The builders behind the project, Amexon Development Corporation, enjoy a thirty-five year track record in Toronto, establishing a brand synonymous with building excellence and tenant satisfaction. South Beach enjoys the smitten loyalty of socialites and starlets alike, and serves as great inspiration for the company’s latest project. The presentation center will be a “must-see” destination in itself, an impressive showroom highlighting the persuasive power of design in a contemporary urban context. Adding to an extensive portfolio in commercial, residential, industrial and hospitality – this new project is a developer’s dream come true: an ideal location, the perfect time, the best team of collaborators. In generating the look and feel of the concept, Amexon wisely tapped high profile, Toronto based firm II By IV Design Associates. The team is led by founder Dan Menchions, a designer internationally recognized for both his exceptional design skill and management expertise. “We were really doing variations on the best of “the South Beach style” – but with an elegant, understated twist,” says Menchions. And his isn’t a plug-n-play import approach either. “We adapted the most suitable elements. We thought about what would translate best to the specific environment of our site,” he explains. So don’t expect a lazy every-single-thing-is-white. A “toss the jelly beans round the room to find the bed” kind of thing. Menchion muses, “Everyone associates South Beach with stark white. We went further with the nuances of contrasting a “warmer” white with a “cooler” white.” 

II BY IV has succeeded on a mandate of “Design magically; Think practically”. In the business for over 17 years, the focus has remained fixed on providing innovative design that proves profoundly functional. “In playing with scale, we took that to the extremes in the exterior – imagine oversize planters peppering the property with riots of blooming colour in the summer time,” he offers brightly. To describe the signature elements of the design he adds, “We experimented with accents of just the right colour in just the right space. We’re dropping five-foot diameter tangerine chandeliers in lobby. There’s a huge wow factor at work here.” In the case of the South Beach Condos + Lofts, II By IV demonstrates an inspired interpretation of current and emerging consumer attitudes and expectations. So what can you expect when crossing Toronto’s most austere design team with the land of champagne, speedos and sunscreen? The most promising new condo concept in the city, one that will treat Toronto to a residential oasis of significance. The setting is an epic lakeside Shangri-la, complete with a green “checker board” of botanicals, avenues of oversized potted plants lining expansive manicured lawns. In the expanse between the two towers, the developers have cleverly combined a dramatic outdoor reflecting pool with a stunning patio lounge, complete with private cabanas.

Next to its prime lakefront location, one of the key selling points of the project is “The Shore Club” – 40,000 square feet of unique lifestyle amenities, rivaling the offerings of many luxury hotels. For clients looking for the total amenity package, look no further. This development offers an outdoor reflecting pool, sundeck with private cabanas, indoor pool, quiet garden, squash courts, fully-equipped gym, juice bar, yoga/meditation rooms. Moreover, “The Ocean Drive Lounge” is the condo community’s entertainment hub, designed to create an ideal social experience without having to leave home.  When the frigid temperatures of February in Toronto take hold, your sun-kissed suite will hold out her rosy hand - like a blushing Sandra Dee offering her cheek for Bobby Darin’s kiss. Residents escape the chills with a warm whirlpool, or a mani-pedi session at the on-site SOBE spa. If leaving your suite is not an option, lather up like a rock star in your ensuite’s deep soak bath. The well-planned layouts invite additions of king-sized feather beds, so a Cinderella sleep is a tuck in away. Many boast private wrap-around terraces for dramatic views over Lake Ontario. This is a truly unique investment opportunity, as it brings South Beach architecture and lifestyle to Toronto within a secure, thematically unified master plan. For the discerning condo shopper whose favorite floor plan must be topped with an adventurous twist, II BY IV introduces five innovative and upscale finishing packages to suit every sensibility.
