About The Well condos

The Well is a mixed-use project on the former Globe and Mail site with 1.1 million square feet of office space, 500,000 square feet of retail and food services and about 1,700 residential units across six buildings. Three of the buildings are Tridel condominiums, and the others are rental towers.

The Google listing for the condominium at 470 Front Street West is rated 3.6 out of 5 from 42 reviews, 25 five-star and 12 one-star. Rental towers such as Residences at The Well Apartments (425 and 435 Wellington St W, 4.7 from 124 reviews) are separate buildings with separate listings.

Because the project mixes condos and rentals, search results for The Well mix both, so check which building a listing is for.

The completion year of 2023 is the date sources scheduled for the residential towers; one forum post gives 2024 for the 46-storey rental tower, and no source confirmed an exact condo completion date. The condo tower storeys (38, 22 and 14) are from UrbanToronto coverage. The condo unit count was not found.

The Well condos reviews: the Google rating
