L Tower
8 The Esplanade, Toronto
Overview
A modern designed skyscraper with Toronto condos for sale and for rent, L Tower has been heralded as ‘the pinnacle of 21st century living.’ The Daniel Libeskind design is certainly eye-catching and interesting. Finished in 2015, the sleek, smooth façade of glass and steel makes you marvel at the mere construction feat. Just north of the waterfront near Front Street and Yonge, L Tower stands down the street Union Station and Old Town.
But the Toronto condo is more than a flashy exterior, offering 600 units from one-bedroom to 2.5-bedrooms, 9-10 foot ceilings, large bright windows, an impressive list of amenities, and the appeal of the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood.
Most Notable Features
Business and pleasure: Located in the southwest tip of the St. Lawrence Market at the junction of an up-and-coming waterfront community and Toronto’s Financial District along the Bay Street corridor, L Tower is set for residents to mix business with pleasure. If you’re game to straddle the fence between the bustle of Toronto’s downtown core and the relaxing, calmer appeal of Toronto’s Old Town, this building is spot to consider.
Live and play at home: Fully finished to make condo living easy and enjoyable, L Tower also offers amenities to make condo life fun. A few that stick out are the library and reading room for the bookworm, the indoor lap pool to play and stay in shape, and the private cinema for the joy of going out while staying home.
Start, step and go: The convenient location of The Esplanade in term of travel and Toronto transit is really a benefit to note. Union Station TTC subway is two blocks away, there are buses along Wellington, and the King streetcar is within walking distance.
