289 Balliol Condos
Rising gracefully above the leafy streets of one of Midtown Toronto’s most treasured neighbourhoods, 289 Balliol by Menkes is set to become the newest landmark address in Davisville Village. This 31-storey pre-construction condominium will deliver a refined urban lifestyle in one of the city’s most beloved residential enclaves, known for its charm, connectivity, walkability, and welcoming community feel.
MORE INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED SOON ON THIS PROJECT
Location
289-305 Balliol street, toronto
Located at 289 Balliol Street, just west of Mount Pleasant Road, this project enjoys an enviable location that places it within walking distance of everything that makes Midtown Toronto so liveable. Davisville Village is one of the few neighbourhoods in Toronto that offers true 15-minute living—where every essential need, from groceries and cafes to transit and green space, is within easy reach on foot.
A short walk west brings you to the Davisville TTC subway station, connecting you to the Line 1 Yonge-University subway. From here, you can be downtown in under 15 minutes, whether you’re heading to the Financial District, Yorkville, or the University of Toronto. To the east, Mount Pleasant Road is lined with a delightful mix of independent retailers, artisan bakeries, quaint cafes, and family-run restaurants. This stretch has become a favourite destination for locals who prefer boutique charm over big-box anonymity.
Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail, which runs directly past the project just a few blocks away. This lush, tree-lined path weaves through Midtown, offering kilometres of uninterrupted walking, jogging, and cycling trails. You’re also minutes from June Rowlands Park, a well-loved community hub with a playground, tennis courts, and the beloved Sharon, Lois & Bram-themed musical park.
The Building
The architectural design of 289 Balliol reflects a contemporary sensibility while respecting the established character of its surroundings. The tower rises from a five-storey brick podium that gently echoes the mid-rise form of nearby buildings, integrating seamlessly into the streetscape of Balliol and Mount Pleasant. Above, clean lines, generous glazing, and a sleek material palette elevate the structure, making it a striking yet harmonious addition to the skyline.
In keeping with the design ethos Menkes is known for, the building feels timeless. It’s modern but not trendy, bold but not ostentatious. As the building rises, it offers sweeping views of the Midtown Toronto skyline, the nearby Beltline Trail, and the charming low-rise homes of Davisville and Moore Park. The building’s scale at 31 storeys is just enough to provide presence and views, but modest enough to preserve the human scale and intimate community feel of the neighbourhood.
With 272 thoughtfully designed suites, modern architecture by Turner Fleischer Architects, and an array of curated amenities, this new development represents a rare opportunity to own a contemporary home in a neighbourhood that strikes the perfect balance between dynamic city energy and peaceful residential living.
