Canada’s First Ultra-Luxury Condo Tower Will Be Topped by a 2-Story Super Penthouse

By: Robb Report • Published December 13, 2024

As the number of luxury condominiums in Canada continues to rise and gain popularity, high-end real estate developers Greybrook, First Capital, and Cityzen are working together on a new residential project in Toronto that aims to set a new benchmark for the Great White North; the forthcoming development in the city’s fashionable Yorkville enclave is slated to become Canada’s first ultra-luxury tower once it’s complete. Officially known as 138 Yorkville, the striking new tower isn’t expected to welcome residents until the summer or fall of 2028. However, in the meantime, Robb Report got an exclusive peek.

Designed by renowned architect Brian Brisbin of BBB Architects, the building will be akin to a vertical forest with over 120 trees planted on terraces to surround residents in nature despite being in the city. Altogether, the 31-story high-rise will deliver 67 private homes with two- and three-bedroom suites ranging from 2,400 to over 13,000 square feet, with the pièce de résistance being the so-called “Super Penthouse” that will include more than 6,000 square feet of outdoor space across two floors and a private infinity pool on the roof.

Peter Politis, CEO of Greybrook Realty Partners, told Robb Report in an interview over email, “Spanning over 19,700 square feet across three levels, this residence epitomizes luxury at the highest level in both scale and detail.”

BBB Architects collaborated on the project with designer Alessandro Munge of Studio Munge, who handled the interiors. Each of the homes, including the penthouse, will sport floor-to-ceiling glass and natural stone slab flooring. They will also come equipped with a custom temperature-controlled wine wall, a gas fireplace and a chef’s kitchen. Buyers will have a choice between three different design schemes and the option of adding a vault room for secured storage as well as purchasing an au pair suite or a private garage.

In addition, the property will feature a slew of swanky amenities like private elevator foyers and 16,000 square feet of fitness and wellness facilities, plus a complimentary chauffeured luxury car service for getting around town. “This is not about flashy extravagance but about thoughtful, bespoke living spaces that cater to a sophisticated and discerning audience,” Politis said. Prices for the units will start at CAD $10 million (or about $7.5 million).
