Toronto Area: The Met by Plaza and Berkley
February 13, 2016
It would be a vast understatement to say that the launch of The Met, a sleek 35-storey condominium by Plaza and Berkley Developments in the heart of the burgeoning Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, was hotly anticipated.
The project, located at Highway 7 and Jane Street, saw 300 of its 511 units snapped up in the first week of sales, putting it well on the path toward a sellout. “I believe this will ultimately be regarded as one of the most successful condo developments in Vaughan’s history,” says Plaza Senior Vice President Scott McLellan. “It’s easy to see why: it’s got a prime location in Vaughan’s emerging city centre, with two stops on the TTC subway extension providing direct connections to York University and downtown Toronto.”
Residences at The Met range from 510-sq.-ft. one-bedroom units to 875-sq.-ft. two-bedroom plus den suites. There’ll also be 62 townhomes — from 1,250 to 1,490 sq. ft. — with private rooftop terraces and convenient underground parking, ideal for the empty nester couple looking to sell their large home and move into a worry free lifestyle.
Finishes and features considered upgrades elsewhere come standard at The Met. Buyers can expect luxurious touches in each suite: kitchens equipped with quartz countertops and undermount sink, Moen faucets and six premium stainless steel appliances; and bathrooms boasting ceramic or porcelain tile, deep soaker tubs and glass-walled showers. Most units will have balconies.
The Met offers an array of amenities too. Residents looking to tone up can head to the fitness centre, followed by a relaxing trip to the whirlpool and spa. Hosting friends? The Met is well equipped to assist, with a party room, dining room and catering kitchen. Or invite your crew to chill in the building’s outdoor lounge, complete with barbecues. And a 24-hour concierge means security and convenience are assured.
Designed by Quadrangle Architects, The Met enjoys a prime location at the crux of Vaughan’s new city centre, where 12,000 residents are expected to move in coming years. They’ll work in new office buildings there and sample from a growing roster of retailers. Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is already home to Vaughan Mills, Canada’s largest shopping centre. Those looking to get back to nature can find sanctuary at Kortright Centre for Conservation, one of several nearby green retreats.
Quality and craftsmanship are guaranteed at The Met, given its creation is being led by Plaza, Toronto’s leading condo development firm, with more than 7,000 suites completed or under construction in the city’s most desirable locations. The company’s slate of high-profile projects includes 50 at Wellesley Station, Exhibit, 1 Yorkville, Musée, Ivory on Adelaide and York Harbour Club.
Joining forces with Plaza on The Met is Berkley Developments, among the GTA’s finest luxury builders, with a stable of award winning communities such as Massey Square, West Harbour City, University Plaza and Bayview Court.
“With a team like this, you know you can count on exceptional levels of quality and professionalism at The Met,” says McLellan. “And whether it’s the building’s top-notch features and finishes, or the fact that the development’s in the thick of the GTA’s hottest new city centre, buyers can be assured their suites will have greater market value today, and lasting value for tomorrow.”
