Fantastic amenities and a great location would be meaningless without quality suites &mdash; fortunately, that&rsquo;s exactly what you&rsquo;ll find at 750 Bay St. There are 220 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto condos</a> in this building, all of which are bright and spacious, with open concept layouts, ensuite laundry, private balconies &mdash; some have 2 private balconies &mdash; and spacious bedrooms. Suite sizes range from roughly 500 square feet, to over 1100 for a 2 bedroom + den.The Penrose was completed in 1999, and some units may feature different finishes than others based on past renovations; which makes this a great opportunity for potential buyers, because with can&rsquo;t beat location and spacious layouts, putting your own personal touch on a unit could yield a nice return in the future.Another enticing factor is price point &mdash; condos in the Bay Street Corridor can easily fetch 7 figures, but The Penrose has suites which are reasonably priced and are below comparable units in other buildings in the area.

Old building but great amenities and three elevators. The concierge is gone most of the time but the staff is really nice.

The Penrose is super convenient if you're working in the medical or university district. I walk to work at the hospital in under 10 minutes. The building isn’t flashy, but it’s reliable and well kept. Elevators are fast and I’ve never had issues with noise on my floor.

Been here almost a year. Great experience, older building but has pool, jacuzzi, gym and more. Three elevators, central HVAC and helpful management and security. Not much else you need in Toronto
