Momentum is building in Toronto’s West End as Mattamy Homes progresses on the Westbend Residences, a new 13-storey condominium located near High Park. Recently, an event onsite gave potential buyers a hard-hat tour of the emerging development, showcasing suite layouts and stunning views from the 11th floor. This initiative highlights a suite of incentives aimed at first-time homebuyers, designed to ease entry into the current housing market.
The promotional package includes a 5% deposit structure, waiving closing costs and interim occupancy fees, which diminishes the upfront financial burden on buyers. Additionally, purchasers will receive a complimentary parking space and a storage locker, essential perks in this transit-friendly location.
Construction is well underway, with significant advancements in internal cladding and fit-out since the last update. This progress is paving the way for occupancy in early 2026. Attendees of the recent event appreciated the opportunity to preview key amenity spaces and panoramic views that include the lush landscapes of High Park and the expansive waters of Lake Ontario.
Designed by BDP Quadrangle, Westbend Residences features an appealing contemporary design with a mix of warm brick and metal accents. The ground level will host three retail units to foster pedestrian activity along Indian Road, enriching the community atmosphere.
Inside, the 174 suites boast open-concept designs, large windows, and private balconies. High-quality finishes include quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, catering to modern tastes. The building encompasses a range of amenities such as a co-working lounge, a social lounge, a fully equipped fitness center, and dedicated spaces for yoga.
Among the rooftop amenities, residents will enjoy breathtaking city views, outdoor dining, barbecues, a meditation area, and game spaces—making for an inviting communal experience.
A standout feature of Westbend is its geothermal heating and cooling system, aligning with Mattamy’s commitment to sustainability. This system utilizes stable underground temperatures, demonstrating an innovative approach to energy efficiency.
Accessibility is a key advantage of Westbend, located near the Bloor GO and UP Express stations, providing direct commuting options to downtown Toronto and Pearson Airport. The prime location also offers easy walking access to the expanse of High Park, neighbourhood parks, and a vibrant local scene replete with independent cafés and shops.
As construction advances, UrbanToronto will keep a close eye on the progress of Westbend Residences, a promising addition to the city’s landscape and an attractive opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a growing community.
