Canderel successfully launched the final phase of the College Park project in February of 2008. By July of 2009, sales at AURA had recorded 884 sales out of a total of 931 – that’s 95% of the entire building sold, making AURA one of the fastest selling condominium projects in the Greater Toronto Area. AURA at College Park is a retail and condominium complex located at the northwest corner of Gerrard and Yonge streets. The project underwent the first local and international design review process ever done in Ontario. A panel of three top local architects that included Rene Menkes, Bruce Kuwabara, and Eberheard Zeidler, and two international architects, Jon Pikard and Josh Chaiken scrutinized all aspects of the building with city officials and our architects, Graziani + Corazza. Most of the project’s original design remained intact with emphasis placed on the podium level where it meets the street. The result of the process has been a building design destined to be a landmark development in the city. Official approval was received from the Ontario Municipal Board in November, 2007.
Aura, a 75 storey condominium tower standing 243 meters in height will boast 1.3 million sq.ft. of space. 1.1 million sq.ft. will be devoted exclusively to residential space and 180,000 sq.ft. will be prime retail space in the podium. The result is Canada's tallest residential tower consisting of 931 residential suites.
The building will showcase the finest in amenity space, suite finishes, and environmental features. A direct underground link to the College Park complex and subway station will connect residents to over 300,000 sq.ft. of retail without stepping outside. Construction of Aura started in January, 2010.
