Jonny Phun · October 27, 2024
Welcome to Encore at Bravo – the latest and most exciting addition to Vaughan’s Festival South VMC (Vaughan Metropolitan Centre).
This high-rise development is part of Canada's best-selling condominium community and represents the final chapter of Bravo at Festival, an exceptional project by Menkes and QuadReal.
The Encore at Bravo stands tall as an iconic 58-storey marvel of modern architecture designed by the esteemed Turner Fleischer. It offers a vibrant lifestyle in the heart of one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities.
A Marvel of Architecture
The Encore at Bravo boasts a unique architectural design with slender curves and faceted balconies that wrap around every floor.
This impressive structure defines modern urban living and seamlessly integrates into the rapidly evolving Vaughan skyline.
As the tallest of the three Bravo towers—East, West, and South—the South Tower of Encore at Bravo offers 672 suites (58 stories) and has an occupancy date set for the first quarter of 2029.
Prime Location at the Heart of Vaughan
Located in the booming South VMC, Encore is perfectly positioned for those who value convenience and connectivity.
With the ultra-modern VMC subway station just a short walk away, residents can easily access Toronto's Union Station within 40 minutes.
The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre is not only a transit hub with connections to TTC, Viva, ZUM, York Regional Transit buses, and GO Transit but also a gateway to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

An Investment in Vaughan’s Future
The City of Vaughan is on a fast track to becoming a global city, and South VMC is at the heart of this transformation.
Vaughan is expected to see 30% population growth over the next decade, turning it from a suburban area into a world-class urban centre.
The city is home to prestigious institutions such as York University, which is only a six-minute subway ride from the VMC station. Thanks to a significant $47.2 million investment by the Ontario government, Vaughan is also set to welcome two new elementary schools.
Vaughan’s economic growth is equally impressive. Between 2015 and 2020, over $9 billion in investment was attracted to its downtown area, making Vaughan the largest employment centre in the York Region. High-profile corporations and tech companies are relocating their headquarters to Vaughan, contributing to the city's rapid development.
