We last checked in on Tridel's One and Two Old Mill a couple weeks ago, when we recapped the progress taking place on the exterior of the two Kirkor Architects-designed buildings. Residents have already poured into One Old Mill, and before that process is replicated at Two Old Mill, UrbanToronto toured the interiors of the nearly complete building to see what homeowners can expect.
At 10 storeys, Two Old Mill is slightly shorter than its 12-storey sister building, but it still offers some stunning panoramic views over the local treed neighbourhoods, and especially of the nearby Humber Valley. These views can be taken in at the spacious rooftop terrace or 'Sky Lounge' which, courtesy of recent warmth, is now being partially filled with soil along its edges to accommodate lush greenery.
Exterior landscaping by Janet Rosenberg & Studio will soon be accompanied by several seating areas once construction materials are cleared. Targeting LEED certification, Two Old Mill includes solar thermal panels on its rooftop and uses captured rainwater to irrigate the vegetation on premises.
The emerging skyline of Humber Bay Shores comes into view as we look south, above, a reminder that Lake Ontario is a short five minute drive away. Jade Waterfront, visible near the centre of the frame, is quickly heading to its 38-storey final height. The other crane popping up in the sky at the right belongs to Key West, which has just about topped out at 44 storeys.
The southwest view above depicts the distant Mississauga skyline and the cluster of Tridel buildings huddled near Kipling subway station. Bags of soil await their placement within the perimeter of the terrace.
Looking directly west, Old Mill subway station (with its green roof) comes into view. While Jane station is located just steps to the east, Two Old Mill is not too far from this next station on the Bloor Danforth subway line and the parks and trails of the Humber Valley. Also clustered around Old Mill station are more residential towers including the recently completed Riverhouse at The Old Mill (seen to the right) which rises above the famous Old Mill Inn restaurant and wedding complex.
Panning over to the north, the terrace upper floors of One Old Mill become visible. The building partially blocks the sprawling Toronto skyline, though as evidenced below, the central core is still in full view to the east.
Penthouses within Two Old Mill are now undergoing drywall installation. Each with a ceiling height of ten feet, available penthouses range in size from 1,045 to 1,935 square feet. Starting at $865,000, the largest penthouse is selling for $1,740,000.
Two Old Mill's Diamond Collection offers suites from 939 to 1,036 square feet. Mostly located in the building's middle floors, these suites are at a more advanced stage of completion, with premium plank engineered wood flooring soon to replace the currently exposed concrete.
Moving down another few flights of stairs, units are just about complete, with only cosmetic touch-ups remaining. Residents throughout the building have their choice between granite or quartz countertops. With nine-foot ceilings, there's plenty of light to take in and fill the space. Homeowners also have the option of enjoying the outdoors via their balcony or terrace.
Unlike One Old Mill's retail spaces, the ground floor of Two Old Mill is identified by the verandas of units fronting onto Bloor Street. Landscaping and stonework is finishing up around these areas which will soon act as the front porch of many homeowners. Yet to be unveiled, a public art installation will be installed just outside the Bloor frontage of the building.
Back inside, we take a look at the common areas which have been designed by UNION31. The lobby and front desk are depicted in the images below.
Amenity spaces are found on the ground floor—which technically spans two floors as the building slopes downwards. A sizable party room and lounge is available for rent and has already become a star attraction among staff.
The fitness room has been decked out with eco-friendly equipment which helps power the machines as you exercise. The room faces the rear entrance and designated pickup/drop-off area of the building.
A pool, whirlpool, steam rooms, yoga room and two guest suites round out the host of amenities provided.
Remaining suites start at $455,000 for 778 square feet. First move-ins began on Monday, to be followed gradually floor by floor until expected full occupancy in July.
