The Modern

Located in a rapidly changing neighbourhood &mdash; one that&rsquo;s becoming cooler by the day &mdash; the Modern Condos at 320 Richmond Street East fit right in. Slate-coloured brick, rectangular window panes, and groupings of balconies of various sizes make up the fa&ccedil;ade at 320 Richmond East, while a diverse group of residents inhabit the homes within.In the spirit of Toronto&rsquo;s respect for diversity and inclusion, the Toronto Congregation at Center Place is found within the building as well, where those interested can attend weekly Sunday services or participate in mindfulness meditation classes without leaving the building. Those uninterested in religion can skip Center Place, and instead browse through the other retail spaces that occupy the ground floor.While the exterior is contemporary as can be, the amenities found within the Modern Condos are set to impress any 21st century urbanite. Not only does the building boast a rooftop terrace with a pool, but also onsite is a games room, gym, sauna, party room, and even a pet spa. Out of town visitors will also love coming to see their friends and family, as they can refrain from imposing too much by booking a guest suite.

Alternatively, the Don Valley Parkway can be accessed via Queen Street East, which provides easy access up to the 401.Those who rely on TTC to get around, on the other hand, will want to head one block north or two blocks south to catch a streetcar heading toward the Yonge-University-Spadina subway line.

Love the rooftop here with the two pools and BBQ's. Great people as well in this building.
