You’ve never met a condominium worth living in until you have checked out The Met. The Met is in the Church St Corridor neighborhood at 21 Carlton St, and it truly is a vision in glass. Rising 43 storeys into the sky, The Met was finished in 2008, having been developed by Edilcan Development, and the building plans drafted up by Page + Steele Architects. Interior design was handled by Chapman Design Group, and the building is currently managed by Del Property Management. The Met has 398 units (of the units in the building, the smallest being 370 feet² and the largest of them being 1846 feet²). The Met offers to its investors and buyers alike bachelors, 1 bedrooms, 2-bedrooms & 3 bedrooms condo units for a great variety of layouts, and inside the units themselves, they will find such features as hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, a wrap-around balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as stone closets and large closets. The historical average PSF for The Met has been on the rise, and so, real estate investors looking for the potential of a positive return on investment need not look any further than The Met. As for what is actually onsite for amenities in The Met, residents of The Met should know that there is a 6-storey podium encircling the bottom of the structure, and that there are townhouses in the podium. However, below that, a bank and an espresso café can both be found, as well as an abundance of amenities like rooftop deck with BBQ station, yoga studio, indoor pool, fitness facilities, library, party room, concierge, security guard, parking garage, media room and guest suites.Stepping outside into the exterior of 21 Carlton St, the first thing buyers might notice is a charming variety of fast food places, cafes, bars, and little shops lining the street in both directions (west and east on Carlton St.). By walking a very small distance west, to Yonge St., homebuyers can find the College subway station, multiple TTC transit bus stops, and even stops for the TTC streetcar service. Using a combination of all three over the course of time is the best way to experience a very large swath of downtown Toronto and uptown Toronto both. Also, for motorists who are in need of a highway to access, a quick drive over to Yonge St., then a drive south Yonge St. all the way to the lakeshore will provide access to the Gardiner Expressway. Alternately, to access the Don Valley Parkway, motorists can drive north on Yonge St. to Bloor St. E, and go east on Bloor St. until they reach Bayview Ave. Heading slightly north on Bayview Ave. will result in an on-ramp to the Don Valley Parkway motorists can utilize.Another side benefit buyers of The Met can make use of is a charming little greenspace just south of the condominium building itself called McGill Parkette. It may not completely detach a person from the sounds of downtown Toronto, but it is a little slice of urban paradise among a concrete jungle for those who just need a little break in nature. For a larger greenspace with a perfect view of Lake Ontario (only broken by the Toronto Islands on the horizon), a bus ride or drive down Yonge St. to the lakeshore (past the Gardiner Expressway on-ramp) leads buyers to Harbour Square Park, also home to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, which takes people to the Toronto Islands and back.
