The Gallery is home to 200 units, ranging in size from 420 square feet for a bachelor to 1231 for a 2 bedroom + den.As is often the case with older buildings &mdash; many suites have seen some upgrading, so finishes may vary.

The Gallery has a Walk Score of 99 &mdash; perfect for residents who prefer to run errands on foot. Those who rely on public transit have streetcars on College, buses on Bay, and College Station is just around the corner for the Yonge-University subway line.The Bay Street Corridor is not known as a driver-friendly area, but residents of 25 Grenville Street have only a short trip to major highways &mdash; head north on Yonge and then east on Bloor for the Don Valley Parkway, and head south on Bay for the Gardiner Expressway.

Been living here 7 years, first 3 were great but it has definitely dipped in quality since then with elevator upkeep

The building is a bit older but it’s held up well. My unit has a great layout and the ceilings are higher than most newer condos I’ve seen. Location is a major plus! Close to everything but still feels a bit tucked away. Elevators can be slow at times but nothing dealbreaking.
