The history

The unit is on the 24th floor of the Quantum 2 North tower, which was built in 2008. It’s sub-leased by a company that decorates unfurnished units and then rents them out, often on a short-term basis. The current tenant moves out at the end of April.

Possible deal breaker

Some apartment hunters might turn up their noses at the idea of living north of Bloor—but this location is actually, in some ways, more convenient than downtown. The local supermarket and LCBO are a five-minute walk away, and Eglinton subway station is right across the street.
