cover story 31 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, April 10, 2009 SIOBHAN EVANS editor Kitchens at The Shores offer the very best of appliances as well as natural stone countertops. Almost every suite has stunning views of the lake's blue-green waters and surrounding marina. Intimate series of lakeview suites released at The Shores OAKVILLE (April 6, 2009) ­ Oakville's critically acclaimed waterfront condominium The Shores, has responded to heavy buyer demand by creating a new series of smaller, more intimate luxury suites ­ all with magnificent lake views. "We were literally inundated with calls asking if we could include scaled down versions of our larger suites," says Danny Salvatore, president of Fernbrook Homes, a partner in The Shores with Cityzen Development Group. "These prospective buyers wanted suites that included all the fine details, quality and superb finishes of the large two bedroom and two plus den suites but on a more intimate scale. "Their requests made perfect sense so this month we introduced a wonderful new range of choices at The Shores: One bedroom, one-plus-den and small corner two-bedroom suites, all of which overlook the lake." The suites come in a quartet of options: One-bedroom suites starting at 606 square feet; ones plus a den at 707 square feet and two-bedroom corner suites, which top out at 855 square feet. Prices start at $404,900 and range up to the mid-$500,000s. "These new suites are absolutely perfect for professional singles or couples of any age," Mr.Salvatore says. "What they also show is that in a global market deeply troubled by economic worries, a superbly designed, lovingly built project in an incomparable location will always be in great demand." The enormous appeal of The Shores starts with its site. The Shores is Oakville's only true waterfront project, overlooking the mouth of the Bronte Creek marina. Its superb views and expansive terraces offer a distinctly Mediterranean look and feel. Designed by architects Page + Steele and with interiors by Brian Gluckstein, one of the city's most talented and celebrated designers, The Shores tops any previously accepted standards for waterfront luxury. The 10-storey terraced mid-rise offers just over 200 suites and almost every one has stunning views of the lake's blue-green waters and surrounding marinas and shoreline. The lobby sets the tone and gives a hint of the pleasures that lie within. Its centerpiece is a sweeping circular staircase leading up to the second floor and its stellar amenities. There will be a comfortable party room, a warmly inviting wine-tasting room and adjoining wine cellar, a soothing spa and private theatre, complete with surround sound. For sunny days there is a sparkling rooftop swimming pool with panoramic views of the lake and a lush rooftop garden in the sky. Brian Gluckstein's signature touch elevates the suites' features and finishes into the stratosphere of great design. Kitchens offer the very best of appliances as well as natural stone countertops. There are hardwood floors throughout or for those who prefer a warmer, gentler feel and look, 50-ounce wool carpeting in the bedrooms. At The Shores, an elegant designer collection suite is just the overture for a richly rewarding lifestyle. Bronte and Old Oakville offer one of the most varied menus of diversions in southern Ontario. Tree-shaded streets echo with history and are lined with beautifully maintained century old homes. There are restaurants and bistros, boutiques and specialty shops to match anything the big city offers. And, there is the marina where elegant sailboats are emerging now that the warmer days are upon us. Oakville is a living reminder of days when life was lived at a more leisurely pace. The overall feeling is akin to life on the Croisette in Cannes or in the charming villages that dot the Cote d'Azure where those lucky enough to own properties can pass the time basking in the warmth of the sun, enchanted by the ever changing views of water, sky and sea.
