2 Old Mill Drive

Nestled at 2 Old Mill Dr in the High Park & Swansea neighbourhood, Two Old Mill is a stylish 10 storey building, with a cream stone exterior accented by black window frames. Built by Tridel, this property is the second phase of their development on Old Mill Dr, and sits beside its sister residence: One Old Mill.

This building was completed in 2015 and features modern, relaxing amenities — pool, sauna, yoga studio, party room, games room, media room, shared rooftop deck and garden, business centre, meeting room, visitor lounge, guest suites, security guard, and parking garage.

Considering the location and desirable extras that come with it, Toronto condos for sale here cast a wide net in terms of buyers. Two Old Mill is an ideal residence for young or established professionals, couples, small families, and empty nesters. Prices can be on the higher end, so first time home buyers might be left out in the cold.

Despite the fact that this building is only 10 storeys tall, it is quite large, with over 200 bright and spacious units. Suites are available in a variety of layouts and exposures for 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, 2 bedroom + den. Sizes range from 508 square feet to a staggering 2850 square feet for a penthouse suite.
