Q Condos (20 Queen St N) | 34 fl | Proposed

[jeffster]

Seen from above, the current building has an H-shaped footprint and is appears to be the result of one if not two additions. Beyond the portion that immediately fronts Queen St, I wonder how much of the rear portion has the fine woodworking interior.

I also wonder what condo owners in the building will do once the Duke St parking garage reaches capacity. Will it be a cat-and-mouse game of parking in a non-8 Queen designated spot and hoping that you're not ticketed? Will the Museum be able to handle the drop in car traffic from visitors?

Why do downtown condo owners need parking? It is a 5 minute walk to the ION stations and several bus routes.

Lots of reasons. Not every workplace is close to reliable transit. Not everyone has the same work schedule as the transit either. But obviously if you're buying a condo like this, you need to be thinking if you can rely on transit solely, or other methods (like walking, biking).

Ideally, you work close, or at least on the mainline, and have no need for a car. Ideally.
