87 Peter: The Condo for the True Downtowner

87 Peter by Menkes is a condo for the true downtowner. What’s a “true downtowner?” It’s the kind of person who wants to be in the thick of it, they love the crowds, the hustle and bustle of city life. They want to wake up and walk to work, pick up a few groceries at lunch and drop them off at home before heading back to the office to finish the day. They want to walk to a theatre after dinner to catch the latest David Fincher film, then stop in at a bar afterward on their way home to meet up with a few friends for a drink. Basically, they want to be within walking distance of everything and want for nothing, and that’s what the residents at 87 Peter will have.

Before we dive into how central 87 Peter’s location is, let’s talk about the building. There is a wide array of suites at 87 Peter, ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, with sizes spanning from 465 to 826 square feet. A few of the notable interior features and finishes include 9’ ceilings, ceramic and porcelain tile, high quality laminate flooring, custom designed cabinetry, quartz countertops, and seven European-style appliances (including laundry machines).

Recently, for What Homebuyers Want Month, we discussed how younger generations will put much more weight on the sustainability features of a building. Menkes is one of those developers that has started incorporating “green living” features into their developments. The suites at 87 Peter will have double glazing on the windows, superior wall insulation, low flow toilets and sinks, Energy Star rated appliances, and materials like low VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and adhesives. Throughout the rest of the building, there will be other green features, like energy efficient lighting in the common areas, a convenient recycling facility, ample bike parking, and timed carbon monoxide monitoring in the parking garage to make for a more efficient use of the fans to distribute fresh air.

87 Peter will also offer a large selection of luxurious amenity spaces, including a party room with a bar, a billiards lounge, a fully equipped fitness facility, and a spacious terrace, perfect for alfresco dining. A couple amenities that you typically wouldn’t find in other downtown condos are the water spa, which features individual tubs, and a massage room. Residents will be able to book an appointment for a private massage and then relax their muscles in the water spa.

87 Peter in the heart of it all

Located at Peter and Adelaide right downtown, absolutely nothing is out of reach. The TIFF Bell Lightbox and Scotiabank Theatre are two nearby venues to catch the latest Marvel movies, and if live theatre is more your thing, the Princess of Wales Theatre, Royal Alexandra, and Four Seasons Centre are within walking distance. Maybe you’re more of a sports fan - don’t worry, Rogers Centre and the Air Canada Centre are quick jaunt to the south.

There is absolutely no shortage of bars and restaurants along Front Street, John, King, and Queen. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi, burgers, pizza, or maybe you just need a quick shot of espresso before work, you’ll never have to venture too far from 87 Peter’s exquisite lobby. And if anything is ever out of walking distance or if it’s snowing too hard, you can always hop on the 24-hour King or Queen streetcars. Even the St. Andrew Station subway stop is less than a 10 minute walk away, so north-to-south travel is a cinch too!
