Empire Plaza

Overview

Red granite and blue tinted glass make up the rounded facade of the Art Deco inspired Empire Plaza condos. These are the first Toronto condos built on University Avenue and the building has become a landmark. If you are looking for a distinguished downtown Toronto condo that is central to everything, safe, spacious and gorgeous to boot, feast your eyes on Empire Plaza. 

Most Notable Features

Suite Sizes and Layouts: The number of layouts available at Empire Plaza offers variety that may be missing from newer downtown condos for sale. The bowed front of the building creates architectural interest in the form of solariums and the layouts feature curves and angles instead of rectangular living areas, most suites are very spacious, too. In addition to the space between you and your neighbours, special attention was paid to acoustics during construction so you'll enjoy top-notch insulation from noise within the building and the bustle on the street. 

Convenience: Empire Plaza has an elevator that takes you directly to the underground parking, but there is so much in the area, and even right in the building, that you could do fine without a car. You can grab a bite to eat at one of three restaurants and then pop into the spa on site before you pick up your dry cleaning and step out for the night. 

Affordability: Make no mistake, these are well-designed, well- constructed, well-maintained downtown Toronto condos, but they boast among the lowest prices per square foot and the lowest maintenance fees in The Core. Great value for money.
