Living here
Renters, Airbnb and elevators at Queens Quay Terminal
Do mostly owners or renters live here?
Mostly owner-occupied. Of 7 deals here in the last 24 months, 2 were leases and 5 were sales. A high lease share usually means more investor owners, more move-ins and a deeper pool of rental comparables.
Can you Airbnb a unit at Queens Quay Terminal?
No active City registrations here right now. In Toronto you can only host in your principal residence, a whole unit for at most 180 nights a year, with a $390 yearly registration and 6% accommodation tax. You cannot buy here to run it as a full-time Airbnb. Check the condo’s rules in the status certificate before you count on it.
How reliable are the elevators?
Ontario requires residential buildings to report any elevator outage lasting 48 hours or more, and this address has none on record. Elevators still need modernizing every 25 to 30 years, so check the reserve fund study for the date.

Before you buy here
Five things the listing will not tell you about Queens Quay Terminal
- Reserve fund health. Ask for the latest reserve fund study and its date. A thin fund in an older building usually means fee jumps or a special assessment.
- Special assessments and big repairs. Check the status certificate for planned levies and for balcony, garage, window or elevator work.
- Insurance deductible. Find the corporation’s deductible for water damage. If it is higher than your own policy covers, raise your coverage before closing.
- Fee trend. Compare this year’s budget with last year’s. Rises of 2–5% a year are typical; bigger jumps need an explanation.
- Lawsuits and rules. Look for legal claims against the corporation, and for rules on pets, short-term rentals and leasing.
Send me the status certificate and I will flag anything that matters before your conditional period runs out.

Queens Quay Terminal at 211 Queens Quay West is the most unusual condo address on the Toronto waterfront. The homes sit on four floors that Eberhard Zeidler added to the roof of a 1927 harbour warehouse, above shops, offices and a dance theatre, with the lake on three sides. It is a rare, award-winning building with a small number of very large suites, and it is not for everyone. I’m Jatin Dua, RE/MAX Quantum Realty.
Quick answer
Queens Quay Terminal is a mixed-use building at 211 Queens Quay West, on the south side of Queens Quay near York Street on Toronto’s Harbourfront. The original Terminal Warehouse opened in 1927; Zeidler Roberts Partnership converted it in 1983, adding four floors of condominium suites on top. The residential portion has four storeys (levels 9 to 12) and was built with 72 suites, though some owners have since combined units. The condominium corporation is MTCC-690, registered on 5 April 1985. Suites run from roughly 1,341 to 1,968 square feet. The maintenance fee covers common elements, heat, air conditioning, building insurance, parking and water. Property management is listed as Royale Grande Property Management.
Queens Quay Terminal at a glance
A 1927 warehouse with homes on the roof
The building started life as the Terminal Warehouse, designed by the New York firm Moores & Dunford and opened in 1927. It was a working port building, with docks on the water side and rail tracks running through the interior.
In 1983 Eberhard Zeidler, working for Olympia & York, turned it into a mixed-use landmark. He added four floors to the original eight, cut an atrium through the middle, and put shops, restaurants and offices on the lower levels. The conversion won a Governor General’s Medal for Architecture in 1986 and an OAA Architectural Excellence Award in 1989.
The condominium suites are those four added floors, levels 9 to 12. Below you are retail on the ground floor, offices on the second, and the Fleck Dance Theatre on the third. Very few condos anywhere in Toronto sit on top of a building with this much public life inside it.
Large suites with greenhouse windows
Suites here are big: roughly 1,341 to 1,968 square feet, with larger combined units above that. The Globe and Mail reported in 2015 that the original 72 suites had become about 61 as owners joined neighbouring units together, so the building has fewer, larger homes than its registration suggests.
The signature detail is the greenhouse-style glazing on the harbour side, which brings in a lot of light and frames the water. Some suites also have interior windows that look into the landscaped atrium gardens. Because you are on the upper floors above a busy base, street noise is muted.
Views are not all permanent. The Globe noted that newer towers have blocked some older city sightlines, so the harbour-facing suites hold their value best. Ask which way a suite faces before you compare prices.
Combined suites are worth a closer look. Because owners have merged units over the years, some homes here are larger and more unusual than anything on the original plans, and they rarely come to market. If you find one, ask for the approvals that were given when the units were joined, and check that the status certificate and the unit’s legal description match what you are buying.

An all-inclusive fee and a rooftop pool
Queens Quay Terminal has an indoor pool and sauna, a rooftop garden, and a 24-hour concierge. The Globe described remodelled hallways and common areas and replanted gardens, including a green roof along the building’s edge.
The fee inclusions are among the broadest you will find: common elements, heat, air conditioning, building insurance, parking and water. Hydro and internet are the main costs left to the owner. That makes the fee look high in absolute terms but predictable year round.
Condos.ca flags pet restrictions here. Read the declaration and rules before you assume a pet is allowed, and confirm the rules on renovations too, since combining or reworking suites in a building like this needs approval.
Living above a public building
Daily life here is different from a standard tower. The base is a public destination with shops, restaurants and a theatre, and the waterfront outside fills with visitors in summer. Brookfield, the landlord of the commercial space, refreshed the retail floors in 2017, bringing in new tenants to fill vacancies.
The most useful part of that base for residents is the grocery store on the ground floor, which blogTO identified as a Sobeys at the time of the 2017 refresh. Being able to shop for groceries without going outside is a real advantage on a February evening by the lake. Tenants change, so check what is open now.
Queens Quay has been rebuilt with new bike lanes and pedestrian walkways, and the financial district is within walking distance north. The data panel on this page covers transit, groceries and walkability in detail. The trade-off for living in a landmark is that you share its doorstep with the public.
Pricing and fees at Queens Quay Terminal
The building averages about $897 per square foot, which is high for a building of this age and reflects how rare it is. Large suites usually trade at a lower price per square foot than small ones, so that figure says a lot about what buyers will pay for this address.
Because heat, air conditioning and parking are all in the fee, compare total carrying cost rather than the fee alone. A newer tower with a lower fee will often bill heating and cooling separately and charge for parking on top.
There were no suites for sale when I wrote this, which is typical for a building with only about 60 to 72 homes. Listings come up rarely, so if you want to buy here, it pays to be ready before one appears. For what suites have actually sold for, ask me for a building sold report.

Jatin’s honest take on Queens Quay Terminal
Who this building suits
Downsizers and long-term owners who want a large suite, a harbour view and an all-inclusive fee in a building with real history. It suits people who like being in the middle of the waterfront and do not mind sharing the building’s base with the public. If you want a quiet residential street, this is the wrong address.
What I’d want you to check
The residential floors date from 1983 and sit on a 1927 structure, so ask hard questions about the windows, the roof and green roof, the pool, and the mechanical systems that supply heat and cooling. Find out how costs are shared between the residential condominium and the commercial owner of the rest of the building, and read the reserve fund study and status certificate closely for planned work or levies. Confirm the pet and renovation rules before you make plans.
The value question
At about $897 per square foot, you are not buying here for a bargain. You are paying for scarcity, size and a fee that covers almost everything. For a buyer who wants something no new tower can offer and plans to stay, I think it can be worth the premium, provided the reserve fund and the shared-cost arrangements check out. Because sales are rare, I would also lean on recent comparable sales in the building rather than on asking prices elsewhere on the waterfront.
