Overview of The Verve

A 40-storey high-rise condo, The Verve was built in 2008. The Verve is located at 120 Homewood Ave within the North St. James Town neighbourhood, with a total of 444 units. The architectural style departs from the mid-century modernist aesthetic found in other parts of the neighbourhood. While the same concrete towers of the 1960s occupy the immediate district, this building is a product of 21st century materials, with rows of glass and steel. The 40-storey structure towers over the original residential blocks and now forms part of the story of residential intensification in the district.

Suite Sizes & Value

The floor plans for suites range from 522 to 1,686 square feet. Although the smaller sizes are laid out for efficiency, the larger suites provide more square footage than many contemporary high-rise developments. As of the latest data, the price for suites averaged $918 / sq. ft., positioning this property in the mid-range market for new construction in the area, compared to luxury builds in the downtown core and beyond.
