The place
A one-plus-one glass box on the waterfront that’s within walking distance of the island airport, the ferry terminal and the Queens Quay streetcar station. The complex itself is 16 storeys and has a gym, a grocery store, a meeting room and a party room all on the main floor. There’s also Little Norway Park right across the street.
The history
Since its construction in 2000, the condo building known as the Atrium has been a hit with airline industry workers thanks to its proximity to Billy Bishop. This unit on the 11th floor belonged to a flight attendant for 13 years, says realtor Elena Saradidis. Now that the owner is moving to a new city, the home is ready for a new suitor. Saradidis expects this unit to attract the jet set, but its versatile layout and neighbourhood amenities make it a draw for all sorts. “This place can work for down-sizers who travel in and out of Toronto for the winters or simply someone who wants great views of the water,” she says.
The tour

The building sits on the bustling corner of Bathurst and Queens Quay. Area residents, City School students, tourists and commuters all add to the waterfront buzz.

This view shows off the grand scale and glass ceiling. Having the units look upon one another over the central lobby is meant to add a sense of community.
