A small, low-rise building by Quay standards. That's part of the appeal. Current listings, fees, and reserve fund status change, so I'll pull a live read when you're ready to look seriously.

The building

Admiralty Point went up in 1989, developed by The Whaler Group. It's a modest eight storeys, built at a time when the waterfront was starting to fill in with taller towers. That low profile is exactly what a certain kind of buyer is looking for. Fewer neighbours sharing the elevator. A quieter building overall. And suites that lean larger than what you'd find in a comparable-priced unit in a 40-storey tower nearby.

The building's defining feature is its relationship with the Radisson hotel next door. Residents get access to hotel-grade amenities that most standalone condos simply can't offer at this size. More on that below.

Suite mix

Sixty-one suites total, ranging from roughly 905 to 3,343 square feet. That's genuinely large by Harbourfront standards, and several suites at the top of that range offer more space than most buyers expect to find on the water at this price point. Every suite gets a city or lake view, so there's no bad side of the building the way there sometimes is in larger towers.

Fees & what to verify

As with any building from this era, the status certificate is where the real story is. On a building sharing amenities with a hotel operation, ask specifically how the cost-sharing arrangement with the Radisson works and whether it shows up as a separate line in the fee structure. That's a detail unique to this building and worth understanding clearly before you make an offer. Beyond that, the usual checklist applies: reserve fund balance, the date of the last study, and any pending special assessments.

Amenities & location

  • Shared access to Radisson hotel amenities, including a whirlpool, sauna, and a squash court, which is genuinely rare in a Harbourfront condo
  • 24-hour concierge and security, plus a parking garage
  • Hotel housekeeping services available to residents
  • Steps to the Toronto Music Garden and the lakeside path west toward Sunnyside
  • Close to Waterfront Asia Market and several lakeside patios with genuine lake views, not just a glimpse between buildings

Who it suits

Buyers who want the waterfront lifestyle without the scale of a 40- or 60-storey tower. This is a building for people who'd rather know their neighbours than ride an elevator with 400 of them. The hotel-amenity access also makes it a strong fit for buyers who entertain out-of-town guests often, or who simply want a squash court and a proper sauna without needing to leave the building.
