One of Toronto’s oldest and most influential condominiums in the Bay Street Corridor neighbourhood, along with several others, Horizon on Bay is located at 633 Bay St, and helped to usher in an era for the city of Toronto that saw the downtown core and surrounding parts of the city overtaken with massive condominium projects, (becoming taller and increasingly more luxurious as the years went on and new technologies were discovered and incorporated into the designs for said buildings). However, as Horizon on Bay has grown older, even with all the new technologies rising with the buildings around it, it simply won’t be beaten, incorporating a more retro-nostalgic feeling. If the more modern condos around Horizon on Bay are the Renaissance, then Horizon on the Bay is outright Gothic; like those two art and architecture styles, both have their appeal to many, and both are very prevalent even today. Responsible for the development of this building (completing it in 1987) is Tridel, and current property management is being handled by MF Properties Ltd. With 26 storeys and 475 units (with the smallest being 631 feet² and the largest unit size being 1069 feet²), Horizon on Bay may not be the tallest condominium, but as the old saying goes: ‘Great things come in small packages’, and such is so very true with this condominium. On the inside of the condo units (1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den & 2 bedrooms), buyers will see hardwood flooring/porcelain tile, stainless steel appliances, large windows, generous storage spaces and high ceilings. Many of the in-building amenities are themed around fitness and physical improvement, as well as a variety of healthy-living options. On top of the building, investors can find a rooftop garden of great beauty complete with Jacuzzi tubs and B.B.Q stations, which helps to create a strong social atmosphere among the residents of Horizon on Bay. Also present is a swimming pool with whirlpools and two dry saunas for buyers’ enjoyment. Horizon on the Bay historical average PSF shows a positive return on investment.The buildings and properties of Toronto in the vicinity of 633 Bay St are replete with a dazzling number of amenities, most notably (and within a 5-10-minute walk of Horizon on Bay), the Eaton’s Centre (filled with shopping, entertainment and dining options), and so much more that is sure to please any homebuyer.
