At grade, Chaz on Charles is an elegant five-storey limestone-clad pavilion with a series of punched recessed windows that give the composition a visually distinct dramatic look. Being neighbourly-fitting contextually into the Charles streetscape-was also imperative to the Chaz design team, so the podium syncs up brilliantly with the Casa, next door, adding significantly to the street wall.
Stepping back from the pavilion on the sixth, Chaz, the tower, soars thirty- nine stories into the sky. And this is when the architectural spirit of Chaz achieves "lift-off." Its sleek aerodynamic shape gives it initial propulsion. But other elements provide additional energy--and elegance--to the overall design. Unlike most condominiums whose balconies are tacked onto the building, at Chaz they're an integral part of the building, literally recessed into the alcoves created by Chaz's unique shape.
Still, the architectural "piece de resistance" at Chaz is a series of dramatic gestures on the skin of the building that will instantly make it a downtown Toronto landmark. Jutting out from the 31st and 32nd levels on the south side of the building is a two-storey cantilevered box, framed in white concrete and illuminated at night. This is the Chaz Club, a lounge and dining space for the building's residents, and it is a dazzling architectural gesture. From miles around, Torontonians will look up to see residents of Chaz, and their guests, enjoying cocktails on the club's spacious terrace or relaxing inside this glass box in the sky.
LOCATION SENSATION AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!
Sophistication meets sensational location at CHAZ on Charles which is the perfect choice for savvy buyers who appreciate living at one of Canada's most coveted addresses.
CHAZ is walking distance to a phenomenal assortment of local amenities including Yorkville and its section of Bloor Street that features world-renowned shops such as Holt Renfrew, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, Swarovski, and Prada. The Yonge Street strip is also nearby with its funky bars, pubs and popular restaurants. Plus, it's a short stroll to the Church and Wellesley area, one of the most diverse urban villages in North America, as well as the University of Toronto, Queen's Park and the Royal Ontario Museum. The intersection of the Yonge and Bloor subway lines is less than two blocks away, making Toronto's major hospitals along University, Kensington Market, Ryerson University, and thousands of employers and jobs conveniently close.
Charles Street itself is a beautiful, pedestrian-friendly location that offers a haven of tranquility in the midst of its vibrant surroundings. CHAZ will add a wonderful residential component to this neighbourhood, which will add greatly to purchasers' lifestyle and value for years to come.
FROM FIRST GLANCE
Residents and visitors to Chaz on Charles will enter under a canopy that protects them from the elements, and inside, two inviting lobbies provide a vibrant welcome similar to an upscale private club. Rather than a cold, empty entry area that looks like a shrine, the Chaz Cecconi Simone-appointed lobbies will be literally brimming with activity. From Charles Street or the car drop-off on the side of the building, the living room-style Lobby Lounge features bookshelves, a fireplace, little banquettes, offering the perfect place to linger over the morning paper or a café latte.
Mirroring this space on the east side is the another lobby that is divided into a series of smaller spaces: The Living Room, The Wet Bar, The Dining Room (complete with wet bar and catering kitchen) and The Billiards Room - all of which open onto a landscaped outdoor terrace. The east lobby spaces can also be booked for private functions, so it really can become a "social" extension of residents' homes upstairs. As it is throughout the building, the colour palette is trademark Cecconi Simone white and light - white walls, light wood, soft indirect lighting - and the furniture contemporary and comfortable, creating a mid-century modern aesthetic. And of course, 24-hour concierge service is available to take care of residents' needs.
AMAZING AMENITIES
For those who like to break a sweat, or relish a little intellectual stimulation in their downtime, Chaz on Charles has plenty of options. For recreation, the building's second floor has a fully-equipped gym, combination yoga/Pilates studio and spinning room, men's and women's change rooms with steam rooms, and a spa with massage chairs and hydra massage bed. A facility unique to the Chaz complex is a computer gamers arena powered by the latest online computer gaming environment. Six gamer chairs are outfitted with television monitors and an audio system, with sub-woofers integrated into the chairs.
For more cerebral pursuits, the second floor has two theatres, one with a 3-D Hollywood-style screening room, the other a sports-viewing room with comfortable sofa-style seating, and a small lounge attached. The second floor complex also has a fully equipped conference/meeting room, which will be especially useful for residents whose home sometimes substitutes as an office. Plus, there are one- and two-bedroom guest suites to accommodate overnight company in style.
Another unique amenity at Chaz on Charles is the Pet Spa located off the vestibule of the side-door car drop-off entrance to the building. Any dog owner who has brought Fido home after a particularly messy walk in the park will appreciate the utility of this amenity. Equipped with a stainless steel tub and a blow dryer, the spa makes it quick and easy to get dogs back to a state where they won't wreck havoc on those priceless Persian rugs.
THE CHAZ CLUB
The signature interior of the building is the breathtaking two-storey Chaz Club overlooking the lake and downtown skyline on the 36th and 37th floors. Here, superlatives barely capture the awesome beauty of this private club in the sky. First, note the location, so high up in the building. Unlike condominiums where the amenity spaces are located on the lower floors, the Chaz Club is a two-storey glass box jutting out from the south side of the building, which means residents on the north side can also enjoy stunning south-facing downtown and lake vistas that go on, well, forever.
As is the case downstairs, the divide between the inside of the Chaz Club and its expansive outdoor terrace-in-the-sky has been cleverly erased. The floor-to-ceiling windows help, as do such design sleights-of-hand as having banquettes on the inside merge seamlessly with the banquettes outside.
