Bang & Olufsen in Yorkville
We consider ourselves to be techies – we love gadgets and gizmos and our Christmas wish list (is it too early to be talking about Christmas?) always includes the latest electronics. Knowing this, you can just imagine how excited we are to call Bang & Olufsen our neighbours – their flagship Toronto store is right down the street from Exhibit and 1 Yorkville! Continue reading
Murder at the ROM
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: one of the best things about our future project 1 Yorkville is that it’s so close to the Royal Ontario Museum. We like to check out its many exhibitions, wander aimlessly for hours admiring the different jewels, artefacts and treasures from all around the world, and attend the many events! There’s the much-talked about Friday Night Live, when the ROM turns into a late-night party with fun, food and great music, and then there’s the Urban Capers’ Murder at the ROM.

6 of the World’s Best Athletes’ Villages
You don’t have to be a sports fan to get sucked into the Olympics. We’ve been glued to our TV screens, Youtube, Twitter, and anywhere else we can catch a glimpse of the Olympics.
Because we’re so obsessed with the Olympics at the moment, we decided to take a look at what became of some Athletes’ Villages from past years. From dorms to mixed-use communities, most of the Villages continue to be used, often thanks to innovations in design and sustainability.

Founded in 1995, the Bata Shoe Museum is another one of our favourite spots in the area, and it’s perfect for Manolo Blahnik-lovers or sneaker aficionados! Continue reading
