Since 1984, the iconic brick-clad tower at 1132 Bay Street has been offering beautiful downtown units with great urban views. Standing at just 13 stories, this building might be older than most, but as its residents can attest, there comes wisdom with age. Unlike the tight, often conventional layouts of newer condos, 1132 Bay Street only has two suites per floor, which means sprawling floor plans with much room to grow.
Despite being an older building, 1132 Bay Street does not lack in amenities. There's a luxurious indoor pool and sauna, rooftop patio, dedicated concierge service, and an onsite superintendent, which is a rarity in the city. It's also an extremely pet-friendly building, allowing one pet per unit with no weight limitations.
Designed by Estonian architect Henno Sillaste, this stately tower was joined by his second project, the iconic condo at 160 Frederick Street by the St. Lawrence Market. These significant architectural contributions were recognized in a 2017 exhibit commemorating Estonian architects like Sillaste, Uno Prii, and Michael Bach, who have accelerated the adoption of modernist design in the city.
At the corner of Bay Street and Charles Street West, this building is in the centre of all the great things this city has to offer. Just across the street from Bay Station, it is also steps to the Bloor-Yonge subway for quick access to the University-Spadina line. Queen's Park, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the CAA Theatre are all part of the neighbourhood. The University of Toronto campus is also a short stroll away.
This area scores high on the entertainment and culture levels. There is a variety of eclectic and fine dining options at every price point and every type of cuisine imaginable, artisanal coffee and dessert shops, movie theatres, plus a pulsating night life to keep your toes tapping into the night.
