197 Yonge
Queen station downstairs and the Eaton Centre opposite, easy to live without a car; constant sirens near the hospital, only 4 main elevators for 60 storeys, and long valet queues.
Good points
- Next to Queen station, opposite the Eaton Centre
- Six-minute walk to TMU
- High-end spa and gym
- Good views from upper floors facing south and east
Problems
- Near St. Michael's Hospital; sirens around the clock
- 4 main elevators for 60 storeys; only 2 when move-ins and maintenance coincide
- Garbage chutes on upper floors often jam; garbage has to go down to B1
- Unbalanced fresh air in the corridors; some common areas are cold in winter
- Valet queues of 20–40 minutes at peak times
