Within the Annex / U of T neighbourhood, there is one condominium building that seems to stand out from the other residential buildings…190 St. George Condo, and for good reason. There is quite the backstory on the developer of this building that dates to 1962 when he founded his construction company.Mr. Tadeusz (Ted) Lempicki (developer) decided in 1967 that he wanted to build 2 highrise condominium buildings (still a new concept at the time) and to ‘grease’ the city-approval wheels, he agreed to also cover the expenses of donating a large swath of land to be made into a park. This did not happen, Ted Lempicki hired Joseph A. Medweki (architect) and together they created & built the 12-storey, 70-unit condo building that is seen today. After its completion in 1971, Ted Lempicki left Toronto.The exterior of this condo building is unique, with its modernist bold white slab edges that stands out against the simple, transparent glass windows, and offering a wide V shape feature down the middle of the building.The condo units offered at 190 St. George Condo are 1 bedroom (700 square feet) and 2 bedrooms (1100 square feet), with in-unit features like spacious wrap around balconies, floor to ceiling windows, modern appliances and updated kitchen & baths. The dimensionally generous square footage is largely due to the age of this building and is just one of the many perks for homebuyers that wish to invest at 190 St. George Condo.The in-building amenities for residents’ use include an exercise room, parking garage with guest parking spaces and an enter phone system. The historical average PSF also tells a story from the years gone past…the location and the sizeable units present the potential for a positive return on investment!
