The Legacy
Thirty years in Summerhill
For more than three decades, Woodcliffe Landmark Properties has been quietly shaping Summerhill, restoring its landmarks, tending its streetscape and helping it become one of Toronto's most coveted addresses. The Summerhill is the natural next chapter: a residence conceived by the people who know this neighbourhood best.
“We thought about the homes and lifestyle people already loved in Summerhill and challenged ourselves to create a place that is equally gracious and livable within a boutique residential building. Every decision was made with the same care and consideration we would expect in our own homes.”
Then
Today
The Shops of Summerhill
Originally constructed in 1892, The Shops of Summerhill were carefully restored and expanded by Woodcliffe, preserving the historic character of one of the neighbourhood's most enduring retail destinations. Today, heritage architecture and contemporary additions hold a remarkable collection of premier storefronts.
Before
Restored
North Toronto Station
Woodcliffe's meticulous restoration of the 1916 Beaux Arts station began in 2000. Plaster ceilings, arched windows and marble walls were uncovered and painstakingly restored, returning a civic landmark to the neighbourhood as the Summerhill LCBO.
“Woodcliffe's work helped shape the evolution of Summerhill into one of Toronto's most desirable neighbourhoods. Through that experience, we developed a deep understanding of what makes this community special and how thoughtful development can enhance its long term appeal.”

The Design
Design by inches.
“Design by inches” began as a deeply held personal philosophy of Eve Lewis, CEO of Woodcliffe, and became the guiding principle shared by every collaborator behind The Summerhill. Nothing is incidental. Every proportion, threshold and sightline has been considered, then considered again.
Sixty-two residences, shaped for living
The Peter Clewes designed architecture speaks more to privacy than prominence. Within, the residences are exceptionally wide and shallow, drawing daylight deep into every room and giving each home the generous frontage of a private house rather than a corridor of rooms.
Kitchens are composed in custom full-height oak cabinetry, with natural stone counters and backsplash, oversized waterfall islands and fully integrated Gaggenau appliances.

- Uninterrupted ceilings of 10 feet or higher, with floor-to-ceiling glass
- Exceptionally wide, shallow plans; nearly all corner homes
- Custom full-height oak cabinetry and natural stone
- Integrated Gaggenau appliances
- Furnishable terraces with gas and water, staggered and recessed for privacy
“Maximizing the livability of the homes influenced every design decision. We ensured gracious proportions, outdoor space, ample storage, and functional flow in every suite.”
The Views
Above the canopy
Woodcliffe chose to begin the residential offering on the 7th floor, where the sightline clears the surrounding buildings. The result: nearly every residence is a corner home, with unobstructed views across the neighbourhood and the city beyond.
Seen from within, Summerhill becomes a living landscape: treetops in every season, historic rooftops, and the skyline drawn across floor-to-ceiling glass.

Amenities
Enriching the resident lifestyle
Scaled to feel like an extension of home, never a hotel, the amenities give residents room to gather, restore and unwind, each one opening toward a landscaped garden in the trees.
The residents' floors
Fitness Studio
Free weights, state-of-the-art cardio and ample room to stretch, in a bright, richly textured space overlooking the landscaped terrace garden.
Yoga Studio
A calm, light-filled room for practice and stretching, connected directly to the 5th floor garden.
The Lounge
A welcoming setting for entertaining and conversation, extending the footprint of each home for the moments that call for more room.
The Sauna
Warm timber and quiet. A place to restore after a session in the studio, or simply to slow the day down.
The Garden, by CCxA
A private backyard, five floors up
Landscape architects CCxA have conceived the 5th floor terrace garden as the lush, well-tended backyard of a private home. Native plantings shift with the seasons, and lounge seating beneath the trees invites long conversations or a quiet moment in the shade.
Service
An unimpeachable standard of care
The service ethos of The Summerhill carries a quiet confidence: intuitive, discreet and deeply personal. Staff are hired and trained by Charles MacPherson, widely regarded as the global authority on household and hospitality management.
The aim is anticipatory service that never feels performative, the kind usually reserved for the world's finest private residences.
“Our staff will be trained at the highest levels, like in the best private residences in the world. It's about taking care of people, it's about being of service.”
Neighbourhood
Established and evolving
Sophisticated and down to earth. Summerhill and Rosedale are inherently walkable, known for sprawling green spaces, independent boutiques and one of the city's most engaging culinary scenes, all beneath a canopy of mature trees.
On foot
Everything, a short walk away
The Shops of Summerhill, the Summerhill LCBO, David A. Balfour Park and the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club sit within an easy stroll, with Yonge Street's restaurants and the boutiques of Rosedale close at hand.
