Casual Elegance in the Beach

The Beach has long been a sought after high value enclave of tranquility within the bustle of the City. At the quiet end of the Beach is Falling Brook, located on a rise of land commanding views of the lake to the south and parkland to the north, your answer to casual living in the Beach. Just steps away from the Boardwalk, parks, shopping streets, with excellent neighbourhood schools, well served by public transit, Falling Brook is the loft residence of choice for those who know the Beach.

Falling Brook's 43 terraced loft units cascade north and south to take full advantage of site topography and lake and park views. Paying homage to Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Falling Water residence, with natural rock facing, strong horizontal design elements, landscaping integrated with built form and extensive use of glass, Prairie School merges with the West Coast Style to create an architectural statement uniquely suited to the Beach.

All of the loft residences of Falling Brook feature expansive light filled volumes of space, with 10 foot ceiling heights on either one or two levels; and with upper level mezzanines overlooking 21 foot high atriums. All units walk out to large private roof terraces equipped with running water and gas barbeque connections. Green design elements as standard include individual high efficiency gas furnaces and central air conditioning, superior thermal and acoustical insulation, hot water on demand, gas ranges, LED and quartz halogen lighting.

Contemporary unit finishes, including natural gas fireplaces, engineered hardwood flooring or polished concrete floors, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances are but a few of the many features that make Falling Brook a unique benchmark for luxury loft living.
