Right across from the Centre
The Riviera's two towers, 19 and 24 storeys, sit directly opposite Harbourfront Centre, close enough to walk to the winter skating rink or a summer festival without crossing more than the street. Completed in 2003 by Urbancorp and Landmark Developments, the tinted glass facade was a deliberate design choice to maximize both lake views by day and city lights by night, depending on which side of the building you're on.
Suite mix
Suites range from 494 to 1,590 square feet, with 9-foot ceilings and open layouts throughout. Studio and one-bedroom units dominate the lower end of that range, while the larger two-bedroom layouts offer genuinely spacious floor plans for a building this age.
Fees & what to verify
Now over two decades old, The Riviera's reserve fund study deserves the same scrutiny as any building approaching its first or second major building envelope cycle. Ask specifically about window seal and glass facade maintenance history, since tinted glass buildings from this era sometimes see more of this than concrete-and-brick alternatives.
