560 Front St W

Its crisp glass and white-framed design won a provincial project of the year award, and it was one of the first modern towers on this stretch of Front Street. Residents have a gym with a sauna, a media room, a billiards and table tennis room, a party room and a landscaped rooftop deck. There's a concierge desk and visitor parking. Fees cover water, building insurance and the upkeep of shared spaces. Fort York National Historic Site and The Bentway are a short walk west, and the restaurants of King West are a few blocks north. The 511 Bathurst streetcar stops about four minutes away, the 504 King about six and the 510 Spadina about seven, and Union Station is roughly 21 minutes on foot.
