The history

A designer who works in advertising bought this five-year-old unit two years ago. (The artwork shown here isn’t what he normally hangs. He brought it in to help show off the gallery-like space.)

Big selling point

Despite being at a high-density corner, this west-facing unit’s view isn’t blocked by another tower. The owner can enjoy sunsets through the 20-foot wall of windows:

Possible deal breaker

The unit doesn’t come with a parking space, and the King streetcar can be torturous, so the buyer may need to rent a spot from a neighbour (or get friendly with their local Uber drivers).
