If you are moving to Riverside Square, congratulations! You are officially unpacking your boxes in one of Toronto’s most vibrant, fast-growing, and highly sought-after east-end communities.
Nestled right at the edge of Queen Street East and the Don Valley Parkway, the location is unbeatable. But as anyone who has ever lived in a high-rise knows, moving day in a major Toronto condo complex requires a bit of logistical gymnastics.
To help you skip the move-in day stress and get settled faster, here is your ultimate practical guide to navigating your first week at 45 Baseball Place—from booking the loading dock to figuring out where to park.
1. Booking the Elevator and Loading Dock
You cannot simply show up with a U-Haul and start moving furniture into the lobby. Like all major Toronto condos, you must book the service elevator and the loading dock in advance.
Who to Contact: You will need to get in touch with the 45 Baseball Place property management office prior to your move. They handle the scheduling for the moving room and service elevator.
The Deposit: Be prepared to provide a refundable damage deposit (usually via a certified cheque or bank draft) before they hand over the elevator service key.
Pro-Tip: The end of the month is always the busiest time for condo move-ins. Try to book your elevator time slot at least two to three weeks in advance to ensure you get your preferred date and time.
2. Meeting the Concierge & Getting Your Fobs
The concierge desk is the central nervous system of Riverside Square. On day one, you will need to register yourself as a new resident.
Registration: Bring a copy of your lease agreement (if you are renting) or your closing documents (if you bought), along with your ID.
Fobs and Keys: Property management or the concierge will program your key fobs. Test them immediately on the front doors, the elevator sensors, and the amenity doors to make sure your access levels are correct.
Packages: The concierge will also explain the building's package delivery system. With the high volume of Amazon and courier deliveries, the building has specific protocols for notifying you when a parcel has arrived securely.
3. Navigating 45 Baseball Place Parking
Underground garages in massive condo complexes can feel like a maze during your first week.
Resident Parking: Ensure you know your exact parking spot number and which level it is on (e.g., P1, P2). Your fob will grant you access to the resident garage gates.
Visitor Parking: If you have friends coming over to help you unpack, 45 Baseball Place parking includes designated visitor spots. You will need to register your guests' license plates with the concierge or through the building's resident portal app to avoid them getting a pricey parking ticket.
Bicycle Storage: If you are a cyclist taking advantage of the nearby Don Valley trails, ask property management about securing a spot in the designated bicycle storage rooms, as bikes are typically not allowed to be tracked through the main lobby or elevators.
4. Setting Up Your Utilities and Internet
Don't wait until moving day to realize you have no Wi-Fi.
Internet: Riverside Square is a modern build, meaning it is wired for high-speed fibre internet. Providers like Beanfield or Bell typically service the building, offering incredibly fast and affordable packages for condo residents. Call them a week before your move to have your modem shipped or a technician scheduled.
Hydro/Water: Ensure you have set up your account with Toronto Hydro or the building's sub-metering provider (as specified in your lease or purchase agreement) so that the billing is transferred to your name exactly on your move-in date.
Welcome to the Neighbourhood!
Once the boxes are unpacked and the Wi-Fi is connected, step outside. You are just a short walk away from the Broadview Hotel, the incredible restaurants of Queen East, and the Don River trails.
