Top Reasons to Invest at The United Bldg. 1. Rarely Offered Direct Connection to the Subway Proximity to Subway is one of the first items we look for when evaluating a new condominium. Direct connection is a huge bonus and is very rarely offered. This unique feature will help set United apart from the other condo projects. 2. Rarely Offered University Avenue Location Residential buildings along University Avenue are relatively rare (especially when compared to Yonge Street, the other Subway corridor in Toronto). Besides The Residences at the Shangri La and 488 University, there is limited options of a new condominium in this prime corridor. 3. Steps to 5 Major Universities The Hospitals of Toronto are some of the best medical facilities in the World and employ thousands of people. 481 University is just steps to the major hospitals and research centres including Toronto General Hospital, SickKids, Princess Margaret, Mount Sinai and Women’s College. This makes up a huge pool of potential tenants and buyers for a very limited number of high quality residential real estate in close proximity. 4. Connected to 220,000 sq.ft. office space The United Bldg. will feature 220,000 sq.ft. of office space. This will be brand new high tech office space in one of Toronto’s most central and prime locations which should attract excellent companies to set up shop. The tenant pool for people living within the same building will be a unique opportunity for investors at 481 University. 5. A very very very prime location The term Prime Location sometimes gets thrown around a little too loosely. University and Dundas offers everything you would want; it is centrally located and offers quick access to all of Toronto’s most sought after amenities. The site features a practically perfect 99/100 WalkScore and 100/100 TransitScore. About The United Bldg.

Direct Subway Access One of The United Bldg.’s most sought after features is a direct connection to the Subway. Residences will be able to get to the Dundas TTC Subway Station without going outside. This is a rare offering in condominiums in Downtown Toronto, and we often see premiums attached to both resale and rental rates for buildings with a direct connection. Transit Oriented We often advise our clients to consider transit oriented condominiums for investment. Proximity to a subway station is often one of the first items we look for when evaluating a site, and condos with direct access don’t come by very often. Obviously with a direct subway connection, you have the entire City within reach with easy access to the the Financial District, the ACC, Yorkville, Eaton Centre, UofT, Ryerson University and so much more.
