8 Temple Concierge Closet

8 Temple, Curated Properties, Chapi Chapo

Curated Properties prides itself on meticulous attention to detail when designing suite layouts that deliver functionality and innovation in equally high doses. The development team recognizes the value that well-designed storage options add to the experience of living in an urban condominium. Whether it’s a space for sports equipment, luggage, winter coats, or a stroller, in-suite storage for bulky, frequently used items is not often considered during the design process or contemplated by the buyer when purchasing a preconstruction suite. Security and convenience for weekday deliveries have also become highly valuable for today’s urban professionals, as evidenced by the proliferation of smart parcel lockers throughout the lobby spaces of most new condominium projects. The Curated Concierge Closet is the first of its kind in Toronto and aims to solve both problems. This unique layout option adds a second entry door to the suite to provide seamless access from the common corridor to the interior of an oversized entrance closet, complete with custom cabinetry and shelving. The corridor side of the Concierge Closet is equipped with a digital smart lock, which can be remotely programmed to grant one-time access codes to building staff and delivery personnel to facilitate convenient and contactless delivery of dry-cleaning and packages directly to the unit. A second lockable door leading from the concierge closet to the main living quarters can be locked from the main suite area, ensuring that security and privacy are maintained at all times.
