Boutique 2 Condo, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...I own two 800+ sqft units in Boutique 2. All my long term renters have commented very positively about living there. My rental rates are not the highest and I ensure the units are in tip-top condition before renting them out. This B2 building has 36+ floors, with each floor have approx only 10 units. For 3 elevators, this is extremely convenient. The building is surprisingly quite despite the younger renters living there. Noise is not an issue. The building enjoys the prestige of being beside the Shangri-La hotel and sharing its landscaping. Annual TIFF and occasional filming will allow you to spot some A-listers. Some rooftop amenities are shared with Boutique 1, but separate exercise, party rooms and 2 guest suites are for B2 residents only. Nightly rates at the guest suties are only $130 /nt. As an owner, there were concerns about the building management and security team, but that has been addressed. The only issue now is keeping the maintenance fees from rising even more. Despite having no full size pool or other extravagant amenities, our maintenance fees are in the top 10% in downtown Toronto. This is a problem for selling the units and I hope they can hold the line on the fees and possibly reduce them when the funds are replenished...

Having been in many condos downtown Toronto I can easily say that this building is one of the best. While the finishes and design are not exciting, the soundproofing and electrical wiring are great. The ceilings are all 9ft and 10ft in selected units. The 1+1 units are a gem of this building with walk in closets and efficient space. The location is excellent. While one expects it to be a party building it is actually quiet and civil right now. The current management is great and helpful and the atmosphere is pleasant. The maintenance fees are a tad higher than average but they include everything (excl hydro), gym, sauna, office space, media room, rooftop patio with a small pool, and movie theatre. The proportion of owners to renters is high and you know owners care more. After visiting buildings in the area such as M5V, The Pinnacle and Cinema Tower I'm happy I made the choice I did. This building seems to have way less problems on a large scale. I would rather invest into finishes I like rather than live in a party condo that has problems with heat pumps, elevators, insulation, and drunk crowds.

Boutique Condos is actually 2 buildings - 126 SImcoe St & 21 Nelson St. 126 Simcoe is the tower with some picturesque south views on higher floors. Located right next to Shangri-la and just off University Ave Boutique is very popular for buyers and renters who want to be close to the financial core, entertainment and subway.

Life at 126 Simcoe & 21 Nelson comes with a host of all-inclusive, highly coveted amenities. Experience a splash of the extraordinary in the Boutique gym, with a counter current exercise pool, cardio theatre, weight room and yoga studio. Rise up to the Boutique rooftop, your personal oasis for entertaining and relaxing. Outdoor patios beckon with such touches as a plunge pool, private cabanas, chaise lounges, BBQ's and fire pits seating.

The building is well managed and the demographic is mostly young professionals in the 25-45 age range.
