Condo of the Week: $2.8 million for a downtown suite at the Shangri-La
Address: 180 University Avenue, Unit 5001 Neighbourhood: Financial District Agent: Iouri Tchoumak, Re/Max West Realty Inc., Brokerage Price: $2,800,000
The place
A two-bedroom condo with two ensuite bathrooms and sweeping city views.
The history
The unit is in the Shangri-La hotel, which was built in 2012 and has since become a hotspot for film fest visitors and gastronomes (Momofuku is located in the tower’s podium). The seller bought the suite from the builder in 2013.
The living area has a fireplace:

Big selling point
If you’re not using the amenities, you’re doing it wrong. The building has a 24-hour fitness centre, a yoga studio, a concierge, a pool, a spa and maid service.
Possible deal breaker
The downside of all those amenities: the monthly maintenance fees are steep, and they don’t include hydro. In a suite like this, with three bathrooms and plenty of space to spare, maybe a couple of high-earning financial workers could split the cost.
By the numbers
• $1,850.08 in monthly maintenance fees • 1,829 square feet • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms • 2 parking spaces
