2003 Update

|
Plans for new
waterfront development are breathtaking!
Proposals include:
- a streetcar
line across the breadth of the waterfront
- a gradual dismantling
of the Gardiner Expressway to reconnect the city
and the waterfront
- turning Union
Station into a major hub for travellers including a rail
link to the airport
- creating a "greenway"
from the Etobicoke to Scarborough
- restoring the
mouth of the Don River reestablishing wetlands and widening
the beach and parkland spaces
|
But there's no need to
wait, The Harbourfront already offers an array of year-round cultural
activities and entertainment. Lake Ontario's waterfront trail,
which is so popular with cyclists, walkers, and rollerbladers, runs
right past the front door of the Queen Quay condominiums. Nearby
attractions in the extended neighborhood include SkyDome (baseball),
Air Canada Center (NBA & NHL), CN Tower, Roy Thompson Hall (performing
Arts), the Theatre District, and Exhibition Place.
The area is alive with
restaurants, cafes, nightclubs, theatres, and shops, and is just
a short walk from the city's vibrant financial district.
The condo residence can enjoy panoramic lake views and watch
sailboats from the Royal Canadian, National, and Island Yacht Clubs
cruise the inner harbour.
The waterfront has several
condominiums with prices ranging from $175,000 to a $2,000,000.
Listed below are the prime examples from the full price range .
Please be aware that availability is constantly changing.
