The Building!
The High Park Lofts building is truly distinctive and is known as Toronto's first geothermal building.
Constructed in a grand 'town hall style' , it features a tower with 3 backlit, antique-style clocks and a spectacular climate controlled atrium garden providing a 'cathedral like' ambiance with its 60 foot ceilings , gracefully arched beams and incorporating the gothic stained glass windows of the original St. Jude's Parish Hall.
After being greeted at the grand arch entry by the concierge, residents and visitors enter a lushly landscaped gardens and marble foyer. It retains a unique European flair with the inner balconies.
Another environmental aspect is the rooftop design and planters. Such 'green roofs' contribute significantly to the quality of the atmosphere as well as modifying urban heat waves.
Included in maintenance fee is the centrally supplied ground source heat and air conditioning with in suite unit control.
High Park Lofts features energy-efficient (and environmentally-friendly) geothermal and solar powered systems to help keep costs down and provide for a more "Green" environment.
Safe & secure building with 24 hour concierge, party/meeting room on 7th floor, recreation room, rooftop deck & garden, visitor parking, security system, barbeques allowed.
