28 Eastern Condos Summary
Corktown is one of Toronto’s oldest and most historic neighbourhoods, and it has recently staged a dramatic resurgence. Gone are the days when it was little more than an aging and overlooked corner of Toronto’s east side. Nowadays, Corktown is one of the city’s hottest destinations and developers are working hard to meet soaring demand for residential real estate in the area. To that end, Alterra is moving ahead with the 28 Eastern Condos, a stylish new 12-storey building destined for a home on Eastern Avenue between Parliament Street and Cherry Street.
Location and Neighborhood
Corktown is currently one of Toronto’s hottest areas. Branded by media outlets as the city’s new “It” neighbourhood, Corktown has enjoyed an explosion of popularity as savvy, trendy urbanites began looking east for alternatives to the hustle and bustle of downtown.
Historically, Corktown functioned as an industrial and commercial area filled with factories and warehouses. While the vestiges of its past remain highly visible, many of the neighbourhood’s spaces are being invigorated and creatively reimaged to serve mixed-use functions. The results have yielded one of the city’s most interesting and dynamic areas, and Corktown is only beginning to scratch the surface of its potential.
Getting around Toronto from these 18 Eastern Avenue condos will be easy, thanks to:
- 24-hour streetcar service on Queen Street, which is about one-quarter of a kilometre to the north
- Excellent local TTC bus connections
- Exciting plans for expanded rapid transit serving East Toronto
- An increasingly walkable profile supported by a fast-growing collection of restaurants, stores, services, and neighbourhood hangouts
- Easy entry to the Don Valley Parkway and Gardiner Expressway, both of which are less than one kilometre away
28 Eastern Condos is also a short stroll from Corktown Common, a beautiful park with an off-leash area for dogs and a scenic view of the Don River.
