  Both Luxe and Luxe II are characterized by sleek, contemporary exteriors with glass and pre-cast materials in cool metal tones. Interiors by renowned Bryon Patton of Patton & Associates are yet another reason why this condominium community has been so well received. Its North York location also accounts for major appeal , as residents will live close to the Finch subway station with TTC, GO Transit and Via York Region Rapid Transit connections. Nearby amenities include shopping, dining and entertainment venues.

  The penthouses are situated on the top two floors in both Luxe and Luxe II, and feature either a spacious terrace or balcony. Penthouses range from 720 to 1,00 sq. ft. in size and are available in two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den layouts. Prices range from $260,990 to $381,990.
