Condo of the Week: $2.2 million for a Corktown penthouse with a giant rooftop terrace

Address: 32 Trolley Crescent, Penthouse 8 Neighbourhood: Corktown Agent: Cameron William Thornton, Bosley Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage Price: $2,195,000 Previously sold for: $1,079,735, pre-construction

The place

A custom two-bedroom penthouse atop River City II, an Urban Capital condo tower in Corktown, near the Don River.

The history

The owner put a pre-construction deposit on the unit in 2012. He worked with the developer to draft a new floor plan, which removed one of three bedrooms to create an open living and dining area. After he moved in, he added a home automation system and a bar on the terrace.

Here’s the entry:

There’s a small den on the upper level:

Big selling point

With much of the surrounding area already developed, the views from the 900-square-foot rooftop terrace are unlikely to be blocked out by new towers nearby:

Possible deal breaker

The condo is in an up-and-coming area, with new amenities like Underpass Park nearby. But the neighbourhood lacks the coolness factor of some of downtown’s more established condo zones.
