![Shiny blue glass exterior of 488 University Avenue in Toronto.](https://winslai.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1-488-university-ave-toronto-blue-building.jpg)
Despite being named “The Residences of 488 University Avenue,” the building is in fact a mixed-use property.
The ground floor is home to a shimmering 3-storey podium with retailers and a signature restaurant.
Above it are 18-floors of office space, while the remaining 37 levels are dedicated to residential suites.

While a lot of condos claim to be beautiful, 488 University Ave proves it with 4 International Property Awards.
These include Best Architecture, Best Residential High-Rise, Best Condo and Best Interior Design.
Inside and out, 488 University Ave is a winner.

It reveals that the condo is spacious and well-lit by wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows.
It also shows the quality and craftsmanship you can expect, from the sleek kitchen island to the sturdy hardwood floors.
