One Bedford is a high-end residential development bordering the Annex, one of Toronto’s upscale 19th century neighbourhoods. The transition from the heritage neighbourhood to the north, to the busier, retail/institutional Bloor Street precinct to the south is mitigated by an eight-storey limestone-clad base articulated as a stone frame with large windows. On Bloor Street, the base forms a continuous urban street-wall activated with retail uses. The main entrance on Bedford Avenue features a garden forecourt. The lower north tower is a lighter, glass building that mediates between the base and the taller Bloor Street point-tower. The exterior expression resonates with the primarily masonry character of the Annex neighbourhood. A projecting bay window floats above Bloor Street capturing dramatic east and west views. Units in the towers are distinguished with views toward the north and south.
The neighbourhood of the Annex is one of Toronto’s most diverse communities. Located steps from the University of Toronto’s main campus, this location is a cohesive blend between successful professionals, prominent artists and university students and faculty. This neighbourhood has long been a desirable neighbourhood for university students due to its proximity to the school. Many fraternity, sorority and student houses can be found laced throughout the neighbourhood in some of the large historic Victorian homes. This cross between the various types of residents allows the Annex to continue to evolve with new life and new energy. This presence of younger residents also has developed the Annex’s nightlife. Find numerous bars, nightclubs and restaurants mostly concentrated along Bloor Street and experience the student nightlife scene.
