Encompassed by the Grange Park neighbourhood, One Park Lane I condominium (280 Simcoe Street) is the first of a three condo towers community. The three towers are connected by a gorgeous glass-enclosed, modern lobby, with an attractive exterior façade of dark glass and smooth concrete and welcoming, landscaped front courtyard complete with fish pond.One park Lane I was completed in 1981 through the efforts and talents of Camrost-Felcorp (developer), Thomas P. Kalman (architect) and Starr and Shipman Group (landscape architect). This condominium stands 16-storeys tall and possesses 130 dimensionally generous condo units. The condo units vary in style and sizes, beginning with 1 bedroom (1033 square feet) and scale up to 2 bedrooms + den (1519 square feet). Homebuyers and realty investors can rely on the established value of these units for not only their appealing larger sizes, but for added value of in-unit features like larger living areas, spacious bedrooms, additional storage spaces, laminate & hardwood flooring, upgraded baths, full eat-in kitchens and large windows.The in-building amenities are always a great surprise to homebuyers for their competitiveness against more modern condominiums (squash & racquet court, indoor pool, landscaped rooftop patio with furnished solarium, billiards room, gym, sauna, parking garage and security guard services). The well established historical average PSF has shown through the years, there is greater potential for a positive return on investment. Crossbridge Condominium Services is onsite to oversee the daily operations of this condo building and to attend to residents needs.One Park Lane I (280 Simcoe Street) sits tidily inside the borders of Simcoe Street, Dundas Street, St. Patrick Street and Elm Street. One Park Lane I has the feeling of being a bit removed from the hustle of busy downtown Toronto, but is still super-close to urbanite-walkable amenities that homebuyers find appealing.TTC public transit is less than a 5-minute walk away from this condominium (St. Patrick subway station sits right at the corner of Dundas Street & university Avenue), with streetcar & bus stops on both Dundas & University for additional travel options north & south and east & west. Buyers can head south on University Avenue to Front Street to access Union Station (GO Transit services as well as TTC and VIA Rail). Motorists can use Bloor Street East to pick up the northbound on-ramp to the Don Valley Pkwy or head south on Spadina Avenue to access the on-ramps for the Gardiner Expressway.Just mere steps from One Park Lane I condo are amenities like cafes, restaurants, Hasty Market, banks, pharmacy, convenience store, dental clinic, business services & professional offices and bars. A short walk south on nearby McCaul Street to Grange Road unfolds the Grange Park which is perfect for picnics, walks, jogging and cycling long its many paths.If buyers head east along Dundas Street to Yonge Street, a whole smorgasbord of amenities opens-up (the Toronto Eaton Centre, LCBO, specialty shops, restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies and even the Dundas subway station for even more convenience). The Yonge-Dundas Square is also at this intersection, which is highly enjoyable for outdoor entertainment!
