It doesn’t get more strategic than this for a true cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Residents looking out their picture windows view the picturesque tree-lined street in a special pocket of King West. A few steps beyond lies the riches of the Greater Metropolitan Area, all within easy access on foot, bicycle or mass transit. The address at 525 Adelaide Street West says it all. The neighbourhood is a known popular destination for down-sizers of any age or walk of life.

The building façade at Musée condos is an exciting conglomeration of stacked geometric blocks with a variance of cladding and color. Upper and lower portions are well defined for visual interest and to ensure a balance of proportions. The entire structure is topped by a glass rooftop addition surrounded by lush landscaping that seems to glow in the dark. The pool has been placed here for maximum drama and to take advantage of the stellar views around 525 Adelaide Street.  

Musée condos is a unique kind of variation on the old theme of repetitive geometric organization. It has a personality and style all its own with stairs stepping on one side by Quadrangle Architects Ltd. In keeping with the promise of the condos name, there is an outdoor galleria with rotating exhibits.
