King and Shaw Revitalization

DNA3 Condos, which is one of our favourite sites in the King West neighbourhood is set to completely revitalize the corner of King and Shaw. Located on the North/West corner, this two tower condo development is set to alter the King and Shaw corner.  With strong anchor tenants anticipated to occupy the commercial component of the condo on King Street, there is no doubt that the presence of strong retailers will bring much needed support for the abundance of residential units.

Different Construction View of DNA3 Condos

As you know, we have been actively monitoring and visiting the DNA3 Condos site located at King and Shaw. As of now, we have been taking pictures from Shaw Street, which will be the East side of the building in which the first tower will front on.

Today, we took a stroll along King Street which will be the Southern exposure for both Towers, referred to as Tower A which is to the East and Tower B which is to the West. Have a look at the photos below demonstrating the construction site from King Street. Keep checking in with us for more DNA3 Condos photos and updates to come!

DNA3 Condos Construction Update: End of September 2012

A visit to the DNA3 Condos site showed that construction is moving on very quickly. With an occupancy expected in 2013, there is no question in our minds that residents will be enjoying their new homes sooner then later. If you get a chance, try and stop by the site to check out the construction hole for yourselves. We promise you that you have never seen a hole quite as big! It has to be big to accommodate the two fourteen storey towers that will be built. Keep checking in with us for DNA3 Condos updates. There are a lot more to come!

East Views from DNA3 Condos

DNA3 Condos which is under construction is set to be the most desirable condo in the King West neighbourhood. With strict zoning laws in this neighbourhood, it's hard to get away with building high rises that can guarantee unobstructed views. The unique aspect about DNA3 Condos is that there will be units with unobstructed views starting from the 8th floor and up. For example, on the west side of the condo development there are the Sudbury townhomes which are only 3 storeys guaranteeing lake views. Tower A which will built on the east side of the development will have stunning views of the City of Toronto on the upper floors. As mentioned before, it's very rare to have such stunning views from a 14 storey tower. It's pretty much guaranteed that the views from these units will command high resale values once DNA3 Condos is complete.

DNA3 Construction Update: September 2012

 The cranes at DNA3 Condos are working double time! The cranes can even be spotted from the Gardiner Expressway when travelling by car. This alone demonstrates the prime location of DNA3

Condos as it is not only situated in King West but also steps from the highway.

A visit to the DNA3 site this week showed that construction is not slowing down even though we are approaching the end of 2012. With an occupancy originally anticipated for March 2013, it looks like they will be closer to occupying at the end of 2013, which is still considered quick for a pre construction project. Keep checking in with us for DNA3 Condos updates as well as information on colour selection.

DNA1 and DNA2 Condos

 DNA1 and DNA2 Condos are essentially the "go to" condos in the King West neighbourhood. Located on the South/East corner of King and Shaw, these two condos command some of the highest resale values in the area, with units for sale lasting only the market for a few days. DNA3 Condos will be the third and final phase of the DNA Condo series which will be built on the North/West corner of King and Shaw. This condo is anticipated to be the creme de la creme of the DNA Condos considering not only the finishes, but the outstanding amenities that will incorporated into this two tower development.

DNA3 Condos Construction Update: August 27, 2012

DNA3 Condos, which will be located at the corner of King and Shaw is well underway construction wise as per the updated construction photos below. A visit to the site last week showed the addition of a second crane on site which will ultimately speed up the already quick construction progress. With excavation complete, it won't be long before we start to see visual progress of what will be the underground garage. A refreshing aspect of DNA3 Condos is that there will be only one level of underground parking which will accommodate Tower A and Tower B. With the underground garage entrance to be located off Shank Street, it will be refreshing for residents not to have to battle 4 or 5 levels of parking to get to their space. Keep checking in with us as we will be continually updating construction progress for DNA3 Condos in King West.

Retail at DNA3 Condos

It's official that DNA3 Condos is now well under construction. With close to 600 residential units spread between two 14 storey towers, the question now is which retail tenants will occupy the commercial space located on King Street?

It's no surprise that the King and Shaw corner is in need of some strong retailers to balance out the residential component of the neighbourhood. With the Starbucks located on the South East corner of King and Shaw and the closest grocery store being the Metro in Liberty Village, there has been a lot of speculation as to what retailers in this King West condo development would be a beneficial addition to the neighbourhood.  However, both residents of the King West neighbourhood as well as the new residents of DNA3 Condos will have to wait to see what the developer has in "store!"

Rain Room?

Today's weather reminded us over at The Condo Chick's Office of the "rain room" that is being put in DNA3 Condos. This feature that will be located on the amenities floor of DNA3 Condos will be the first of it's kind in the City. With pools adding to the cost of maintenance fees in condos, the rain room at DNA3 Condos will be a perfect substitute for a pool along with the misting station located on the second floor terrace of the condo development.

The rain room at DNA3 Condos will be a co-ed feature in which water from rain heads will essentially create an extra large shower which be ideal for cooling off after a workout in the fitness centre. Instead of jumping into a pool, step into the rain room to cool off and socialize!

With construction well underway, it looks as though purchasers of DNA3 Condos will be settled in their new nests sooner then later.  Enjoy the photos below of the DNA3 Construction update and keep checking in for regular photo updates.

Mist Yourself at DNA3 Condos!

Construction is well underway at the DNA3 condos site located in the heart of King West. With the heat wave this coming weekend, the water features that will accompany the amenities at DNA3 Condos are in our thoughts.

Many builders are shying away from pools due to the affect they can potentially have on maintenance fees. However, in the case of DNA3 Condos, the builder is still implementing certain water features in the amenity space to add diversity. Not only will there be a rain room located in the fitness area, but there will be a misting station on the second floor roof top terrace. This will be one of the first of it's kind to the hit the amenity circuit amoungst Toronto condos. For example if residents are taking in the sun on the terrace on a day like today, they can refresh themselves under this misting staion. Not only will this allow residents to enjoy the sun for longer, but it adds a trendy element to the amenity space which naturally attracts the demographic found in the King West area.

So until DNA3 Condos is complete which is anticipated late next year, King West residents will have to wait to "mist" themselves!
