The Quartz/Spectra condominium buildings at 75-85 Queens Wharf Road (CityPlace) in downtown Toronto are a pair of stunning, colorful and unique ‘gems’. Concord Adex is the developer and builder of the Quartz/Spectra condo buildings (registered in 2015), with a vast portfolio of other condominium masterpieces that has also had Concord Adex at the helm here in Toronto. What sets these two condos apart from other condos in this city is the use of geometry to capture ‘more space and use of natural light’. A prism of light, interesting use of colors, and innovative strategies for ‘open concept’ within the suites is the best way to describe the overall feel of these condo buildings. The design team at RAW hit a home run with their implementation of a transparent interior by creating sliding glass walls to separate rooms, not the traditional hard, solid walls. Natural light opens-up the entire condo unit and the see-through walls provides a unique perspective that exceeds ‘open concept’ (unobstructed views of the downtown core & waterfront are enhanced ten-fold!). The Quartz/Spectra condos (one building is 39 stories and the other is 41 stories) possess the largest condominium ‘front yard’ in Toronto, an 8-acre park (Canoe Landing Park) designed by Douglas Coupland and executed by landscape architect Greg Smallenberg (Phillips/Farevaag & Smallenberg). Between these 2 condo buildings, there are 943 suites (bachelor lofts all the way up to spacious 3 bedrooms and a small collection of penthouses), the Prisma Club which is a three-level facility full of amenities (spa, sauna, gym/exercise room, media room/cinema, meeting/function room, pool, party room, common rooftop deck, outdoor hot tub/Jacuzzi, outdoor patio & garden, games/recreation room and yoga studio. Other building amenities include a visitor’s lounge, bicycle parking, enter phone system, security guard, BBQ’s, guest suites, concierge, visitor parking and parking garage. The historical average PSF/resale value shows that to date, returns on investments are positive for the Quartz/Spectra condominium buildings.Buyers and savvy investors appreciate the ease in which to travel by public transit (TTC streetcars along Bathurst Street or eastbound Harbourfront to Union Station & to subways and bus connections) and by car (Gardiner Expressway just to the south via Spadina Avenue access ramps). The Quartz/Spectra condos possess an excellent walk score for everyday essentials & errands shopping and cycle score for flat surface bike lanes. A short distance away, buyers will find the Garrison Common Park & recreation trail, historical Fort York, grocery stores, banks, restaurants, cafes, business services & professional offices and loads of cultural options like galleries & theatres and so much more. To the east sits the entertainment district of Toronto, to the south sits Bathurst Quay, the Toronto Islands & waterfront, to the north sits Chinatown, and to the west, 3 villages (King West Village, Liberty Village & West Queen). With so many options for amenities within reach, easy transportation methods and unparalleled, spectacular in-condo suites, smart investors can anticipate their investment stretching much further with plentiful perks. This is a premium location to the rest of Toronto and surrounding cities.
