Get My Free Estimate →Dwell City Towns, at 3–35 Applewood Lane with addresses also at 2 Holiday Drive and 7 Applewood Lane, is a Menkes townhome community of roughly 196 homes near The West Mall and Holiday Drive.
Menkes as developer is the best-confirmed attribution of any building in this part of Etobicoke — three independent sources agree. The community deliberately mixes one-, two- and three-level homes in three named collections, which is genuinely useful to know and also explains why published storey counts for it contradict each other.
Three collections, one corporation
The original sales material describes three product types within the community:
| Urbana | One- and two-level homes, roughly 643–949 sq ft |
| Metreo | Two-storey homes, roughly 1,071–1,287 sq ft |
| Habitat | Three-level homes, from about 1,506 sq ft |
That mix is the reason one source calls this a three-storey complex and another says two: both are describing real homes within it. If you are comparing listings here, check which collection a unit belongs to before comparing price per square foot — they are effectively three different products sharing one corporation.
What is confirmed, and what conflicts
Developer: Menkes Developments, confirmed by three independent sources including 2013 launch coverage. This matters more than it sounds — most of the townhouse corporations in this part of Etobicoke have no verifiable developer at all.
The corporation is TSCC 2680, corroborated by two sources rather than one — again unusually good for this area. Being a TSCC standard condominium with underground parking and shared common elements, it is not a freehold or common-elements arrangement. Nadlan-Harris Property Management is named as manager by one source.
Year: two sources say 2018, one says completed 2017. Marketing coverage dates the sales launch to November 2013.
Units: one source says 196; another says 196 in its prose but 148 in its own data table.
Suite sizes: 643–1,663 sq ft from two sources; 649–1,800 from a third.
None of these is resolvable from public sources. All are answerable from the status certificate and the registered declaration.
Parking
Secure underground parking with bicycle spaces, plus bike storage and visitor parking. These are not homes with private driveways and attached garages. That is a meaningful distinction for anyone moving from a house, or anyone with two vehicles — confirm exactly how many parking units come with the specific home, and whether they are owned or exclusive-use common elements.
The neighbourhood
Etobicoke West Mall, near The West Mall and Holiday Drive, north of Burnhamthorpe and close to Highway 427. Sources name Wedgewood Junior Public School, Millwood Junior School and Olivet School in the area, along with Broadacres Park and Capri Park, and the Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery. Sales material cited Sherway Gardens, Centennial Park and Cloverdale Mall.
Note the school names are drawn from a listings database’s proximity data. School boundaries change, and proximity is not the same as attendance eligibility. If schools drive your decision, confirm the current catchment directly with the TDSB or TCDSB.
What I could not verify
- The architect. No source names one.
- Whether the built year is 2017 or 2018.
- The true unit count — 148 or 196.
- Any published litigation, special assessment or major repair.
The takeaway
Dwell City Towns is the newest and best-documented townhome community in this pocket of Etobicoke, from a builder whose name is actually verifiable, with a genuinely useful mix of home sizes from about 640 square feet up past 1,500. Two things to nail down before offering: which of the three collections the home belongs to, since that drives everything about the comparison, and exactly what parking is included, because this is underground shared parking rather than a driveway and garage.

Frequently asked questions
Who built Dwell City Towns?
Menkes Developments. Three independent sources confirm it, including 2013 sales launch coverage — a stronger attribution than almost any other townhome corporation in this part of Etobicoke.
How many homes are in Dwell City Towns?
Sources conflict. One says 196; another says 196 in its prose but 148 in its own data table. The registered declaration and status certificate are the authoritative answer.
What are the Urbana, Metreo and Habitat collections?
They are the three home types within the community: Urbana at roughly 643–949 square feet over one or two levels, Metreo two-storey homes at about 1,071–1,287, and Habitat three-level homes from around 1,506 square feet. Compare listings within a collection, not across them.
Do Dwell City Towns homes have private garages?
No. Parking is secure underground with bicycle spaces, plus bike storage and visitor parking. Confirm how many parking units come with a specific home and whether they are owned units or exclusive-use common elements.
What is the condominium corporation number for Dwell City Towns?
TSCC 2680, corroborated by two sources — better sourcing than most buildings in the area. It is a standard condominium, not a freehold or common-elements corporation.
When was Dwell City Towns built?
Sources give 2017 or 2018 for completion, with the sales launch dated November 2013. The registration date on the status certificate settles it.
