Condo Project Summary
This is an upcoming condo project within walking distance of York University and sporting fantastic transit access.
44 Romfield Drive Condos is a pre-construction development in Toronto’s York University Heights neighbourhood. Located at the southwest corner of Keele St and Finch Ave W, this project will feature two residential towers at 35 and 37 storeys high, connected by a 6-storey podium. It will offer 972 condo units in a variety of studio to three-bedroom layouts.
Investors will be poised to take advantage of the enormous student rental demand and improved public transit as the new Finch West LRT starts at the subway station just across the street.
Amenities
44 Romfield Drive Condos will transform this corner of Keele and Finch with two impressive buildings linked by an L-shaped, tiered podium of 6 storeys. Striking dark panels at the base are complemented by gleaming 35- and 37-storey glass towers.
The taller building will face Finch, while the shorter will face Keele, and the whole development partially wraps around an existing commercial building at the intersection corner.
This project offers 972 condo units and 33 replacement rental units (as this development replaces 33 townhomes on the site). The unit breakdown is as follows: 18 studios, 635 one-bedroom, 222 two-bedroom, and 97 three-bedroom units — perfect for individual or shared living arrangements.
Most units will have private balcony space or terraces. Replacement rental units will be located in the portion of the podium that connects the two towers. Details about unit features and finishes will be announced, but we can expect high-quality, modern materials and comfortable layouts.
The building offers ample amenity space: over 21,000 square feet of indoor and 20,500 square feet of outdoor amenities will be provided on floors 1, 6, and 7. Amenities include multiple rooftop terraces with shaded dining and lounging spaces and a new 8,000-square-foot on-site park just south of the building.
Additionally, there will be 432 underground parking spaces, so residents are encouraged to take advantage of excellent public transit access in this neighbourhood. There will also be 740 bike spaces (662 long-term and 78 short-term), and ground-floor retail space will face Finch and Keele.
Location & Neighbourhood
The York University Heights neighbourhood’s main feature is, of course, its namesake university. York U is a short distance from 44 Romfield Drive Condos — reachable in a 15-minute walk or a single subway stop. This popular post-secondary institution welcomes 45,000 full-time students every year, providing investors with a large and ready student rental market and the opportunity to generate passive income.
44 Romfield Drive is part of a highly accessible area, sporting a transit score of 83 and walk/bike scores of 87 and 67 respectively. First, the site is less than 5 km from three 400-series highways: 400, 401, and 407. Highway proximity means that motorists can easily travel across the GTA from here. Conveniently, TTC buses operate along both Keele and Finch, so locals are well-connected in the city. The Finch West Subway Station across the street offers access to Line 1, meaning that commuters can get to Downtown Toronto in 45 minutes. Additionally, Downsview Park GO Station is about 2 km away, allowing riders to hop onto the Barrie Line and travel to Union Station in 25 minutes.
Exciting developments will bring even more value to properties in this undervalued neighbourhood.
The new Finch West LRT will provide convenient transit access from here to Humber College in Toronto’s west end, starting from Keele St. And Jane Finch Mall, just 2 kilometres west of the condo site, is slated for redevelopment into several more condos, which points toward a growing future for this area that will see even more people and amenities coming soon.
Residents can enjoy plenty of everyday conveniences living at 44 Romfield Drive. Several grocery stores in the area are predominantly small ethnic grocers offering Caribbean, Brazilian, and Turkish imported ingredients. Shoppers can also find No Frills and Yummy Market nearby. There is a diverse selection of fast food restaurants at the Keele and Finch intersection, including Popeyes, McDonald’s, and Pizza Nova. Hungry residents can choose from Nigerian, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines that reflect the multicultural population found in Toronto.
Thanks to subway access, Yorkdale Mall is just four stops from the condo location. The vast, luxurious shopping centre features over 275 stores and services, including high-end brands such as Tiffany & Co, Burberry, Saint Laurent, Versace, Holt Renfrew, Restoration Hardware, Harry Rosen, and Valentino. Not only does Yorkdale draw shoppers in from all across the GTA for unique shopping experiences and attractions, but it also serves as a significant employment zone.
