"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.

Riverside Square offers a genuinely wide range of layouts, which is part of what makes it appealing to such a broad mix of buyers — from first-time buyers to growing families. Here's how to think about matching a layout to how you actually live.

One-Bedroom & One-Bedroom + Den

The most liquid segment of the building on resale, and typically the easiest to lease. A den layout is worth the (usually modest) price premium if you work from home even occasionally — a defined workspace changes daily life more than most buyers expect.

Two-Bedroom Layouts

Riverside Square's two-bedroom units tend to appeal to two very different buyer types: young families wanting to stay downtown-adjacent, and roommate/co-buyer arrangements splitting costs. Look for split-bedroom designs (bedrooms on opposite sides of the unit) if privacy between occupants matters — a genuinely useful distinction that a floorplan on paper doesn't always make obvious.

Larger & Premium Layouts

For buyers prioritizing space over walkable proximity to the Financial District, Riverside Square's larger layouts offer meaningfully more square footage per dollar than comparable downtown-core buildings — a direct result of the River District's slightly less central (but still highly connected) location.

What to Check Regardless of Layout

  • Exposure and natural light — matters as much as square footage for how a unit actually feels day to day.

  • Storage — in-unit storage varies more than buyers expect between otherwise similar layouts; ask specifically.

  • Parking and locker availability — not guaranteed with every unit; confirm before you fall in love with a specific layout.

The Bottom Line

The "best" Riverside Square layout is the one that matches your actual daily routine — not the biggest unit your budget allows. A well-chosen one-bedroom + den often serves a work-from-home buyer better than a poorly laid out two-bedroom.
