Hanging out in Toronto's Harbourfront Area

Podcast

When I first started in condos back in 1980, my first development was the Queen’s Quay Residences being developed by Canada’s then infamous Reichmann Family. The place was a ghost town!

Over the past almost 30 years a lot of things have changed in the city and nowhere more greater than on Toronto’s harbourfront. Located right in the heart of Downtown Toronto the Queen’s Quay between Yonge St. to just west of Bathurst St. is now one of the sought after residential areas in the city. Today, high priced residential development is being introduced along the eastern coridor of the Quay with projects like Pier 27.

Harbourfront is one of Toronto’s major four season tourist attractions and provides transportation to the Islands and to the Harbourfront Centre. The centerfold of the Harbourfront is still the Queens Quay Terminal which was a former warehouse transformed into a building for a shopping centre for high-end retailers, commercial offices and Queen’s Quay Residences above.

Today there is an abundance of restaurants, grocery stores, bars and the city has literally bridge the historic gap between the harbour and the city. Other quality residential condos in the area include King’s Landing, Waterclub I, II, III, 1 York Quay, 33 Harbour Square, Southbeach town homes.

At the very west end of the Queen’s Quay you find Tip Top Lofts and just above the harbour you’ll find City place

(Entertainment District) where you can find cost competitive units
with great lake views (many better than units along the Queen’s Quay). Good harbour views are also found in the St. Lawrence Market District.
