908 St. Clair launches near budding “new Ossington”

Friday, January 28, 2022

At 12 storeys, 908 St. Clair will be the second of two boutique projects that make up Canderel’s St. Clair Village. The condo will rise one block east of the budding Oakwood Avenue main street, an area many are calling the “new Ossington.”

Oakwood has been designated by the City of Toronto as the Oakwood Avenue Arts District with an active community that celebrates and promotes local artists through mural installations in public spaces, art contests and exhibits.

There’s a revitalized food and arts scene there, from unique restaurant concepts to locally-owned shops. “We are excited by all the new activity happening in the St. Clair-Oakwood neighbourhood and to be firmly on the ground in such an authentic and connected part of the city,” says Ben Rogowski, COO of Canderel.

The project is currently under construction, with another project site in the pipeline at Bathurst and St. Clair. TACT Architecture designed the condo, with grey-toned masonry and warm, natural materials, including a wood canopy, that frame the residential and retail entrances.

“Characterized by clean, straight lines and natural materials, the building is not an attention seeker but has a subtle, sophisticated design that respects the masonry character and privacy of surrounding homes,” says Prishram Jain, principal of TACT Architecture. “While it is a new building, it will feel as if it has always been there.”

Residents will have access to hospitality-inspired amenities envisioned by interior design firm DesignGenics. The lobby features 16-foot ceilings and a grand fireplace with stone and gold metal accents.

Residential suites range from studios to three-bedrooms plus den, and four, two-storey townhouse units with direct street access.
