The property will feature 30,000 square feet of amenities including a ninth-floor terrace with an outdoor pool, private cabanas, barbecue stations, outdoor prep kitchen, firepit and dining lounge; entertainment lounges with a golf simulator and bar overlooking the golf course; and a fitness centre with a yoga studio, dance studio, private training, infrared sauna and salt treatment room.

In addition, Gupta Group has agreed with the city to completely rebuild the York Mills subway station.
