The place

A suite in The Bond, on Adelaide Street West, between University and Spadina. It’s close to TIFF Bell Lightbox, nightclubs and the financial district.

The history

The Bond was finished in 2017. This suite was originally used as a landing strip for one of the partners of Lifetime Developments (the developer who built the building) but he’s now selling it. The interior was designed by Iain Stewart.

The kitchen has towering walls of tile:

• $1,595,000
• 1,145 square feet of outdoor space
