The Residences at Bluffers Park, a new development by Skale Developments and Diamante Development, is set to reshape Toronto’s Scarborough Bluffs area. This master-planned luxury community combines architectural sophistication, resort-style amenities, and a highly desirable lakeside location, creating a compelling opportunity in a rapidly growing neighbourhood.
Location and Accessibility: Urban Convenience, a Village Vibe, and a Wealth of Natural Beauty
Located on Kingston Road, Residences at Bluffers Park offers a prime position in Scarborough. The Scarborough Bluffs, one of Toronto’s most iconic natural attractions, are just a short walk or bike ride away, providing access to beaches, trails, and parks. This proximity to nature is complemented by urban conveniences, with shops, restaurants, schools, and other amenities nearby.
Connectivity is a key highlight, with Kingston Road serving as a gateway to downtown Toronto and beyond. The development is also well supported by public transit, with the 12 Kingston Road bus providing easy access to the TTC network. For those commuting to the city center, the nearby Scarborough GO station ensures swift transit options. Furthermore, future infrastructure improvements, including the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Kennedy Station LRT, promise enhanced accessibility and a boost to the local real estate market.
Design and Architecture
The architectural vision for Residences at Bluffers Park has been crafted by Turner Fleischer Architects, known for their ability to balance modern design with contextual harmony. Rising 23 and 13 stories respectively, the two towers reflect contemporary elegance while respecting the area’s historical and natural context.
The interiors, designed by TACT Design Inc., focus on curvilinear forms and a palette of soft, warm tones with natural accents. The combination creates a sense of comfort and luxury, starting from the inviting lobbies to the individual suites.
With unit sizes ranging from 430 to 1,082 square feet and configurations from one to three bedrooms, the residences cater to diverse lifestyle needs, including families seeking larger spaces.
Resort-Style Amenities
The plans for the Residences at Bluffers Park promise an amenity-rich lifestyle. The buildings feature thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including private playgrounds, a dog run, green gardens, and BBQ dining areas. A key feature is the 8th-floor rooftop terrace, with sweeping views of Lake Ontario, the surrounding greenery, and Toronto’s skyline.
Indoor amenities include a full-time concierge, a gym with stretching areas, saunas, and a co-working space with private meeting rooms. Residents can also enjoy a media room, games room, and private business center. Families will appreciate the dedicated kids’ playroom, while pet owners will benefit from the pet spa.
Innovative features like a community messaging app and digital booking systems for shared spaces enhance convenience. The inclusion of smart parcel storage ensures efficient package handling, a critical consideration for modern urban living.
Sustainability
Sustainability is prioritized through innovative features designed to reduce the community’s carbon footprint. Rainwater harvesting supports irrigation for the landscaped grounds, while green roofs improve energy efficiency and contribute to a cooler urban environment. Native drought-tolerant plants, pollinator species, and large canopy trees enhance biodiversity and align with Toronto’s tree canopy coverage goals.
For environmentally conscious residents, the availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations reflects the growing demand for sustainable transportation solutions. High solar reflectance paving mitigates the Urban Heat Island Effect, further showcasing the developers’ commitment to meaningful sustainability.
The Future of the Neighbourhood
Scarborough is undergoing significant transformation, with the City of Toronto envisioning a denser, transit-oriented, and pedestrian-friendly urban center. The Scarborough Subway Extension, which will extend Line 2 nearly eight kilometres into the area, is expected to catalyze substantial population growth and infrastructure development.
As the region evolves, Residences at Bluffers Park is poised to benefit from increased connectivity, expanded retail offerings, and enhanced public spaces.
Luxury Suites
Suites at Residences at Bluffers Park start at $517,000, with designs emphasizing both style and functionality. High-end finishes include laminate flooring, quartz countertops, and contemporary cabinetry. Kitchens come equipped with stainless steel appliances and soft-close cabinetry, while bathrooms feature modern glass shower panels and energy-efficient fixtures.
Each suite includes smooth ceilings, expansive windows, and private outdoor spaces such as balconies or terraces. Smart technology, including virtual keys for guest access and pre-wired connections for high-speed internet, ensures modern convenience. The inclusion of individual hydro and water meters allows for precise utility management.
