From our family to yours, I would like to welcome you to Ghods Builders’ newest residential development project, 5959 Yonge Street. Right in the heart of Yonge Street in North York. Our team of experts have spent well over two years preparing your new home. We have diligently worked on each and ever y unit layout and amenities space to maximize your use and enjoyment. Our team has traveled abroad to find some of the most unique designs and features. I do not believe in wasting an inch and appreciate this is one of your greatest and most significant investments. Each unit has its own layout characterizes and finishes to reflect your style. I truly stand by my belief that, if I won’t buy the unit myself, I can not sell it. Quality and value are two key concepts that we strive for when designing our suites and planning for the development. I invite you to explore your new home and await your arrival.
Best regards,
Ghasem Ghods
