Backstage Condos – Building Details

Across-the-street view of Backstage on the Esplanade condo surrounded by other buildings and with a glass and concrete pedestrian bridge over traffic.
A pedestrian bridge connects Esplanade residents directly to Toronto PATH.

The elevated walkway provides a scenic, weatherproof passage to the underground PATH network, including transit hubs like Union Station, making travel fast, easy and convenient.

At 36-storeys, the tower features a projecting podium of glass and limestone, a curved facade, and a large wall-mounted bronze sculpture of an eagle by Canadian artist Dean Drever.

Esplanade residents also enjoy a range of luxury amenities, a storage locker, and underground parking.

Thanks to direct PATH access, getting around is a breeze, with the best of Toronto a short walk or bus ride away, from restaurants and retail to iconic venues like Meridian Hall.

About The Financial District

As the hub of Canada’s banking sector, the Financial District caters to an elite crowd (Can Pac Swire).

According to Destination Toronto:

Toronto’s bustling business core is home to the city’s top corporate headquarters, banks and firms—along with noteworthy lunch and happy hour spots—packed neatly into steel and glass skyscrapers.

As a result, the neighbourhood offers unrivalled job opportunities.

For example, it contains all 5 of Canada’s biggest banks, countless company HQs, hundreds of startups, and office space for over 200,000 people.

Living in the Financial District means easier access to employment (Andrew Milligan sumo).

  • Cantina Mercatto (Italian)

  • Biff’s Bistro (French)

  • Tahini’s (Mediterranean)

  • aKin (Chinese)

  • Chotto Matte (Japanese)

  • Sukhothai (Thai)

From Chinese to Vegan, you’ll find your favourite food close by (Change C.C).

And because of its connection to Toronto PATH, there’s no shortage of retail options.

Toronto.ca explains:

The PATH is a mostly underground pedestrian walkway network in downtown Toronto that spans more than 30 kilometres of restaurants, shopping, services and entertainment.

That includes 3.7 million sq. ft. of retail space, including over 1,100 shops, restaurants and businesses!
