MARKET WHARF CONDOS PHASE II – 1 Market Street

Date Registered (2005-07-27)

Steps away from the beautiful St. Lawrence Market are the glossy eight-storey glass and brick tower and brick podium that make up the Market Wharf condos phase 2. Located at 1 Market Street, these condos have a unique and sophisticated design, with large glass balconies jutting out at slightly different points on the tall tower, giving the building a modern yet angular look. For the podium, windows are offset and framed by red brick. If you are looking for space and a lot of light in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, then home at 1 Market Street may be perfect for you. 

This highly sought-after condo features an ecologically friendly architectural design, which was developed by well-known firm Context Developments. The design brings together the desirable features of both modern decor and the heritage style that the neighbourhood is known for. 

Standing at 33-storeys tall, the glass tower features a rippled balcony design reminiscent of Lake Ontario’s waves. Each home on the glass tower comes with a glass balcony, and almost every unit is treated to views of Lake Ontario. Future residents can have their pick of unit layouts and spread as there are several options available. 

Notably, homes in the red-brick podium are known as the Market Flats and are only one-storey. These homes overlook the St. Lawrence Market. If you move up to the tower, you can purchase or rent a Market Town, which is a two-storey condo with a private terrace, and the Market Towns also overlook St. Lawrence Market. You can also choose a Water Suite, which is a one-storey condo that looks straight out to Lake Ontario. Or, you can choose a penthouse, which will take up the entire level on the uppermost floor and comes with, of course, a private balcony. 

Context designed all the 450 suites at Market Wharf condos phase 2 to provide residents with a generous amount of space. Suite sizes range from 379 square feet to 2,749 square feet. Even the smaller units can be purchased at 400 square feet on a one-storey, with a one-bedroom plus den layout. The penthouses span 2,700 square feet, all with floor-to-ceiling windows so you can look out over the city, heritage neighbourhood, and Lake Ontario views. 

Spread out on a private balcony or terrace, which comes with just about every unit. One of the terraces attached to a penthouse measured at 1,200 square feet of outdoor space in addition to the three-bedroom penthouse suite. Of course, inside you’ll find all modern features and amenities. Hardwood flooring, extended ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops are a must. 

1 Market Street Amenities

Context Development designed the homes of 1 Market Street with a large list of amenities in addition to the beautiful design, spacious living, and the convenience and enjoyment of the neighbourhood. 

Residents of 1 Market Street will enjoy all the standard amenities that come with a modern Toronto condo, including a built-in security system, an on-site concierge, and a 24/7 security guard. 

If you’re driving a vehicle, residents of Market Wharf condos phase 2 can opt-in for a parking spot to be covered under their maintenance fees. Visitors can make use of the visitor parking and rentable guest suites for the residents who want to host a party or hang out on the rooftop deck and garden. While residents can BBQ on a private terrace, they can also rent out the party room or enjoy the garden on top. 

The rooftop garden of 1 Market Street was not only designed to create a relaxing environment, but it also cools off the top of the building and makes the building far more eco-friendly. Market Wharf condos were featured in The Globe and Mail for its three rooftop gardens and their environmental harm-reduction.
