Kingdom Canada introduces Lawrence Hill, luxury urban towns of superior design

Reach higher. Be better. Think deeper. Build a better world. These are the four pillars of Kingdom Canada, the foundation that has helped the company establish a reputation as one of the top builders in the Canadian real estate development industry, and the same pillars driving the design and development of its latest community, Lawrence Hill.

With 222 luxury urban towns nestled in a lushly landscaped enclave, close to Edwards Gardens, the Shops at Don Mills, and the Crosstown LRT, Lawrence Hill is a new jewel in the centre of the GTA. But there’s more to this exciting project than just a sophisticated exterior – Lawrence Hill is one of the first concrete-built townhome communities in the city, an insightful choice from Kingdom and a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to the comfort, safety and satisfaction of their homeowners.

STRUCTURALLY SUPERIOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

While typical condo towns are stick-built – meaning they use a wooden frame constructed piece by piece (or stick by stick) – the luxury towns at Lawrence Hill use a solid reinforced concrete structure, offering superior comfort and quality. The benefits to residents are numerous:

Cleaner indoor air

Since concrete structures limit the infiltration of allergens and any crossover circulation between units, residents at Lawrence Hill will breathe easy in homes with superior indoor air quality. Concrete is also mold-, moisture- and mildew-resistant, eliminating odours and other smells from the building.

Twice the soundproofing

Where the typical wood structure home has an average sound transmission class (STC) of approximately 27, concrete provides an STC of 60, so homeowners will enjoy peace and quiet with more than two times the soundproofing of wood-frame construction.

Zero vibrations

The concrete floor structure at Lawrence Hill eliminates any unwanted vibrations. Whether there’s a truck rumbling by, or play time is getting rowdy at the neighbour’s, you’ll feel calm and comfortable.

A safer home

As one of the most fire-resistant materials, concrete provides an additional level of protection, reducing fire-related damage to the building by up to seven times compared to wooden structures. It’s additional peace of mind, keeping you and your loved ones safe.

Lower insurance premiums

With increased protection from fire, severe weather and other undesirable events, insurance premiums on concrete homes are generally lower than stick-built structures.

Better value

Concrete construction generally results in lower maintenance costs and higher long-term value, meaning that an investment in Lawrence Hill today will provide strong returns for years to come.

SURROUNDED BY SOPHISTICATION

With function fully optimized by the superior concrete foundation, form steps up to steal the show. Lawrence Hill cuts a striking figure with a contemporary exterior that combines architecturally-superior dark brick veneer and durable wood-look aluminum siding in beautiful contrast. The design, by Toronto-based TAES Architects Inc., is an example of the studio’s international aesthetic (the team has studied and worked on four continents, from Australia to Asia, North America to Europe), combining a minimal northern European sensibility with an emphasis on the outdoors found in an intimate community, and a hint of sleek NYC style.

Expansive windows and glazed balcony railings offer clear sightlines onto exquisite landscape design. Green lawns, colourful plants and tree canopies surround the community and create a setting where friends can picnic, children can play and families can create lasting memories outdoors. Whether walking through the courtyard, perched on a private urban patio, sitting on a balcony or lounging on an all-season rooftop terrace, residents at Lawrence Hill are connected to nature and a healthier way to live.

Residents will have their pick of outdoor living spaces: Private garden patios, wraparound balconies or enormous rooftop terraces with built-in gas barbecues, water and electrical connections, and sweeping treetop views, offering an urban backyard and a private sanctuary from city life.

The interiors by Tomas Pearce are just as breathtaking. Discover spacious, light-filled, two and three-bedroom plans with elegant features, bespoke finishes, and sophisticated details such as nine-ft. ceilings, wide plank flooring, spa-inspired bathrooms, and gourmet kitchens complete with quartz countertops and integrated appliances.

SO MUCH TO LOVE

Beyond the contemporary architecture and sophisticated interiors, there’s even more to love at Lawrence Hill. Residents will have access to an upscale amenity space that transforms from a sleek dining room and lounge, to a flexible work/study space for today’s modern lifestyle,

They will enjoy the sound of laughter and the warmth of sunlight in an adjacent parkette that Kingdom Canada is integrating into the site to encourage a deeper connection to the outdoors. And of course, they’ll reap the remarkable benefits of a prime location in the centre of the GTA.

Just minutes from Hwy. 401 and the DVP; the “Lawrence 54” and “Victoria Park 24” buses, offering easy connections to the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth subway lines; and the Eglinton LRT, with two stations planned just south of Lawrence Hill; this is truly a community with transit at its heart.

Close to shopping, dining, arts, culture, education, parks and community services, Lawrence Hill offers everything that makes urban living so attractive, but tucked away, in a peaceful enclave, surrounded by nature.

Walk to The Shops at Don Mills for an afternoon strolling through the open-air mall, or head to Bayview Village, Fairview Mall, Eglinton Square or Yorkdale, all just a short drive from home. Spend an afternoon soaking up science and culture at the Ontario Science Centre or the Aga Khan Museum. Stop and smell the roses at Edwards Gardens, or explore the trails of the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area, ET Seton Park, Sunnybrook Park and Moccasin Trail Park.

From top to bottom, inside and out, every luxurious detail at Lawrence Hill is a testament to Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to strong community, superior construction and exceptional design. One look is all it takes to fall in love.
