1132 Bay St

An advisory to condo owners, reading this may result in prolonged episodes of sobbing and an incessant need to scream “why?” at the heavens. Well, maybe you won’t actually cry, but you might want to if you’re feeling the squeeze of a 600 sq. ft condo.

This building is a rarity by today's condo standards; located on the corner of Bay and Charles Street, there are only 25 Toronto condos to occupy this 13-storey building. A 5000 sq. foot penthouse sits atop 1132 Bay, and the 12 stories below have just two units per floor. This might go without saying, but there are no small suites in this building, so no matter what floor you are on, you will have a spacious home. The average cost per square footage is well below the standard price of comparable condos, giving residents more bang for their buck.

For a building with such a modest unit count, you might expect the amenities to be limited, but 1132 Bay boasts some impressive extras: indoor pool and whirlpool, below ground parking garage, sauna, and 24-hour concierge. 1132 Bay restricts owners to one cat or dog without weight limitations.

Considering the sheer size of these condos, this building is an excellent choice for couples and small families who are looking for a permanent residence, without the hassle of snow removal and lawn care.
