Still affordable yet close to all amenities, Cityzen and Fernbrook's new Thornhill community is an excellent location to invest for long term real estate gain

Anyone who watches real estate — and who doesn't in Toronto? – knows that neighbourhoods inevitably rise in both desirability and price. Twenty years ago nobody anticipated the boom, and areas that were once lagging in value are now highly sought after because of their proximity to essential services, especially transit and transportation routes. If only we'd known then what we know now, we would have grabbed the opportunity when it arose.It's never too late, though; it's just that the areas have moved a little. And Thornhill is like other GTA satellites – former suburbs that have become communities in their own right — with property values on the rise. With the yearly migration into the GTA values won't reverse – Toronto prices already are out of reach for many, especially young couples, families and even empty nesters.Thornhill, though, is still affordable, yet close to all amenities. Poised to become another of those vital urban centres, Thornhill is an excellent location to invest for long term real estate gain. Witness the growth of cities like Markham, Vaughan, and Maple.The development of Thornhill City Centre in 2004 – at Bathurst and Centre Streets – was the beginning of the area's new vibrancy. Now, 2500 units in 11 buildings have become home to 2,000 families nestled around a five-acre urban park, a myriad of retail shops, offices and essential services.The City Centre has everything: highrise buildings, urban side-street townhomes, a mix of retail, office and services, a five-acre urban park at its core, and a walk score of 85/100. It's close to three major golf courses, Uplands ski centre, and adjacent to Highways 7, 407, 401 and 400 (which puts you halfway to cottage country already).D'or Condos is about to launch in the middle of all this excitement. Anticipated to be completed by 2022, the development is comprised of two residential buildings – a northern tower of 22 storeys and a southern tower of six storeys. Across the street are local shops and services, cafes and grocery stores, and a nine-minute walk away is Promenade Mall. The Finch subway station, the new Vaughan Metro Centre subway station, and the GO station are all fairly close, accessible by car or Viva bus. There is substantial green space, with several large metro area parks, three golf courses, and the Uplands ski centre nearby.With its significantly lower prices than downtown Toronto, starting in the $400,000s, D'Or is able to offer luxury accommodation and amenities. Virtually every suite has outdoor space, either a terrace that is open from the living room and master, a ground floor patio, or a smaller scaled balcony. Features are in keeping with a luxury upscale building – designer appliances, customizable palette, gourmet kitchens and baths, and nine- and ten-foot ceilings.One, two and three-bedroom suites are well designed, maximizing the space from the smallest at 529 square feet and all the way up to 1,776 square feet (by comparison, the smallest units in downtown Toronto hover around 350 square feet.)The amenities space is amazing with hot tub, steam room, sauna, indoor-outdoor pool, alfresco kitchen and dining area, fitness centre, and yoga studio with trainer. Those hard-driving young urbanites who need to unwind after a long work day will love the gym, as will empty nesters intent on being active and fit. Pet owners will love the dog spa.The developers behind D'Or are proven – Cityzen Development and Fernbrook Homes have developed landmark projects all across the GTA. Previous notable projects include, L Tower, St. Lawrence Condos, Pier 27 and Aria Condominiums.For further information call or visit the website.416.845.9500DorCondos.com
