In fact, for many staff, it’s the diverse nature of the job that keeps them energized each day.

Medical Stays in Toronto: What You Need to Know

July 20, 2024

If you are traveling for medical treatment – it can be a stressful experience.

Unlike traveling for a vacation, when you travel for medical stays in Toronto you may need to stay for awhile and you may be in some state of discomfort. This is why having a comfortable place to say is so important.

The short term, furnished apartments at The Livmore provide a convenient environment where you can rest and feel at home – which will help aid you in your recovery during medical stays in Toronto.

Toronto’s Medical System

Canada has a publicly funded, private provided healthcare system. Public Health Insurance is handled at a provincial level and when you go to see a doctor, it is covered by the taxes you pay.

This health-care system has an excellent reputation around the world and many international tourists visit to seek out treatment in high quality private clinics. In addition to the many robust public health facilities in Toronto, there are also a collection of high end clinics that offer treatment from doctors and specialist staff. (Here’s a guide to the best and worst hospitals in Toronto, from local website blogTO.)

Whether you’re coming to Toronto for a necessary operation, an examination or a cosmetic procedure, you’ll find the medical care in this city top notch.

Priorities for Your Medical Stay

When it comes to planning for a medical-related trip to Toronto, the following considerations will need your attention:

Cutting Down on Expenses

Medical treatments are a large expense, so anything you can do to save money in other departments is desirable. A short term rental offers better value compared to a hotel, so you can cut costs here.

Cooking For Yourself

When you are recovering from a surgery or an illness, you might need to adjust your diet. Also, you might not feel like dining out in a restaurant every night. Having your own kitchen allows you to prepare the food that suits your needs – in the privacy of your home away from home.

A Home-Like Atmosphere

It’s hard to relax fully in a hotel room, as it doesn’t give you the feeling of being at home.

Longer-Term Stay Options

Chances are, if you are visiting Toronto for medical reasons, you might need to stay for awhile as you recover. Furnished apartments offer longer term rental options, so you can take your time.

Necessary Medications

Make sure that you have a prescription for all medications that you will need to carry you through the duration of your stay – including painkillers and antibiotics. If you need to stock up, there are many pharmacies located nearby in downtown Toronto.

Friends and Family

Recovering from an operation or an illness is much easier when you have loved ones around to support you. Staying in a furnished apartment with multiple bedrooms allows you to bring companions along who can assist.

Elevate Your Extended Stay from Hotel Stays: Discover Furnished Apartments in Toronto

July 17, 2024
furnished rentals

Out with the uncomfortable and in with the unforgettable. It’s time to reconsider your accommodation choices and move beyond the standard hotels.

Recent reports of Airbnb scams and hidden hotel fees have made these options less appealing, with some travellers falling victim to misleading listings and unexpected charges.

Why not opt for a more comfortable and reliable alternative? Furnished rentals, like those offered by DelSuites, provide a luxurious home away from home experience. 

Enjoy the comforts of home combined with the convenience and luxury of a high-end stay, all while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional accommodations. Make your next trip to Toronto truly memorable by choosing a furnished rental that meets all your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Here’s everything you need to know about the joys of a luxurious rental stay!

Where you stay can make all the difference when planning a trip. Furnished rentals offer a wide range of benefits that can enhance your travel experience, making them a smart choice over conventional hotels.

  • Comfort and Space: Furnished rentals provide the comfort of a home with separate living areas, bedrooms, and fully equipped kitchens. Unlike cramped hotel rooms, these rentals offer ample space to relax and unwind, making them ideal for longer business stays or when travelling with family.
  • Cost-Effective: While hotels can be pricey (especially when factoring in meals and amenities), furnished rentals often include everything you need at a more affordable rate. You can save money by cooking your own meals and enjoying the conveniences of a home-like setting without additional charges.
  • Consistency and Quality: Furnished rentals ensure a high standard of cleanliness, comfort, and reliability. You know what to expect every time you book.
  • Amenities Included: Furnished rentals often come with a range of amenities. These all-inclusive options provide added convenience and value, allowing you to settle in quickly and comfortably.
  • Privacy and Independence: Enjoy the privacy of your own space without the interruptions common in hotels. With a furnished rental, you have the freedom to come and go as you please, entertain guests, and live more like a local.
  • Ideal Locations: Many furnished rentals are located in residential neighbourhoods, offering a more authentic experience of the city. You can explore local shops, cafes, and parks, getting a true feel for the area while being close to major attractions.

Furnished rentals let you live within a thriving community – with the space, amenities, and quality you need for a stress-free and enjoyable stay.

Top 5 Favourite Bars for Craft Beer in Toronto

July 7, 2024

Craft beer is big business in Toronto. According to the Ontario Craft Brewers Association, “there are currently over 100 craft breweries in Ontario employing over 1,000 people in direct brewery jobs across the province. This represents over 30 per cent of the direct brewery jobs in Ontario.”

Now that grocery stores will now have the opportunity to sell beer and wine, this will not replace your visit to your local bar to taste test brews. If you don’t want to stay in your furnished suite or apartment to drink, here are our favourite places in Toronto for this niche experience.

1. Bellwoods Brewery. The popular indie brewery on Ossington Ave–with its white picket fence and prime people-watching patio– is listed as one of the 100 best breweries in the world by Rate Beer. Sip and savour on IPAs, stouts, single hop series, Belgian saisons, and a variety of ales. There’s a good selection of charcuterie to nibble alongside your pints. The brewery is dealing with its line-ups with a next door bottle shop (you’ll also want to save those beautiful labels for your home collection) and are opening a new location at Dupont and Dovercourt. Currently, you can quench your thirst by participating in a spring guided tasting.

2. Bar Volo. Bar Volo is the craft beer bar that was ahead of the trend and now 25 years old. It’s a great centralCraft Beer in Toronto location if you are living in our downtown toronto apartments or North Toronto. The dim-lit, intimate, wooden space gets crowded early. It’s a casual process: look at the list on the walls for over 30 rotating regional beers on tap, casks, more than 75 international types of bottles, and a hectolitre nano brewery. You then find your own table, and order/pay at the bar. Though known for beer, there are two VQA wines served on tap, and over 60 bottles of bourbon and rye for non-hopheads. In the summer, there are DJ nights and during those times, cans of Howe Sound Lager is available for $5 (as previously stated on their site, last year).

3. Bar Hop. Located a short walk away from our 300 Front, Icon, and Element locations, Bar Hop is the ideal unpretentious after-work spot on King West. The bar has over 36 rotating taps plus tap takeovers, gluten-free beers and ciders, aCraft Beer in Torontond two casks. Special deals like Sunday Sessions ($5 for select craft beers); Mussel Mondays (2 pounds of mussels and fries for $9.95); and Buck-a-Shuck Tuesdays ($1 Oysters) make this a bustling place. Fret-not, a second location is in the works around Richmond and Peter.

4. Indie Ale House. If there is one reason to head over to the Junction, it’s for its noteworthy brewery. There’s a variety of beers here, including their speciality of bold ales. Peruse their menu for collaborations and their original brews with fun flavours and names like the Broken Hipster, Zombie Apocalypse, and the Breakfast Porter. Add a flavourful, varied menu of healthy options and bar staples with a twist; tours, and tastings, and you’ll never want to leave (unless you go here first and then dance the night away at 3030 down the street).

5. Amsterdam Brewery. Though it now feels like a tourist attraction due to its Harbourfront location, Amsterdam Brewery has bCraft Beer in Torontoeen in Toronto since 1986 and come a long way from its first location on John St. Now the brewery is a short walk away from our downtown toronto apartments. Amsterdam Brewery is known for its Boneshaker unfiltered IPA and has other original brews like the Sweetwater Squeeze Radler, the 416, and the all natural Blonde. Sip lakeside on a muskoka chair with an unparalleled view of Lake Ontario and the Toronto Islands. A bonus if you can’t grab a seat on the patio is that you can grab your favourite beer from their bottle shop, which is open 7 days a week until 11pm.

Honorable mentions go to some of Toronto’s newer breweries like the soon-to-open Left Field Brewery (which is hosting tastings and pop-ups to buy select bottles from time to time); East York’s new Muddy York brewery; and the established Granite Brewery at Eglinton and Mount Pleasant.

An Incredible 90 Years of Home Building with Tridel

June 19, 2024
90 years with Tridel

The strength of a home is measured not just in years but in the enduring quality of every brick and beam. Tridel, one of Toronto’s finest home building developers, has woven a legacy of excellence for over 90 years. It is a company defined by craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep-rooted commitment to community.

Picture yourself in a Tridel-built condominium, where each detail speaks of trusted quality and thoughtful design. From the foundation to the finishing touches, every element displays Tridel’s relentless pursuit of the highest quality.

So, come along and celebrate Tridel’s extraordinary years of home building with us! Take a stroll through the decades and learn firsthand how this remarkable company has shaped the landscape of Toronto with its unwavering focus on building homes that stand the test of time within its vibrant communities.

What Started It All

Tridel’s journey traces back to the vision of Jack DelZotto, whose craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for what would become a pioneering force in Toronto’s home building industry.

Arriving in Canada in 1927, Jack’s story began as a stone mason, but his aspirations soon led him to Toronto, where he built his first home. As the years passed, Jack’s passion for building beautifully designed homes grew, culminating in the formation of Tridel in the 1950s.

The ‘tri’ symbolizes the unity of Jack’s three sons – Angelo, Elvio, and Leo – who played integral roles in shaping the company’s direction.

In 1961, Tridel made a significant move, building its first apartment complex. This landmark development featured twin towers, each boasting 260 suites, alongside an array of recreational amenities, including a swimming pool and meticulously landscaped grounds.

This visionary project laid the groundwork for what would become the hallmark of Tridel’s building philosophy: the luxury condominium lifestyle.

Driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and community, Tridel’s journey from humble beginnings to industry leader continues to honour Jack’s pioneering spirit, as well as the dedication of all who have contributed.

Keeping the Quality Alive

Choosing a homebuilder requires peace of mind. With Tridel, that assurance is built into every step of the process – continuing to provide exceptional service from the beginning.

Tridel’s dedication to quality starts with rigorous inspections carried out by their staff, ensuring that each suite meets the highest standards of readiness.

But quality extends far beyond the surface level. Tridel’s partnerships with skilled trades and consultants, who share their strict standards, guarantee every aspect of your home, from cutting-edge design to structural integrity and fine finishing details, exceeds expectations. This meticulous attention to detail sets Tridel apart.

Yet Tridel’s dedication to quality doesn’t end with the physical construction – it understands that a true home should be the heart of a community. Because of this, they strive continuously to cultivate vibrant, healthy, and enduring neighbourhoods.

From exceptional customer service to their commitment to building thriving communities, Tridel’s pursuit of quality is woven into every facet of their work. 

Achieving Sustainability

The choices we make can ripple far into the future. With a proud track record of winning BILD’s Green Builder award 14 times, and many more accolades to its name, Tridel has cemented its reputation as a leader in sustainable development.

With over 25,000 green suites and counting, Tridel aims to conserve energy and set new standards for environmentally responsible living. From optimizing energy efficiency to minimizing waste, every decision is guided by the dedication to leaving a positive legacy for generations to come.

Sustainability efforts are a promise to homeowners and the planet. By confronting climate change challenges head-on, Tridel reshapes the future of high-rise living, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly. 

Roads Lead Back to the Community

Cultivating communities is a commitment Tridel takes seriously. Tridel’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Mission drives to go beyond traditional development practices. The aim is not only to achieve net-zero carbon emissions but also to promote health, inclusivity, and prosperity in every community located in their footprint.

The Social Impact team works hand in hand with local stakeholders to ensure developments seamlessly integrate into existing neighbourhoods. This extends not only to the homeowners but also to their employees.

At the heart of Tridel’s community-building efforts lies a people-first approach – one that prioritizes the well-being and futures of all residents. Whether it’s through community economic development initiatives or fostering employee engagement, Tridel strives to create better, brighter futures for everyone involved.

Moreover, this level of transparency and accountability makes certain that trust is maintained with all stakeholders. 

Promising Innovations

Innovation is woven into everything Tridel does. Their dedicated team continuously invests in new ideas, technologies, and practices to drive progress and create healthier, safer living spaces.

From initiatives focused on decarbonization to enhancing building resiliency, Tridel has pioneered solutions for modern condominium living. A key aspect of Tridel’s innovation strategy is piloting new methods, products, and technologies in demonstration suites. These initiatives allow them to thoroughly assess the impact on residents’ lifestyles before implementing them in future communities.

For example, Tridel embraces the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, which promotes sustainable building practices internationally. As a voluntary Toronto Green Standard Tier 2 member, Tridel surpasses mandated standards, integrating green and sustainable features throughout.

The benefits of these innovative approaches are tangible. LEED-certified buildings typically consume significantly less electricity, natural gas, and potable water compared to traditional structures, resulting in a more sustainable and cost-effective living environment for residents.

In addition, Tridel’s industry-wide collaboration makes it possible for their innovative findings to be applied on a large scale, generating environmental and social benefits.

Enjoy Unparalleled Tridel Quality with DelSuites

Tridel’s legacy stands tall throughout the Greater Toronto Area, with more than 90,000 homes delivered across diverse communities.
