A two-bedroom, two-bathroom corner unit steps from the Queens Quay boardwalk. The home is on the 22nd floor of the tower, so its views are unobstructed.

The tour

The foyer winds around the stacked washer-dryer unit en route to the open-concept space. There’s engineered hardwood flooring throughout.

Here’s the kitchen and living area. The appliances (cooktop, fridge, range hood, dishwasher) are all integrated, plus there’s an island with a microwave and an attached dining table.

An opposite angle shows off the corner floor-to-ceiling windows.

This nook is set up as an office.

Looking north, the second bedroom is through the door on the left, and you can see Regent Park way in the distance.

Another view of the living area.

The unobstructed view of the islands, Tommy Thompson Park and the revitalized Port Lands may be the property’s best feature.

Now, the main bedroom. It’s currently staged as a fitness space, but it can fit a king-sized bed.

It has its own corner window and sliding doors that walk out to a glass balcony.

Here’s what it’s like to stand on the balcony. Squint to see Scarborough.

This is the main ensuite bathroom.

The second bedroom also has a great view. Its ensuite is almost identical to that of the main bedroom.

Along with this rooftop infinity pool, amenities include a rec room, a gym with both a sauna and a steam room, a pilates studio, a co-working space, a party room, and a billiards room.

There’s also a 24-hour concierge and this leafy living wall in the lobby.

Finally, a view of the complex from the boardwalk—Safdie’s Tetris-like tribute to modernism on full display.
