Harbourside

The many developers building in downtown Toronto along Lake Ontario look to the Campeau Corporation’s location at 55-65 Harbour Square with envy. The Harbourside Condos have occupied this prime location right beside the water since 1980.

Nonetheless, the building at 55-65 Harbour Square in the The Waterfront neighbourhood is quite impressive, thanks to Bregman + Hamann Architects who oversaw its design. Standing at 37-storeys, this concrete building’s architectural adornments are minimal, but its particularly wide structure creates rows of specularly shining windows, giving the Harbourside Condos a grand impression. Many architects can only aspire to the timeless elegance afforded by such a vast expanse of glass.

Even though it’s one of the original condominiums in the area, the Harbourside Condos remains luxurious, with many modern, updated amenities. Residents can enjoy the condo’s exclusive shuttle bus, 24-hour concierge service, and access to a saltwater indoor pool, and fully-equipped fitness facilities with squash court. And, for entertaining friends and family, a lounge, a party room and outdoor terraces can be found at 55-65 Harbour Square, with gorgeously groomed gardens and common barbeques. There’s even an exclusive licensed lounge for residents of the Harbourside Condos, known as the “Tiffany Room.”

Awarded the Condominium of the Year award by the Canadian Condominium Institute in 2009, prospective buyers will be attracted to the full-fledged community at 55-65 Harbour Square. The residents make up active committees who stage social events throughout the year, including an annual arts and crafts show. They have also collected thousands of books for an astounding common library. As a result, the atmosphere is more than welcoming — it’s a refreshingly embracing environment.
