SQ Condos by Tridel | Toronto - Toronto New Condos From $200k

Live downtown
without the
density.
Tridel is kicking off the Alexandra Park
revitalization by constructing SQ, the first
condominium that will anchor this master
planned community. Designed by the
acclaimed firm of Teeple Architects, the
intense sculptural forms of SQ reflect
their urban conditions and placement on
the site. The dramatic new building grows
out of the low-rise forms on Queen Street
West and gradually increases in height
like a built-up hillside to meet the taller
buildings to the north.
SQ is situated on a quiet side street, just
northwest of the vibrant intersection of
Spadina and Queen. Here the rush of city
life fades away, muffled by established
trees and greenspace. You can enjoy
the best of downtown living while being
off the beaten path. Be in the thick of
things without feeling crowded. Yet only
a short walk away, you’re surrounded
by the eclectic excitement of Queen
Street West, the big business buzz of
the Financial District, the higher learning
of the U of T campus, and a multitude
of area attractions and entertainment.
SQ is the first step in a massive urban
development plan that will see this
downtown community invigorated and
renewed with fresh imagination and
visionary design.
It’s hip
to be
square.
Convenience without a car.
Transit score: 100 | Walk Score: 98
Walk or bike, everything is so close by that nowhere is a hike. Cyclists will appreciate
the convenience of direct access to a stackable storage system for their bikes
right from the street. The ideal downtown location of SQ puts you at the centre of
everything. Steps from both the Spadina and Queen streetcar lines. A short hop away
from the subway and Union Station, Toronto’s grand central commuter hub. Close to
the major city access routes of the Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Boulevard and
the Don Valley Parkway. If you’re flying out of town, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport
beckons with its speedy check-ins and rapid commuter flights. A short ferry ride to
the Toronto Islands offers a panoramic view of the city’s impressive skyline and the
beautiful waterfront promenade.

Ignite the
imagination.
SQ commands a cornerstone position
for urban adventurers to take up
residence. Located northwest of the
Spadina and Queen intersection, SQ
features a stunningly modern, geometric
design that steps away from the typical
boutique condo aesthetic. The inspired
building sets a spectacular new standard
for
downtown
living.
An
irregular
stack of blocks and protrusions deliver
higher insulation values and sculpturally
rebrand the community. Staggered
balconies maximize the sense of private
outdoor space while providing focused
views of the surrounding greenspace.
The
rambunctious
arrangement
of
geometric shapes and forms creates
an exhilarating and thoroughly modern
residence that captivates the eye and
ignites the imagination.
Silver-toned cuboid balconies,
smoothly clad in aluminum,
project out from the 14-storey
building to heighten the
architectural rhythm.
“We
must
always
change,
renew, rejuvenate
ourselves;
otherwise
we harden.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Elevate the urban
experience.
Experience the new modernism in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic
cities. Where spacious suites with expansive windows reflect the joys of city life.
Where fluid living spaces open up onto a staggered layering of balconies. Where
open concept designs and intelligent use of space extract more enjoyment out
of every square foot. Where Tridel’s unparalleled commitment to quality and
impeccable attention to detail permeates every aspect of your new home. Where
vitality is victorious and urban life is lived to its fullest.
