Motion

Building a condo at the corner of Bay and Dundas is no easy feat &mdash; prospective buyers expect nothing shy of the best when shopping for <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a> in the heart of the downtown core. Thankfully, Concert Properties Ltd. stepped up their game when building Motion in 2013. The developer still manages the building to this day, and even offers an Concert On-Call service that can be used by residents 24/7.Concert contracted IBI Group to design the building at 570 Bay Street, while NAK Design Group took on the landscape architecture. The result is an ultramodern 29-storey structure with black and white rectangular details and plenty of glass. While Motion certainly isn&rsquo;t amongst the tallest condos in the city, its sizeable footprint means there&rsquo;s space for just shy of 500 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto condos</a> inside.Those more concerned with carbon footprints will also be satisfied with the measures taken by the developers and architects behind Motion. Not only did the building receive a gold certification from LEED, it also aims to adhere to a high level of voluntary standards set by Toronto Green Standard.And now that we&rsquo;ve covered the building&rsquo;s dedication to combating climate change, it&rsquo;s time to move onto the good stuff. Residents living at 570 Bay have an array of amenities at their disposal, which we&rsquo;ll go ahead and list in no particular order.The building is equipped with a party room, cinema, library, multiple common terraces &mdash; some with barbecues &mdash; a games room, a business centre, and a gym. Residents can also make use of the building&rsquo;s bicycle parking and storage lockers, plus there are even some parking spaces for Zipcars in the garage. And for added convenience, there&rsquo;s nearly 12,000 square feet of retail space on the ground level of Motion.

Motion is a name that perfectly sums up the atmosphere of Toronto&rsquo;s <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/city-centre">City Centre neighbourhood</a>: residents quickly find that the area around them seems to never stop moving.The first thing prospective buyers will probably notice about the area is that the Eaton Centre is right across the street. Shoppers can spend entire days meandering around the seemingly endless shops inside, and of course the mall also contains plenty of restaurants.Those looking to immerse themselves in some culture during their free time have a number of options within walking distance. Residents living at 570 Bay never need to worry about finding a parking spot when attending events at venues like the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, Massey Hall, or the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre. And to top it all off, the Ryerson Image Centre and the Art Gallery of Ontario are also both just a 10-minute walk away from Motion.

With 463 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos">Toronto condos</a> spread throughout the building, it shouldn&rsquo;t be all that surprising to hear that there&rsquo;s a great deal of variation from home to home. The building is outfitted with studios, one bedroom, one plus den, two bedroom, and two bedroom plus den units. That said, a great deal of the homes are studio or one bedroom suites, meaning larger units may not appear on the market as often as smaller ones.Many suites at Motion also boast private outdoor spaces, in the form of balconies or terraces. Layouts are generally open concept, with some kitchens even boasting sizeable islands, and energy efficient appliances are the norm throughout the building.

Traveling to and from 570 Bay is simple, thanks to its central location in downtown Toronto. Living right at the intersection of Bay and Dundas means quick and easy access to buses heading north and south along the former and streetcars moving east and west on the latter.Reaching the subway also takes no time at all: Dundas Station is a 4-minute walk away from 570 Bay. From there, residents can hop onto trains moving north or south along the Yonge line.Those with cars of their own will have to get used to the congested roads of the downtown core, however they&rsquo;ll quickly learn some tricks for navigating the immediate area. For example, those heading out on longer journeys can use Bay to reach the Gardiner Expressway&mdash;a fast-paced highway that carries cars east and west along the southern edge of the city.

Although the Eaton Centre takes over a large portion of the land in City Centre, there are still over 20 condos in the neighbourhood. The buildings range in terms of size, age, price point, and style, catering to the diverse group of prospective buyers who want to live in the centre of it all. Those looking for a luxurious place to live, for example, might find themselves looking into the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/180-university-ave-shangri-la">Shangri-La</a> Residences. The homes span up to 4,400 square feet, and residents can enjoy having Momofuku and the Miraj Hammam Spa in the building.Then there&rsquo;s the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/73-richmond-st-w-graphic-arts-building">Graphic Arts Building</a>, which was built 1913 as head offices of Saturday Night Magazine. The historical structure was converted 90 years later, with its limestone fa&ccedil;ade now setting the stage for the contemporary homes within. Some high-density buildings can also be found in City Centre: built in 2016, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/70-temperance-st-indx">INDX</a> is home to nearly 800 units, while the 2010-built <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/55-bremner-blvd-65-bremner-blvd-maple-leaf-square">Maple Leaf Square</a> consists of 872 homes spread out over 49 storeys.

The Locals: They move to the beat of the city &ndash; and they wouldn&rsquo;t have it any other way.Code of Conduct: Residents may experience a guilty feeling if they spend too many Saturdays at home.What You&rsquo;ll Find: A pulsating neighbourhood that moves at a quick pace.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: Single-family homes with sprawling front yards.The Homes: Mainly condos, but with a great deal of variation in terms of price, style, and size.Sealing the Deal: It&rsquo;s called City Centre for a reason.

Downtown

Whether used by weekday commuters or those heading out of town, Union Station fortunately resides within this neighbourhood. From here, travelers can hop onto subway trains heading up and down Yonge and University, plus they have access to VIA Rail trains, GO buses and trains, and the UP service to Pearson International Airport.

City Centre: it&rsquo;s the heart of Toronto, it&rsquo;s core, it&rsquo;s hub, and it&rsquo;s nucleus. Regardless of what you prefer to call it, the point is this neighbourhood is the centre of all the action. Catering to tourists as much as locals, City Centre is filled with hotels, theatres, shops, bars, and restaurants, as well as plenty of specialized attractions &mdash; not to mention plenty of <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a>.Whether residents plan to host visitors from far off places or have children to entertain, spending a day in City Centre is never a bore. The CN Tower has been a mainstay of the city&rsquo;s tourism industry for decades now, and newcomers like the Ripley&rsquo;s Aquarium are equally exciting.Museums catering to specific interests can also be found in the neighbourhood, including the Design Exchange, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the Textile Museum of Canada. As for live entertainment, attending mainstream concerts and sporting games is as easy as walking over to the Scotiabank Arena. More refined events like opera and ballet performances, on the other hand, can be found at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.Naturally, City Hall also calls City Centre home. Finnish architect Viljo Revell created the unique design: two curved towers facing each other, with a rounded building in the centre. Revell&rsquo;s design was chosen during a competition, beating out over 500 entries from architects around the world, and the building was finally erected in 1965. While residents may not visit the inside of City Hall all that often, the area in front of the building is a popular hangout spot: locals flock to Nathan Phillips Square for photographs beside the Toronto sign, ice skating in the winter, and a weekly farmers market during the warmer months.Just next door is Old City Hall, which has been around since 1899. Today the Ontario Court of Justice calls the Romanesque Revival structure home. With its ornate sandstone fa&ccedil;ade, Old City Hall is one of the most significant heritage buildings in the city.Speaking of historic buildings, Osgoode Hall is yet another long standing structure in City Centre. Designated a National Historic Site of Canada, the grounds surrounding the building is probably the best green space &ndash; and the best-kept secret &ndash; in the neighbourhood. Osgoode Hall was constructed in 1832 to house a law school, and the building is now occupied by Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Law Society of Ontario, as well as a law library.As expected of the core of a multicultural metropolis, City Centre really does have something for everyone. Between the Eaton Centre, Saks Food Hall, Little Tokyo along Dundas, and the popular bars and clubs along Richmond and Adelaide, shopping, dining, and nightlife are covered. Plus there are plenty of upscale dining options, catering to those in search of after-work drinks or the perfect locale for a business lunch.
