2500 Bloor Street West - Thank You for Interest

Tridel would like to thank everyone for their interest in the proposed development of 2490 and 2500 Bloor Street West. Tridel is actively working with all interested groups to come up with a win-win-win for all stakeholders. Our open participation with the community is not new to 2500 Bloor St. West- we have done it in the past with some of our recent projects such as Verve, James Cooper Mansion and Renaissance of Richmond Hill where we worked with local ratepayer associations, business groups and city and town councillors.

Rest assured that we recognize the uniqueness of the Bloor West Village and we have worked hard to listen to everyone's concerns to design a condominium that will contribute to the successful growth of the community. We are looking to pursue high LEED standards to incorporate sustainable design.
