With views of the leafy Highland Creek ravine, the centrepiece of Scarborough’s Colonel Danforth Park, Perch Condos will appeal to property-seekers looking to get back to nature. But unlike other scenic builds, the Firmland Developments project is giving back to nature, too.
The builder is dedicating nearly 40 per cent of Perch’s property to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), which protects the ravine, says Firmland president Michoel Klugmann. “We are proud to contribute to conservation, and to help ensure that the building stays in touch with nature forever.”
