Nautical by design, not just by name
Queens Harbour's two matching 11-storey towers share a rounded exterior of white concrete and pale blue tinted glass that genuinely reads as nautical, several people have described it as looking like a cruise ship docked on Queens Quay, and it's not hard to see why. Built by Monarch Group and completed in 2000, this is one of the quieter, more residential buildings on the western stretch of the waterfront, near the intersection of Queens Quay and Dan Leckie Way.
Suite mix
Suites range from roughly 460 to 1,246 square feet, bachelor units through two-bedroom-plus-den layouts. Western and southern exposures get the best lake and marina views, while northern and eastern units look toward the CN Tower and downtown core instead.
Fees & what to verify
Now approaching a quarter-century old, Queens Harbour's reserve fund study is worth a close read, standard diligence for a building at this stage of its life cycle. Ask about the exterior's tinted glass and concrete maintenance history specifically, given the distinctive curved facade.
