One City Hall Place, 토론토

Located in the City Centre area dubbed as “Little Tokyo,” it doesn’t really get more central than 111 Elizabeth Street. While different areas of Toronto peak in terms of trendiness, only to eventually wane, this location is one of the exceptions.

Set amidst the city’s foremost hospitals and universities, as well as business and commercial zones, One City Hall Place is, as Diamante puts it, “minutes from everything.” The Market by Longo’s even inhabits the ground level retail space, meaning residents need not go far for a freshly stocked fridge and pantry.

The Eaton Centre is also just a few blocks away: both a mall and a tourist attraction all rolled into one, this expansive shopping centre is one of the best in the city. In 2015 almost 50 million visitors walked through the mall, and its most notable new resident is Saks Fifth Avenue. Underground, the Saks Food Hall by Pusateri’s is a popular lunch spot for people who work in the area, and a great place to pick up a hostess gift before heading out for the evening.
