property, from south of Glengarry Ave. all the way to Lawrence, enhancing the surrounding public realm. Beyond their immediate surroundings, residents at 250 Lawrence will live moments away from several expansive greenspaces, including the scenic Chatsworth Ravine and Blythwood Ravine Park, providing a refreshing getaway from Toronto’s urban environment.

The stunning interiors of 250 Lawrence are the work of esteemed interior design firm The Patton Design Studio. Inspired by “living beautifully,” sophisticated materials such as stone, polished and matte porcelain, glazed ceramics, and wood are brought to life with a variety of carefully planned lighting, textures, and eco-friendly, durable finishes. Warm, inviting colour palettes flow beautifully throughout both the classic and premium suites, and are paired with elegant and timeless finishes with an emphasis on calming neutrals.

“There is a certain ‘tradition and grace’ to Bedford Park, yet also it’s a friendly, modern neighbourhood,” says The Patton Design Studio Principal and Interior Designer Bryon Patton. “The overall look of 250 Lawrence is clean with a reference to the past, which is great for the more mature purchaser and while still maintaining a minimalist, in-trend appeal for a younger market.”

Embedded in a prime residential area just nine kilometres away from Toronto’s downtown core, 250 Lawrence remains conveniently connected to the GTA. “250 Lawrence is the latest in a series of neighbourhood-driven mid-rise developments by Graywood. Following the success of Wonder and Scout Condos in Toronto, we’ve seen first-hand the growing demand for this product type,” says President and CEO of Graywood Developments Stephen Price. ”Similar to its predecessors, 250 Lawrence is all about connectivity and ensuring the building is inspired by and mindful of its surroundings.”

250 Lawrence is a brief bus ride away from Lawrence West Station, providing direct access to the TTC’s Line 1. By car, residents can reach all major highways with ease, as the Allen Road Expressway onto Highway 401 is only two kilometres away. Meanwhile, Toronto Pearson International Airport is a short 20-minute drive.
