The Palace Pier

The Palace Pier rises 138 meters above Toronto's waterfront with 46 floors of luxury condominiums, featuring modern architectural design with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide panoramic views of Lake Ontario and the city skyline.

Completed in 1978 by architect Edward I. Richmond, The Palace Pier replaced the original amusement pier that operated from the early 20th century until its destruction by fire in 1963, transforming the site from entertainment venue to residential tower.

The building preserves the memory of the original Palace Pier entertainment complex through its name, which honored the historic amusement pier that once featured a ballroom, roller rink, theatre, and restaurants serving Toronto's community for decades.

The tower includes four elevators serving all 46 floors, with residents enjoying access to the Martin Goodman Trail, Humber Bay parks, nearby Sobey's grocery store, and convenient Highway 427 and TTC Humber Loop transit connections.

On clear days, residents can view both Lake Ontario's expanse and Niagara Falls from their units, while the building stands on the exact location where Toronto's largest entertainment pier once extended into the lake.
