The Shops at Don Mills provides the Don Mills community with an authentic, lively, pedestrian-based neighbourhood and a regional gathering place to leverage a successful commercial centre.

Just as the post-war mall that preceded it was the catalyst for the growth of the “garden city” neighbourhood, the Shops at Don Mills is contributing to a renewal of the Don Mills area. It is attracting attention as an “anti-mall” placing people, (not cars) first, and giving the suburban locale an accessible, pedestrian-friendly node infused with a real life, eclectic experiences including festivals, events and spaces for leisure, hospitality, shopping, and residential typical of a downtown neighbourhood.

Flaire Condominiums is the third of seven condo developments to join this unique urban village. It is ‘60s retro-inspired with two 11-storey towers anchored by a four-storey podium which respond to the continuation of the massing of the retail shops to the east. The signature wraparound balconies resemble undulating ribbons of glass and concrete. The near-continuous balconies were sculpted in three dimensions, giving an ebb and flow to the building shape.

The fluid exterior is mirrored in the suite designs, which take advantage of abundant light and sprawling views with floor-to-ceiling windows. The four-storey podium offers residents communal amenities including a rooftop terrace, an ideal way to connect to fellow residents and the surrounding shops. Residents can enjoy starlit nights with panoramic views of shops at Don Mills and downtown Toronto.
