Nestled within an area between High Park and Lake Ontario, Mirabella Condominiums combines urban living within one of the most natural settings in Toronto and is Mirabella Development’s latest building. Mirabella, composed of two 38-storey towers connected by a 10-storey podium, provides 724 units, over 20,000 sq.ft. of indoor amenity space and almost 18,000 sq.ft. of outdoor amenity space, making it one of the largest residential buildings in Toronto.

Mirabella has achieved the voluntary Tier 2 level of the Toronto Green Standards Version 2 and is registered under the LEED® green building rating system with a goal of LEED® Gold.  Achieving both of these certifications requires the building to implement numerous environmental initiatives in order to optimize energy performance and to minimize our environmental footprint well beyond what is a standard.

Mirabella also features “motion in air (ma)”, one of the largest installations of public art in Toronto, if not Canada, on a private sector project. The artwork, which spans the length of a football field, is made up of over 500 recyclable aluminum panels which have been installed across and directly on the north façade of the podium. This beautiful installation is seen by over 150,000 people per day travelling along the Gardiner Expressway and by GO train and perfectly integrates with the building’s design and natural surroundings, celebrating and enhancing the environment while using durable, eco-friendly materials

Julie Di Lorenzo has been self-employed since 1982 and operates one of the largest female run Real Estate Development Companies in North America.

Coming from a long family history of Italian construction professionals in North America, her grandfather immigrated from Italy to New York City in the early 1900s, helping erect some of the early foundations and structures of the city, while her father, Nick Di Lorenzo, was a dominant contractor and innovator in Toronto in the 1960’s and 70’s, inventing the “flying form” method of high-rise construction and bringing over the tall cranes from Europe that made it possible.

Starting out as a 16-year old girl delivering boxes of nails, plans and materials to concrete formwork sites, Julie Di Lorenzo has been part of our industry for over 40 years as an entrepreneur, real estate developer, and city builder, while simultaneously devoting her time and leadership towards innovating, improving, and supporting our communities.

Through Julie’s incredible leadership, Mirabella has become one of the largest female-run development companies in North America, where she has consistently embraced and pushed through multiple recessions, challenging development sites, and opposition in order to bring incredible landmark projects to life.

Julie has served on the boards of the Ontario Science Centre, Harbourfront Toronto, Tarion (Ontario New Home Warranties Plan (ONHWP)), St. Michael’s Hospital, NEXT36, Waterfront Toronto, Chair of Investment and Real Estate (IREC) Committee of Waterfront Toronto, Havergal College (Board and Co-Chair of Facilities), York School (Board and interim Vice-Chair), and Canadian Civil Liberties Association Board, and recently the Pontifical Institute.
