Great for couples
It only goes up 16 floor which is great elevator-wise, the wait is never long. Has a really nice city view and a gym on the top floor so it's nice to look out to.
Age demographic is about 26-32, it's a quieter building than 126 Simcoe next door so there are no 22-year-olds running around partying on Thursday nights but that's not to say you can't do it. Just more amenable to families and couples.
PROS ><CONS
Cons: Only con I have found so far is that there is NO VISITOR PARKING in the building.
PROS / CONS
Near to the Clubs - great for pre drinking before a night out Near Queen St W and Eatons for shopping Near King St W for awesome dining Near enough to Spadina for my Asian Grocery needs 3 mins to Osgoode Stn Decent Gym room
Cons: No nearby supermarket - except I think Rabba is supposed to come Condo construction next door - so you're probably looking at a big hole right now No visitor parking Access to highway - Gardiner or DVP is about 15 min
Conclusion: This place is great for you if: 1. you're a ttc person 2. you work downtown 3. you dont depend on car/ driving anywhere (driving in and out is a nightmare) 4. you dont expect a lot for amenities.. (you get what you pay for)
an incredible value
I'm not a huge fan of the hallway colours (each floor is painted a bright colour, from pink to purple to blue), but the overall vibe in the building is good. The layouts range from awesome to absolutely horrid and barely usable (I'd actually rate some a 1 star and some 5 stars). Finishes are nice - I personally prefer the concrete floor/exposed beam lofts to the dry-walled ones.
The amenities are good - while the pool is in the basement, a skylight lets a lot of natural light in. There isn't a concierge (which is good for your condo fees, though surprising in a building this big).
The neighbourhood is HOT and changing every day, and I expect that prices will be more in line (ie higher) in a few years when the supply issues have sorted themselves out.
I rate 150 Sudbury 4 stars because it represents an incredible value in a hot neighbourhood.
