Across from the Music Garden

Like its neighbour at 500 Queens Quay West, this building doesn't carry a separate marketing name, it's simply known by its address. Completed in 2001 by Cenpac and ToddGlen, the 12-storey brick-and-glass building sits directly across from the Toronto Music Garden, one of the more genuinely peaceful green spaces on this stretch of the waterfront.

Suite mix

Suites range from bachelor units up to large two-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts, open-concept living and dining areas throughout, with kitchens featuring breakfast bars and private balconies on most units.

Fees & what to verify

Built in 2001, this is a building entering its mid-life stretch where reserve fund studies matter more than they did a decade ago. Ask about the building's envelope maintenance history given the brick-and-glass exterior, and confirm current reserve fund health before waiving any conditions.

Amenities & location

  • A rooftop sundeck and lounge, genuinely one of the better shared rooftop spaces nearby, with BBQ access and full lake and skyline views
  • Easy TTC streetcar access directly outside the building
  • Across the street from Toronto Music Garden, with the wider waterfront trail steps away

Who it suits

Buyers who want a quieter, green-adjacent stretch of the waterfront and value a genuinely good rooftop space over a longer amenity checklist. A solid, straightforward option for buyers who'd rather spend on location and unobstructed views than a marketed building name.

Agent's Take

The rooftop here punches above its weight for a building without a brand name attached to it. If you've toured buildings with flashier lobbies but underwhelming shared outdoor space, it's worth seeing this one specifically for the rooftop before you decide what actually matters to you.
