6 Rosebank Drive

While its concrete and tinted glass façade can only be described as contemporary, the overall atmosphere at the Markham Place II Condos is decidedly elegant. As soon as residents and their guests roll up to 6 Rosebank Drive, they won’t be able to ignore the delicate cursive lettering above the front entrance, nor the elaborate chandeliers hanging overhead in the lobby.

As the name suggests, the Markham Place II Condos was the second of a pair of towers to be built by V.H.L. Developments Inc, following the completion of Markham Place Condos. The tower at 6 Rosebank Dr was completed in 2011, and contains 203 units spread out over 6 storeys.

Then there’s Morningside Park, Toronto’s largest green space, which measures in at almost 600 acres. This park is just southeast of the building and makes a great place for a picnic or a day of urban exploring.
