The Action: Over the past few years, West Don Lands has grown to include new shops, businesses and developments such as River City, where this two-storey townhouse is so different from traditional offerings that it took several weeks to round up roughly 30 suitable potential buyers.

What They Got: In the first phase of a mixed-use, multitower project designed by acclaimed architectural firm Saucier + Perrotte, there is a small collection of townhouses, such as this 1,200-square-foot unit with a street-level front entrance off a 185-square-foot patio and a back door to parking in an above-grade garage.

  • Interior appointments include nine- to 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows across an open living and dining area, as well as stone kitchen counters and stainless steel appliances along the back wall.
  • Filling out the second floor are a den and two bedrooms, including a master with one of two bathrooms.
  • Monthly condominium fees of $586 pay for the upkeep of amenities, such as guest suites, an outdoor pool, fitness, media and party rooms.
