38 Dan Leckie Way & 418-432 Lake Shore Boulevard W

Tired of staring out your window and looking at the side of another condo? With a south facing suite at Panorama Condos, you can trade your view of the concrete jungle for a panoramic view of Lake Ontario. And because this property rests beside the Gardiner Expressway, those who face north have a buffer between them and the nearest buildings.

Some buyers might be concerned about ending up with a north facing suite that looks over the Gardiner Expressway, but there’s something incredibly cathartic about observing busy traffic from the comfort of your home, and those on higher floors have unobstructed views of the Toronto skyline.

Panorama Condos is located at 38 Dan Leckie Way, and while it was built as part of the CityPlace neighbourhood, this property is technically located in The Waterfront neighbourhood. The unique rounded design of this tower affords residents with excellent views, and gives this property a distinctive presence.

Residents of 38 Dan Leckie Way enjoy access to a host of convenient extras — gym, sauna, party room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, parking garage, and visitor parking. And if you’re concerned about inflated maintenance fees, don’t be, because fees are actually below average.

38 Dan Leckie Way is home to 401 suites spread over 29 storeys. Suite sizes range from 463 square feet for a 1 bedroom, to 1747 for a 2 bedroom + den. All units are open concept, and well lit thanks to large window walls.

There’s a lot to like about the Panorama Condos, beginning with the uniquely styled kitchens — built in stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, retractable counters for extra preparation space, and ample storage. Suites have either hardwood floors or wood laminate, and all units have modern bathrooms, and private balconies.

Lastly, the price per square foot at Panorama Condos is quite reasonable compared other downtown Toronto condos for sale and other buildings in the neighbourhood as well, so even if you’re not completely sold on the finishes, the price point is hard to ignore.

A nature lover’s reprieve within the city — The Waterfront neighbourhood is desirable for a reason. As a resident of 38 Dan Leckie Way, you’re just steps from lakeside parks such as Little Norway Park. What makes this location even more appealing is that the Waterfront Trail is only minutes away, providing lakeside walking trails for kilometres to the east and west.

Even if nature isn’t your thing and you’re just here for the view, there’s still plenty to please you in the area. With the Entertainment District within walking distance, Toronto’s biggest and best attractions are practically on your doorstep — Blue Jays games, the Leafs and Raptors, the CN Tower, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, are all a short walk or streetcar ride away.

Everybody needs to eat, but not everybody can cook — if you’re one of those people who could find a way to burn water, you’ll find no shortage of great eateries nearby. For something fast, you have Subway, Starbucks, and Tim Hortons. Or if you have more time on your hands, there’s Guirei Japanese Restaurant, Iruka Sushi, Roywoods, Roses New York, Macho Radiobar, and many more in the Entertainment District and King West neighbourhood.

For a night on the town, you can kick things off at Hunters Landing, make your way east for Fox and Fiddle Cityplace, and then move on to the Entertainment District for craft beer at The Loose Moose, or to catch live music at Radio, and N'Awlins, or dance the night away at Fiction, Stadium Nightclub, and Orchid Nightclub. Of course, these are but a few of the hangouts available, and half the fun will be discovering them for yourself.

One could say that the Panorama Condos is the John Tavares of walkability — boasting a 91 Walk Score. As a resident of this building, you can easily accomplish most of your daily errands on foot. In fact, even grocery runs are easy, because Sobeys Urban Fresh Spadina is roughly a 7 minute walk.

For those who commute via public transit, this building is a great starting point; there are east and westbound streetcars just minutes to the south on Queens Quay W, north and southbound streetcars on Bathurst, east and westbound buses on Fort York Blvd — all with service to Union Station for subway lines and GO Transit.

Car owners take note — this is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the most drivable locations in Toronto; drivers can reach the Gardiner Expressway via the Spadina on-ramp in less than 2 minutes… mic drop.
