Heart of Toronto makes it a super location. No complaints about the security and maintenance, but false fire alarms can get a little annoying.

Forward/Newton/Exchange condos located at 70/80/90 Queens Wharf Rd. Although they are technically three seperate buildings, they share the same condo corporation. Completed by Concord in 2018, these are some of the best condos in the Cityplace neighbourhood (out of 29 condos in the area, along with 11 Brunel Crt and 170 Fort York). 

Some of the building's pros:
- The building is well-built, especially in relation to other condos in the area
- Built-in appliances with floor-to-ceiling windows in every unit
- Decent maintenance fees for what the building offers @ $0.82 PSF
- The amenities are in a separate building that's shared with 75/85 Queens Wharf Rd, but they include a well-rounded mix of amenities like a swimming pool, gym, basketball court, etc

Some things to consider about this building:
- Elevator wait times can be long on the longer side, especially at 90 Queens Wharf Rd when the service elevator is booked up
- Some units have low ceilings (I have only seen this in 80 Queens Wharf Rd)

I love it here. The amenities are clean and never too busy, and the unit insulation is surprisingly solid. It’s peaceful for CityPlace and feels a bit removed from the chaos.

The suite itself is nice! Modern finishes, giant floor-to-ceiling windows and the appliances in great shape. It’s a quiet spot tucked into City Place. Not much nightlife nearby, but the lakefront and parks make up for it.
