Artistic rendering of The Berczy condos at Church and Front Streets

New neighbour for the Flatiron: The Berczy condo site at the southwest corner of Church and Front Streets is now surrounded by hoarding, and demolition activity is underway at what used to be the The Keg steakhouse chain’s Church Street location.

The Berczy will be a 13-story building with just 163 suites, billed by its developer — Concert Real Estate Corporation — as “a boutique collection of city homes.”

It will be a new neighbour for one of Toronto’s most popular landmarks, the Flatiron building at Front and Wellington Streets.

The Berczy itself is just as popular, it seems: the project is completely sold out.

Below are some pics I shot recently at The Berczy site.

Apparently, much of this brick building immediately to the south of The Berczy will be restored and  incorporated into the new condominium complex.
