EXPERIENCE THE RENAISSANCE OF RICHMOND HILL

Tridel’s Boutique Condominium Honours the History of Richmond Hill While Offering the Latest in Healthy Living and Energy Savings

Richmond Hill, Ontario... The Town of Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing community in the Greater Toronto Area with roots reaching back as far as the late 1700’s. Tridel, Canada’s leading developer of condominium communities, is both contributing to the area’s future, and honouring its longstanding history with its newest boutique condominium called Renaissance of Richmond Hill condos. Renaissance of Richmond Hill condos will also feature Tridel’s “Naturally Better” program, allowing residents to directly benefit from a healthier living environment and reduced maintenance costs.

Located on Yonge Street, just north of Major Mackenzie Drive, Renaissance has been designed to blend seemlessly with the historic neighbourhood that surrounds it. Featuring an exterior design with traditional styling and materials, the seven-storey, terraced residence respects the heritage streetscape, allowing sunlight to flood the streets and pour over the beautiful old buildings. A European-styled arched entryway on Yonge Street leads residents and guests to a pristine, private courtyard, and onward to the grand entrance.

Inside, the charming two-storey lobby reflects the character of the surrounding area and captures the tastes and desires of the most sophisticated condominium purchaser. Upholstered fabric panels, rich wood trim and light wood paneling with dark borders adorn the walls, while imported Italian porcelain tile with an inset stone border graces the floor. A Château-style staircase sweeps along the lobby’s perimeter, drawing the eye up to the dramatic coffered ceiling with its intricate scalloped mouldings, and grand chandelier.

A Charming and Intimate Community

Renaissance of Richmond Hill condos is an intimate boutique condominium of just over 100 luxurious residences. More than 30 two-bedroom suite designs are available ranging in size from approximately 1,000 to over 2,800 square feet. Most suites feature a den or family room, as well as a balcony or oversized terrace. Priced from $720,000 to over $1 million, meticulous attention to detail has gone into each home, with formal foyers, nine-foot ceilings, well proportioned living and entertaining spaces, and large windows ensuring beautiful views and plenty of natural light.

Designer U- and L-shaped kitchens feature granite counters, quality, stainless steel appliances, extended height upper cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting, along with an adjacent breakfast area. And, no detail has been overlooked, with each suite giving homebuyers graceful sightlines from the kitchen through to the dining room. High quality flooring includes imported, Italian porcelain tile in kitchens and bathrooms, while four-inch plank laminate flooring is found in the principal living areas.

In the powder rooms, bathrooms and ensuite baths, lavish finishes and functional design prevail. Many feature deep oval soaker tubs, separate showers, and room for more cabinetry, as well as a beautiful feature mirror running the length of the vanity and lit by overhead sconces.

Every suite at Renaissance also comes with Tridel's Softwire technology, which allows homeowners to take advantage of tomorrow’s emerging communications, Internet and home entertainment technologies.

Renaissance Club

Warm and welcoming are the words to describe the unrivaled luxury and spaciousness that is the Renaissance Club. Here, residents have access to a fitness, recreation and social centre with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities that include separate men’s and women’s change rooms, complete with steam rooms. French doors open to a stunning party room with bordered parquet floors, and a dramatic barrel vaulted, intricately coffered ceiling. A classically styled bar is finished with dark wood paneling, granite counters and a mirrored wall with glass shelves, which is backlit to add to the ambience. A fully functional caterer’s kitchen is hidden behind the bar, and another set of French doors lead out to a large landscaped terrace. An impressive arched entry leads to the media lounge, which is well appointed with a widescreen plasma television, surround sound and comfortable sofas. In the fireside lounge a granite-faced fireplace is encased by dark wood and flanked by sconces, while six striking mirrors are inset above the mantle.

A Community For Tomorrow

Renaissance of Richmond Hill will not only be a sophisticated, luxury community, but also a community that responds to the realities of today’s environment: harmful greenhouse gases, waste, pollution and consistently increasing energy and operating costs. Tridel will implement its “Naturally Better” program at Renaissance, a program that will give residents a high performance, efficient home, where they will directly benefit from a healthier living environment and reduced maintenance costs.

Renaissance of Richmond Hill will come with numerous environmentally preferred features, including an efficient heat-recovery ventilator system in every suite that will provide cleaner, fresher air in a more cost effective manner, as well as energy saving compact fluorescent lighting, high efficiency ENERGY STAR®; appliances, water saving toilets, faucets and showers, low maintenance plank floors, landscaped rooftop terraces, recycling facilities and increased natural lighting to reduce electricity consumption and increase personal comfort. Residents will benefit from environmentally preferable corridor carpeting, wall coverings, adhesives, coatings and paints with low volatile organic compounds that help to minimize toxic odours, both in their suite and in the buildings common areas.

Renaissance of Richmond Hill has also been designed to outperform Canada’s Model National Energy Code by a significant margin, which will translate directly into cost savings. Each suite will be individually metered so that residents who use less energy in their suites will pay less in utility costs. And, wherever possible, Tridel has selected durable building materials that have the smallest environmental footprint, and are either capable of being reused, salvaged or have a high level of recycled content to minimize waste.

As part of the “Naturally Better” program Tridel has registered Renaissance to pursue LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by The Canada Green Building Council. LEED® defines green buildings by establishing a common standard of measurement, promoting integrated, whole building design practices and raising consumer awareness of green building benefits. It’s the most recognized certification system for green buildings in North America and Renaissance is the first condominium community in Ontario to be officially registered.

A Historic Town with Today’s Amenities

The history of the Town of Richmond Hill is closely linked with the development of Yonge Street, which was planned as a military road by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe in the late 1700’s. The village of Richmond Hill began to take shape in 1801 when Abner Miles, an innkeeper and merchant from York, settled at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, where he established an inn and store, which became the nucleus for future development. The town continued to grow and was officially incorporated as a village in 1872, and then as a town in 1957. While the burgeoning town has experienced rapid growth, the old village core and many of the surrounding hamlets have retained their historic identity, preserving Richmond Hill’s unique character.

Today, the Town of Richmond Hill offers its residents every modern amenity. The community is home to over 130 parks and natural areas, with numerous athletic fields, nature trails and playgrounds. In the summertime, residents frequently enjoy concerts at Mill Pond Park, and relaxing at Lake Wilcox. The area is also home to pristine golf courses such as Maple Downs Golf Course, Richmond Hill Golf & Country Club and Angus Glen in the neighbouring Town of Markham. There is no shortage of shopping with outdoor plazas and shopping centres to meet everyone’s tastes, including Hillcrest Mall and Richmond Hill Shopping Centre. And, for those residents wishing to travel further afield, the York Region Transit System provides a direct connection to the TTC and local Go Transit Stations, while highways 404 and 407 are also easily accessible.
