"The Vincennes" located at 35 Walmer Road in the Annex, a block north
of the Bloor/Spadina intersection, is just minutes away from the Spadina
subway station.
The late Harry Hiller and the late Edmond Hefner commissioned the renowned
architect, the late Uno Prii, who moved away from the typical block design
of the time to bring something different and unique to this building. In
a review published by Azure (Aug/Sep. 1991 issue), a cultural magazine, the design of
this medium high-rise was compared to that of a woman's skirt.
The prime location of this building allows you to take just a short walk
to such places as Casa Loma, University of Toronto, the ROM, Chinatown,
as well as a fabulous variety of restaurants and cafes in the Annex. At
the Vincennes our mission statement is "35 Walmer, a Pleasant Home for You".
