Spring/Summer Newsletter 2025

July 15, 2025

Things are in “full bloom” at Menkes – Construction is progressing well on our upcoming developments, and future projects are sizzling behind the scenes. Here is more on that front, as well as other exciting accomplishments that we’re proud to share.

Introducing Adagio’s Lobby: A Dance Through Time
Our team is excited to show off the spectacular lobby at Adagio, nested in the heart of Yorkville and inspired by the rich history of the 148-old building at 771 Yonge Street. From 1930 to 1945, this address was home to the studio of Boris Volkoff — known as the father of Canadian ballet — who trained generations of dancers, co-founded the National Ballet of Canada, and collaborated with the Canadian Opera Company. Designed as a modern and elegant retreat, Adagio pays tribute to this distinguished legacy. Follow along on our socials for more photos of Adagio’s stunning amenities.

The Whitfield Has Topped Off
The Whitfield at the corner of Front and Sherbourne has officially topped-off! The “topping off” is a major milestone in the construction progress, signifying the completion of the building’s exterior structural framework. The Whitfield broke ground in early 2022 after selling-out in a record-breaking 4 months. With its iconic wave-inspired architecture and bold red fins—a nod to the area's industrial heritage—The Whitfield brings a distinctive presence to one of the city's most vibrant neighbourhoods. Congratulations to all hard-working teams involved on this exciting milestone!

The Celebration Continues – Bravo Reaches Grade
Because life is always a celebration in South VMC, Bravo at Festival has officially reached grade! This milestone marks the start of above-grade activity of the East Tower in Bravo, a three-tower community consisting of 32, 41, and 51 storeys. The first two towers – East and West – at Bravo launched last summer and were one of the GTA’s most successful pre-construction condo launches in 2023. Those towers are now 80% sold, and sales for the third and final tower in the project, the South Tower known as Encore, is selling now!
