Midtown Toronto continues to evolve, and the area around Mount Pleasant Road and Eglinton Avenue is an important part of that story. It brings together established neighbourhood streets, local businesses, transit connections, and opportunities for new homes. For people considering where to live in the city, that combination has a practical appeal: more of daily life can happen close to home.

BAZIS has proposed two residential towers at 732 and 750 Mount Pleasant Road. As plans for the site move forward, we’re considering how new homes can fit into this changing part of Midtown and contribute to the experience of living there.

Why Location Matters in Midtown

Location shapes the small decisions people make each day: where to pick up coffee, how to get to work, and whether it’s easy to meet a friend or run an errand close to home.

Around Mount Pleasant and Eglinton, residents have access to shops, restaurants, schools, and transit. Yonge and Eglinton is nearby, while Mount Pleasant Road has a neighbourhood character of its own. That balance between local life and connections to the wider city is part of what makes Midtown Toronto appealing.

It also gives new development an important setting to respond to. A residential building becomes part of the streets people already use, with an impact on how they move through and experience the area.

Designing for Everyday Life

When people explore a new condominium, they naturally look at the homes themselves. Layout, natural light, outdoor space, and amenities can all affect whether a place suits their needs. But the experience extends beyond an individual unit. Entrances, ground-level spaces, and connections to the surrounding streets also influence what it feels like to come home.

BAZIS’ proposal for Mount Pleasant Road offers an opportunity to think about these elements together. The two-tower concept is being planned within an established urban neighbourhood, where the relationship between the buildings and the surrounding area matters as much as their presence on the skyline.

For prospective residents, the question is how a development would support the routines they already have, and the ones they hope to make room for. Access to transit may simplify a commute. Nearby shops and services may make weekends easier. Thoughtfully planned shared spaces may offer more ways to spend time at home.

Part of a Changing Neighbourhood

Toronto’s neighbourhoods grow over time, shaped by both new development and the places people have valued for years. In Midtown, that means considering how additional homes could sit alongside existing businesses, streets, and community spaces.

The Mount Pleasant proposal is one part of that broader evolution. It will bring new residents to an area with an established mix of neighbourhood life and city connections. Its design will also play a role in how the site relates to the streets around it.

For anyone exploring new luxury condo developments in Toronto, these details deserve attention. Renderings and finishes can make a strong first impression, but location, design, and the experience of the neighbourhood are what people live with every day.

Looking Ahead

BAZIS has a longstanding interest in creating homes in well-connected Toronto neighbourhoods. At Mount Pleasant and Eglinton, our proposal reflects the potential we see in a location that offers both local character and access to the wider city.

As the plans develop, we look forward to sharing more about our vision for this part of Midtown Toronto.
