Just off the Gardiner Expressway on Parliament Street, this luxury condo will be a sleek steel-and-glass mixed residential and retail high-rise anchored by 319 square meters of ground-level retail space fronting along Parliament Street to the west. The building will have a three level underground parking garage with 153 proposed parking spaces. The tower will feature setbacks at floors 6, 13, and 26 that will make room for residential terraces as well as condo amenity space. Floor 5 will feature an outdoor swimming pool. Similarly, floor 26 will provide amazing views of the city. No. 31 Condos is also just down the street from Parliament Square Park, an open greenspace which connects to a linear park extending to the St Lawrence Market. The park features walkways, seating areas and playground spaces. It’s a short walk to the Martin Goodman Trail. A popular walking and cycling trail that stretches across the city’s entire waterfront. As one of downtown Toronto’s most successful and unique revitalizations, the Distillery District has become a desirable urban community. The Distillery District is a commercial and residential district, featuring restored Victorian Industrial Architecture. Known for its street fairs and the yearly anticipated Christmas Market, this area gives that old school feel to the amazing modern living spaces for its residents. 31 Parliament Street has a Walk Score of 92 out of 100. This location is a Walker’s Paradise so daily errands do not require a car. 31 Parliament Street is a seven minute walk from the 504 KING at the DISTILLERY LOOP stop. This location is in the Waterfront Communities-The Island neighborhood in Toronto. Nearby parks include St. James Park, Sculpture Gardens and Sumach-Shuter Parkette.
