Amid all the condo towers popping up all over Yorkville over the past couple of years, developer Ken Zuckerman decided it was time for an elegant mid-rise to come out of the fray, but still not too far from the action. "It's 100 yards away from Yorkville," Zuckerman says, "but it could be 10 miles."
The site of
Hazelton36 is the old St. Basil's Separate School at 34-38 Hazelton Avenue, less than a block north of Yorkville Avenue. Built in the 1920s, the building's fa�ade will remain, incorporated into the new 6-storey structure, according to Zuckerman, known around town for the well-received residential development at
113 Dupont.
Though the project was just announced and Zuckerman, who owns Zinc Construction, winner of an Ontario Association of Architects award for a home on Bishop Street in Yorkville, has not yet announced the architect, designers or unit prices, he will say that the suites will have 11- and 12-foot ceilings and will range from 1,700 to 6,000 square feet.
"They'll be condominiums of some scale," Zuckerman says, "but the building will be neatly camouflaged with terrace setbacks, so you won't really be able to see the building from the street when you're on it. We'll retain that residential feel."
