Get
ready for the shape of things to come, at the northeast corner of
Bayview and Sheppard Avenues, when ARC Condominiums at Bayview Village
opens for sale this October. Situated adjacent to Bayview Village
Shopping Centre, ARC will offer direct access to the Bayview subway
station. “At ARC, our design team has yet again raised the bar with the curvilinear shape of this spectacular glass-clad building,” says Niall Haggart. It is situated on one of the most prominent corners of the Sheppard corridor – right at Bayview Avenue – and is literally seconds from the city’s major highways, as well as offering direct access to the subway. The northeast corner is the highest point in that area, and we took that into consideration when deciding on the architectural treatment that will maximize spectacular views in every direction.
The interiors will be equally impressive, with suites designs offering large windows and balconies, emphasizing this incredible location. We have selected the most modern finishes to complete the package, so we do not expect that the suites will last long. Our preview registration list for ARC grows daily.”
