Scarborough city urbanites LOVE living at The Birches condominium for its excellent location and closeness to amenities, parks, public & motorists transportation options and cozy ‘Dorset Park’ neighbourly atmosphere!The Birches condo (101 Prudential Drive) completed construction back in 1975 by Arsandco Investments Ltd. and was originally a residential apartment building but has since undergone many interior renovations and in-unit upgrades. This apartment-turned-condominium stands 16 storeys tall and encompasses 224 well-appointed units in total. The architecture of the original building remains, with smooth, flat-facing sections and protruding balcony sections.
