Movin' on Up

Well we're movin on up,
To the harbour side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the harbour side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

We have some breaking news--come April 30 we'll be moving into the heart of downtown Toronto, into the Harbour View Estates tower, located within the CityPlace complex.

CityPlace is a recent planned urban community bordered by the Fashion District and Entertainment District to the north-west and north-east respectively and Harbourfront to the south.

The accompanying photo shows the south view of our new building, which is where our future unit is way up on the 42nd floor. We'll have windows in our living room and bedroom overlooking the Harbourfront, Toronto Islands, and Lake Ontario.

One of the biggest draws to the building is the 30,000 sq-ft "Super Club", which offers a 25-metre swimming pool, a full-size gymnasium, jogging track, whirlpool, cardio, weight and conditioning rooms, a squash court, bowling lanes, a billiards room and an outdoor tennis court. There's also a 20-person theatre, an indoor golf simulator, a karaoke room, an Internet cafe and a juice bar.

In addition to being a mere 15-minute walk from work I am excited to be moving super close to two dear couples who live in the area (we're talking 5 minutes away) and being able to easily walk over to the St Lawrence Market, Corktown, and the Distillery Disctrict, three of my favourite areas in the city.
