/in /by

YC Condominiums is fast becoming one of the most talked about condominium projects that we can remember in a long, long time.

The site is located at the corner of Yonge & College in one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in Toronto: College Park.

We have already discussed the developer of YC Condominiums (Canderel) in detail and you can read about that below.

So what makes Yonge & College so special? We’ve broken it down into a few key points:

  • -Access to Transit
  • -High Walkability to Major Amenities
  • -Quick access to Jobs & Universities
  • -Future connection to the PATH network

Let’s break them down one by one.

YC Condos has Amazing Access to Transit

Access to Transit is quickly becoming one of the most important features of downtown living.  Convenience is king and buyers are willing to pay a premium to be located nearby key transit lines.

Traffic congestion is at an all time high and more and more people are ditching their cars as in key downtown neighbourhoods.

YC Condos is located literally across the street from the College Subway Station giving practically immediate access to Toronto’s Transit System. 

YC Condos has a Very High WalkScore

YC Condos scores a near-perfect 98 WalkScore (we can almost guarantee you that it will be a 100 by the time the building is completed).

Steps to major amenities such as the PATH network which will eventually connect to College Park, the flagship Loblaws at the old Maple Leaf Gardens, Dundas Square, Eaton Centre, Restaurants and Entertainment.  It’s all here.

YC Condos is located within 1km of 158,000 Workers & Students

People want to live close to work.  There is an incredible 158,000 workers and students within a 1km radius of YC Condominiums.

A couple of the highlights are:

HOSPITALS

  • -8,600 employees at Toronto General
  • -8,600 employees at Sick Kids Hospital
  • -5,000 employees at Mount Sinai Hospital
  • -2,900 employees at Princess Margaret Hospital
  • -830 employees at Women’s College Hospital

UNIVERSITIES

  • -76,000 students & employees at University of Toronto
  • -41,000 students & employees at Ryerson University

OTHER NOTABLES

  • -7,000 employees at MaRS Discovery District I & II
  • -4,000 employees at Eaton Centre
  • -3,300 employees at 777 Bay Street

The existing condominiums at College Park attract what we call the “Golden Ticket to Rentals” in Toronto: Students, Hospital Workers and Financial District Professionals.  YC Condos will be no different.

The PATH Network Will Eventually Connect to College

The PATH network is Toronto’s underground network, and condominiums with close access to the PATH are highly desirable.  The PATH currently ends at Gerrard Street but will be connected to College Park literally outside your front door at YC Condos.

This will significantly increase the draw to this location – an area that is already one of Toronto’s most sought after area.
