Location & Neighbourhood
Condos in the Entertainment District are some of the most coveted, thanks to their ideal urban location and the exciting growth the area continues to undergo.
Mercer Street is one of the area’s most exciting stretches. An intimate side street stretching between major avenues, it’s about to be home to two luxury hotels, one of which is the infamous Nobu, representing the brand’s first foray into Canada. Plentiful bars, clubs and culinary hot-spots are just steps away, as well as the TIFF Bell Lightbox, headquarters for the Toronto International Film Festival.
Despite its modern growth and plentiful condominium towers, the neighbourhood holds a unique charm, thanks to its number of historic factory-style buildings. Once housing a sizable industrial population, many of these heritage structures have been restored into podiums for these condominium towers, for a mix of old and new architecture.
With the subway just a five-minute walk away and the city’s best retail and dining locations within close proximity, this is easily one of the most connected locations in the city. Scoring a Walk Score of 97 and a Transit Score of 100, this is a vibrant, urban location where almost everything is at your fingertips.
The growth here has been exponential over the past five years, earning the neighbourhood a designation as one of the city’s “urban growth centers,” a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. New condos continue to be built and proposed, including an ambitious project down the street that plans to add retail, office and art gallery space, along with teaching facilities for the Ontario College of Art and Design.
Thanks to its convenient transit access, many of Toronto’s major destinations are easy to get to, including The Financial District, Ryerson University and the city’s waterfront. A terrific place to invest and easily one of the city’s most exciting places to call home, this downtown neighbourhood is booming.
