Overview
University Plaza is a solid option if you're looking for a downtown Toronto condo for sale in this part of Queen West. Your neighbours are glitzy, high-end and sometimes pretty expensive. You can share their fantastic location in a stylish, well-appointed building with some great amenities - just minus the over the top luxury features.
Suites range from one- to two-bedroom plus den and are spacious with quality finishes like granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. You'll find the common areas, including the theatre and party room, have been recently updated to include little extras like plush seating, billiards and a foosball table, and the whole building is well maintained.
Most Notable Features
Rooftop Space: There is an impressive terrace on the 17th storey for residents boasting a distinctive indoor/outdoor space, a waterfall and two bbqs as well as fantastic city views. Not only that, you also have a jogging track for when you'd like to add some outdoor cardio to your routine in the on-site fitness centre.
Convenience: Well yes, that's why you chose to look in Queen West, but University Plaza has handy retail right on the ground level. Pick up your outfit and dinner at JC Mart Sushi & Dry Cleaner and then maybe some flowers for your special someone. And of course, you've always got time for Tim Hortons.
