Project Overview

After the remarkable success of Daniels FirstHome™ Keelesdale Phases 1 & 2, we are thrilled to announce the imminent arrival of the third and final release of condominium suites and townhomes in this highly sought-after master-planned community!

Situated in one of Toronto's most well-connected neighborhoods, this dynamic 12-acre master-planned community is nestled in a lush ravine setting, surrounded by picturesque outdoor spaces such as a new nature-themed public park, established walking and cycling trails, and a children’s playground. Phase 3 positions you closest to the natural ravine setting in the community, ensuring convenient access and captivating views of the great outdoors.

Live just moments away from a diverse array of retail and restaurants, major highways, and the Yorkville Shopping Centre. Additionally, the eagerly anticipated and soon-to-be-completed Eglinton LRT is a mere 6-minute walk away! This upcoming pre-construction project by the Daniels Corporation will feature a mix of condo towers and townhouse blocks, strategically located just north of a station on the brand-new Eglinton Crosstown. As the neighborhood undergoes significant densification, this community is poised to capture the attention of families and students alike.

Location

Situated at the crossroads of Keele St. and Ingram Drive, Daniels Keelesdale Condos and Towns grace the Amesbury neighborhood in York. Embraced by the natural beauty of Black Creek, this locale is enveloped by lush greenbelts and parks. From the expansive Westview Greenbelt and Amesbury Park to the north and west, to smaller local gems like Gulliver Park just around the corner, and Woodborough to the east, Daniels Keelesdale occupies a convenient space with numerous opportunities to connect with nature.

Merely eight minutes by car from the Glencairn TTC Subway Station, Yorkdale Shopping Mall, York University, and various business parks and office buildings, Keelesdale emerges as an appealing destination for young professionals, students, and families alike.

Proximity to the TTC renders Keelesdale an excellent choice for students attending York University (or even Ryerson and U of T), facilitating a quick commute to school. For young families, the neighborhood strikes a balance between the allure of downtown vibrancy and a more relaxed suburban lifestyle in North York.

Families residing in the area can choose from a plethora of nearby schools such as George Anderson Public School and Immaculate Conception Catholic School, along with a variety of daycares and Montessori schools. The nearby Glen Long Community Centre offers an array of arts, fitness, sports, and camp-related programs, in addition to a pool and other community amenities.

Neighborhood Highlights

Numerous outlets, services, and stores are conveniently situated just a short drive away, including Canadian Tire, Rogers, Freshco, Nofrills, Metro, LCBO, and Walmart, all within a five-minute radius, streamlining daily errands.

The North York Region boasts a variety of large outlet and wholesale malls and stores, providing residents with abundant access to the city's best deals and shopping opportunities right in their own neighborhood. With numerous schools and attractions in close proximity, the North York area is experiencing growth, capturing the interest of eager investors. Families in the area can choose from a diverse array of nearby schools such as George Anderson Public School and Immaculate Conception Catholic School, along with several daycares and Montessori schools. Additionally, the nearby Glen Long Community Centre hosts a range of arts, fitness, sports, and camp-related programs, as well as offering a pool and other community amenities.

Transit and Accessibility

Keelesdale occupies a strategically convenient location in Toronto, providing residents with easy access to the upcoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The Keelesdale station, a mere ten-minute walk from the community, is expected to be completed in 2022, revolutionizing transit infrastructure throughout the York region. This development will simplify connections to the main TTC Subway lines, facilitating more straightforward commutes and seamless travel from the western part of the city to eastern neighborhoods like Scarborough.

Currently, the nearest TTC station is Glencairn, accessible by a short drive or connecting bus route. Heading south to Union Station opens up a plethora of options for travelers, commuters, and explorers. The UP Express Train links Union to Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, GO Transit covers commuter rail lines across the entire GTA and beyond, and VIA Rail offers inter-city transit along the Quebec-Windsor Corridor, the most densely populated region in Canada.

Alternatively, heading north to Yorkdale GO station ensures effortless travel across the GTA. Students will appreciate the convenient 40-minute commute to York University, making Keelesdale an attractive location for investment.

For drivers, proximity to the Allen Expressway offers a convenient route to traverse the city or venture outside it. Quick connections to Highway 400 and 401 streamline travel, bypassing a significant portion of downtown traffic.
