A newly-released rendering provides a view of Opearl Developments' Sail Condos from the northeast, placing the building into its context with the glimmering Downtown Toronto skyline on the horizon. The 18-storey Keith Loffler McAlpine Architects-designed condominium tower is located on Sheppard Avenue East, steps east of Victoria Park Avenue and the North York limits in Scarborough. While the development's curving, nautically-inspired southfacade is its most notable design gesture, and the signature element featured in the first rendering of the project, the new rendering focuses in on the Sheppard Avenue frontage.

Sail's ground level offers an improved pedestrian realm featuring widened sidewalks along Sheppard, partially sheltered by an overhanging canopy. The rendering also depicts new planting beds and bicycle parking. The four floors above are designed to resemble the bridge of an ocean liner with a generous terrace on the second level and balconies extending off the side above.

The tower's north side steps back above the fifth level, rising uninterrupted vertically until the uppermost residential level, before stepping back again for the mechanical penthouse level. The mechanical equipment will be mostly open to the elements, screened by a series of horizontal slats.

Sail's 180 suites range from 353 square feet all the way up to 1,412 square feet. Residents at Sail will enjoy a selection of amenity spaces appointed by Gordana Car Design, including a multi-purpose party room, a landscaped outdoor courtyard, and a fitness centre with cardio, aerobics and weights equipment.
