Pier 27 is the building people point at from the island ferry. This is one of its larger suites, and at 1,264 square feet it behaves like a home rather than a place to park a mattress and a coffee machine. The water is the point. Glass floor to ceiling, and custom herringbone brushed oak flooring throughout (ceramic tiles in baths). Den is large enough for a third bedroom, but performs much better as an office/den. P1 Parking included & 3 lockers. Harbourfront and Sugar Beaach close enough that you stop calling them a novelty.The building handles the rest: 24-hour concierge, an outdoor (and indoor) pool you will use more than you would admit, a gym with no commute and therefore no excuse. Large Theatre, party room, co-working space, outdoor dining, fountain seating. Outside is the civilized end of downtown. St. Lawrence Market for the groceries (or one of the two Farm Boys if you feel like something 10 steps away. The Martin Goodman Trail for the run you keep scheduling. More City Bikes than you would ever need. Union Station on foot when the city wants you, the Gardiner on wheels when it does not (P1 prime parking including in sale). Loblaws and the LCBO are neighbours, which is either convenient or a problem depending on the week. Newly build Queens Quay East park with pickle ball courts, enclosed dog park with wood chip surface. This is waterfront people live on, not the kind they visit and photograph. Room enough for two adults to share an address without sharing every square foot. A building that stopped trying to prove anything years ago and simply works. Come see it. The lake makes a strong first impression. (id:58180)
