45 BASEBALL PLACE CONDO | RIVERSIDE SQUARE CONDOS

"Riverside Square" isn't one building — it's four separate towers along Baseball Place, plus 665 Queen Street East, each with a slightly different character. If you're comparing them, here's what actually distinguishes one from the next.

15 Baseball Place

The original boutique building in the complex, known for open-concept industrial-style suites with floor-to-ceiling windows. It tends to appeal most to professionals and creatives drawn to the exposed-concrete aesthetic. Given its position as the first phase, resale and lease inventory here has the longest track record of the four buildings, which can make comparable-sales research easier for buyers doing due diligence.

25 Baseball Place

A stylish mid-rise positioned similarly close to Queen Street East and transit. Unit mix here tends to run efficient and rental-friendly, making it a common choice for investors targeting the South Riverdale tenant pool specifically — young professionals who want walkability to Queen East without downtown-core rent.

30 Baseball Place

Located deeper into South Riverdale's East End character, 30 Baseball Place leans into the "industrial cool meets modern luxury" identity the whole complex is known for, with exposed concrete finishes throughout. Of the four buildings, it currently shows the most active resale inventory, which gives buyers more direct pricing comparables to work with right now.

45 Baseball Place

The newest phase of Riverside Square, offering bright suites and curated amenities with city-skyline views. As the most recently completed building, it tends to command a modest premium over the earlier towers for buyers prioritizing newer finishes and systems over the older buildings' established track record.

665 Queen Street East

Technically a separate building from the four Baseball Place towers, but part of the same Riverside Square identity — 665 Queen blends heritage character with contemporary design, sitting right at the gateway to South Riverdale and Leslieville. It's the pick for buyers who want the neighbourhood's character-building feel over a purpose-built modern tower.

So Which One Should You Buy?

• Want the most resale/lease comparables to research before buying? Start with 15 or 30 Baseball Place.

• Buying purely as a rental investment? 25 Baseball Place's efficient unit mix tends to suit that strategy best.

• Want the newest building with the fewest years of wear? 45 Baseball Place.

• Want heritage character over a modern tower? 665 Queen Street East.

All five buildings share access to the same neighbourhood advantages — proximity to the Ontario Line's future Riverside-Leslieville station, the Port Lands revitalization we covered recently, and Queen Street East's retail and dining strip — so the "right" building comes down to unit-level fit more than location.

The Bottom Line

Riverside Square's four Baseball Place towers plus 665 Queen Street East all benefit from the same neighbourhood momentum, but they're genuinely different buildings with different buyer profiles. Knowing which one fits your goals before you start touring saves a lot of wasted showings.

If you want to understand why South Riverdale has become the most strategic real estate investment in Toronto this year, you have to look beyond transit and office towers. While the upcoming Ontario Line and the East Harbour commercial hub dominate the headlines, a multi-billion-dollar transformation is actively opening up right in Riverside Square’s backyard this summer.

The Toronto Port Lands Revitalization—one of the largest waterfront infrastructure projects in North America—is finally crossing the finish line in 2026. The historic rerouting of the Don River has created a brand-new island neighborhood (Ookwemin Minising), surrounded by sprawling, world-class green spaces.

Here is why the 2026 opening of these waterfront mega-parks is the ultimate "lifestyle catalyst" for the East End, and why it is aggressively driving up the value of condos at Riverside Square.

1. Biidaasige Park: Toronto’s New Crown Jewel

For years, the industrial Port Lands cut the East End off from the lake. That era is over. The centerpiece of the waterfront revitalization is Biidaasige Park, a massive 50-acre river valley park that is actively expanding its footprint this summer.

This isn't just a patch of grass. The City of Toronto and Waterfront Toronto are unveiling a world-class destination featuring:

• The Lassonde Art Trail: Opening this summer, this 4.2-kilometre waterfront promenade will feature 15 interconnected public art installations.

• Extensive Trail Networks: Miles of new cycling paths, boardwalks, and lookouts providing unprecedented views of the Toronto skyline and the Inner Harbour.

• New Water Taxi Docks: A brand-new dock is opening at the foot of Biidaasige Park in the summer of 2026, creating seamless water connectivity across the city.

2. South Riverdale’s Direct Connection

What does a waterfront park have to do with condos at Queen and Broadview? Unrivaled accessibility.

Because Riverside Square sits immediately adjacent to the Don River, residents essentially have a private green highway leading straight to the new island. You can step out of your lobby at 15 Baseball Place, hop on your bike, and ride the shaded Don Valley trails directly south into the heart of the Port Lands in minutes—completely avoiding city traffic.

The Port Lands project effectively turns Toronto’s newest, most spectacular waterfront park into Riverside Square’s extended backyard.

3. The "Green Premium" in Real Estate

In the dense, concrete landscape of downtown Toronto, immediate access to massive, curated green spaces is one of the rarest commodities.

Real estate data consistently shows that properties located within a short walk or bike ride to major, newly revitalized waterfront parks command a significant "Green Premium." For investors, this translates directly to tenant retention and higher rental yields. High-income professionals and young families are willing to pay top dollar to live in a modern building where they can easily escape to nature on the weekends without needing a car.

4. The 2026 Trifecta: Transit, Jobs, and Nature

To fully grasp the investment potential of Riverside Square in 2026, you have to look at the macro picture. No other neighborhood in Toronto is experiencing this specific combination of billion-dollar catalysts simultaneously:

1. The Transit Catalyst: The Ontario Line (Riverside-Leslieville Station) is under construction steps away.

2. The Economic Catalyst: The 130-acre East Harbour "Second Downtown" is rising just south of the neighborhood.

3. The Lifestyle Catalyst: The Port Lands and Biidaasige Park are opening up the waterfront.

If you wait for all three of these generational projects to be fully completed, the neighborhood will be priced entirely out of reach for the average buyer.

Capitalize on the East End Transformation

The smartest real estate play in Toronto right now is securing a move-in-ready unit in a neighborhood before its surrounding infrastructure is fully priced in. Whether you are looking for an industrial-style loft at 665 Queen Street E or a skyline-view suite at 45 Baseball Place, Riverside Square is perfectly positioned at the epicenter of this growth.
