With the start of construction approaching, the 37-storey Stanley Condominiums is set to re-shape the corner of Church and Carlton with high-rise density. Located just east of Toronto's storied Maple Leaf Gardens, the Tribute Communities development adds 490 units to the increasingly dense Church Street corridor. Ahead of this year's construction launch, renderings old and new provide a close look at some of the project's design details, with a particular focus on the indoor and outdoor amenities.

Designed by Core Architects, the condo's distinctively shaped tower rises from a glassy podium. Animating the streetscape with ample retail space, the scale of the rectilinear podium also reflects the project's immediate urban context, referencing the height of Maple Leaf Gardens to its west.

Above, the tower itself is characterized by gently extruded volumes. Maximizing views and natural light, the sculptural tower features suites ranging in size from 369 ft² to 1,070 ft², including a selection of three-bedroom units. The project's interiors are appointed by Bryon Patton and Associates, while landscape design at street level and on the podium roof terrace is by Ferris + Associates Inc.

Residents of The Stanley will have access to 16,000 ft² of amenity space, much of which is concentrated atop the podium. Featuring a sun deck, a lounge, an al fresco dining space, and a zen garden with an outdoor fireplace, the podium's 8,000 ft² rooftop terrace is poised to become a warm-weather entertainment hub for The Stanley's residents and guests.

The showpiece terrace wraps around a collection of indoor amenities, with a light-filled party room looking out onto the 8,000 ft² space. In warm weather, the party lounge effectively slides into the terrace, creating a larger space. In colder months, the indoor space provides a stand-alone amenity, allowing for year-round entertainment.

Inside, amenities also include a fully equipped gym, complete with change rooms and a yoga space. Meanwhile, the area's student appeal is also reflected in the amenity offerings. Set aside from the fitness and entertainment areas, a study hall provides residents a library-inspired workspace that's well suited for group assignments and collaborative projects.
