Located in the heart of the Queen West neighborhood at 168 Simcoe St and built in 2000, Qwest is a charming condo building of 13 storeys comprised of concrete, tinted glass, and brick. Located right at the intersection of Simcoe St. and Richmond St. W, Qwest is steps away from three major arterial roads (Queen St. W, Adelaide St. W, and University Ave.), which positions this condominium perfectly. Developed by Tridel, architected by Gordon Rigley Architect, and currently managed by Crossbridge Condominium Services, Qwest has 207 units (of which the smallest is 552 feet², and the largest one is 1888 feet²), and offers buyers a selection of 1-bedroom units, 1-bedroom plus den units, as well as 2-bedroom units. On the interiors of the condo units themselves, a number of features will be present for homebuyers, with examples being pre-engineered hardwood flooring, granite countertops, and enclave kitchens, as well as spacious open-concept layouts. On the inside of Qwest itself, buyers can expect to find amenities placed solely for the comfort of the residents, with some of the major examples being an exercise room, a sauna, visitor parking, a common rooftop deck, a concierge service, a parking garage, as well as a security guard service and an enter phone system. Thanks to the increasing historical average PSF of Qwest, real estate investors will have a lot of potential in seeing a positive return on investment.Upon residents of Qwest stepping out into the beautiful sunlight bathing 168 Simcoe St. in light, the first thing residents will notice is the close-by presence of a pair of TTC transit bus stops (right at the intersection of Richmond & Simcoe), with the closest subway station being Osgoode and only a 5-minute walk away. Utilizing the TTC transit bus system will enable homebuyers to travel further into Toronto and experience more of it. Right in the immediate vicinity of Qwest, residents can find a number of stores, ranging from major chains to small privately-owned shops, along with some restaurants, some pubs/bars, and even a pharmacy and a couple of banks. For the avid motorist who wishes to get access to the nearest highway, the best way to do that is to head west on Richmond St. W to Spadina Ave., then head south on Spadina Ave. to Lake Shore Blvd., where an on-ramp and off-ramp to the Gardiner Expressway await.For the residents who really love their greenspace, a drive west on Richmond St. W to John St., then a drive north on John St. to Stephanie St. will bring residents to Grange Park, a larger greenspace filled with nature and beautiful scenery, allowing buyers to enjoy themselves in a sense of relative peace and quiet. Nearby to Qwest is the Four Seasons Centre of the Performing Arts, an original tourist attraction for the city of Toronto. Also, attractive and present is the Waterfront District, accessed by taking a simple drive down Spadina Ave. Doing this will give residents full access to all the wonderful amenities and shops that can be found along Toronto’s famous Waterfront District.
