One Park Place South Tower – Building Details
One Park Place is surrounded by greenery and wide, pedestrian-friendly streets.
At 29-storeys, the South Tower is 5-floors taller than its North Tower counterpart.
Both buildings rise from a red-brick podium and have symmetrical facades distinguished by bold white lines and glass-paneled balconies.
The condo lobby employs greenery to soften its geometric exterior.
One Park Place offers a combined 45,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor amenities.
Speaking of the outdoors, the condo’s Regent Park location is just as scenic as it sounds.
Residents are steps away from amazing shops, cafes, restaurants, parks, community centres, public transit and more.
55 Regent Park Blvd Unit 1210 – The Space
Unit 1210 has a linear, streamlined layout with tons of natural light.
The 466 sq. ft. condo consists of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a modern kitchen, open-concept living and dining areas, and a wide balcony.
A linear design maximizes space while an open-concept layout adds flow.
In addition to efficiency, Unit 1210 also emphasizes aesthetics.
For example, wide plank laminate floors look great and provide a colourful contrast to the gray walls.
And thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony doors, the living room is saturated with sunlight.
Bask in the warm sunshine while admiring the scenic tree-top views.
Another view worth admiring is the kitchen.
55 Regent Park Blvd Unit 1210 – Kitchen
Unit 1210’s kitchen combines perfect form with flawless function.
Embedded into the wall, its linear design ensures every inch of space is put to good use.
For instance, the kitchen has an abundance of drawers, cabinets and cupboards.
And as you can see above, it’s also very well lit, utilizing recessed, track and valence lighting.
Aesthetic touches include quartz counters, a large-tile back-splash, and cabinets with textured finishes.
But what makes this kitchen really special is its custom-made quartz island.
Blending beauty with efficiency, this gorgeous island transforms the space into an eat-in kitchen.
The quartz island looks great and can accommodate up to four individuals.
There’s plenty of legroom on either side.
Unit 1210 comes with the following European-style appliances:
- Stainless-steel fridge, cooktop and oven
- Dishwasher and microwave range hood
- Stacked washer and dryer
55 Regent Park Blvd Unit 1210 – Primary Bedroom & Bath
Unit 1210 has a large primary bedroom with enough space for a work desk.
At 8.5 by 12.1 sq. ft., the bedroom boasts laminate floors and two floor-to-ceiling windows.
The tall windows provide a jolt of morning sunshine as well as a calming view of greenery.
There’s also a sizeable closet for all your storage needs.
No need to buy a full-length mirror when you have these convenient closet doors.
Work from home? The primary bedroom can handle a variety of big furniture, including a desk.
You can always replace the work desk with a nightstand, armchair, bookcase or dresser.
Unit 1210’s bathroom is located just across the kitchen.
This stunning 4-piece bath features porcelain floors, quartz counters and wall-mounted storage.
It also sports a custom vanity with shelves, a medicine cabinet, recessed lighting, and an acrylic soaker tub for bath-lovers.
55 Regent Park Blvd Unit 1210 – Balcony
Transparent glass panels reveal the streets below.
The 11.4 by 4.0 sq. ft. balcony has ample space for a bistro set, plants and other décor.
While the balcony uses glass panels for a fuller view, it employs an opaque divider for privacy.
That means residents can enjoy epic vistas in peace and comfort.
Those vistas include a forest of greenery and soft blue skies as far as the eye can see.
But you don’t have to go far to find yourself in nature.
In fact, One Park Place boasts rooftop gardens and landscaped terraces.
According to Urban Toronto, the condo is dedicated to environmentally-friendly design:
Among many distinguishing features of the One Park Place project is the focus on sustainability. The cost of heating and cooling One Park Place condos will be noticeably less than the average Toronto condo…
So residents save on heating and cooling (and get one heck of a view).

About Regent Park
Regent Park is the ideal neighbourhood for first-time homebuyers (City of Toronto, Flickr).
Because it’s undergoing a massive urban revitalization, Regent Park has lower home prices compared to more developed parts of the city.
According to TorontoHousing.ca, the goal is to create:
…a successful, mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhood, with rental buildings, market condominium buildings, townhomes, commercial spaces, community facilities, active parks and open spaces.
The current phase will see the creation of thousands of condo units (wyliepoon, Flickr).
The redevelopment also includes new community, social, green and retail spaces.
blogTO reports:
In addition to the massive injection of new housing, the community would benefit from approximately 13,721 square metres of non-residential/retail space…
These include a Freshco, Tim Hortons, RBC, Shoppers Drug Mart and more (Roozbeh Rokni, Flickr).
But Regent Park doesn’t stop at retail.
There’s also plans to revitalize the neighbourhood’s artistic, cultural, communal and educational spaces.
Some of the new or updated buildings include the Regent Park Aquatic Centre, the Regent Park Athletic Grounds, the TD Centre for Community Learning, and a brand-new library.
Daniel’s Spectrum, a 60,000 sq. ft. cultural centre, showcases the arts, music, theatre and film (Daniel Lobo, Flickr).
The results of this ambitious redevelopment so far?
Storeys.com explains:
Regent Park is now home to diverse restaurants and cafés, grocery stores, state-of-the-art athletic grounds, a six-acre community park, an enriching community centre with one of Toronto’s best swimming pools, and a remodelled public school.
