QWest Furnished Residences
Superior Spatial Value in the Financial District Triangle
QWest (168 Simcoe St.) remains a top-tier choice for the 2026 corporate market due to its generous floor plans, which significantly exceed the footprints of Toronto’s newer builds. Located at the intersection of Simcoe and Richmond, these suites offer immediate access to the Financial District and University Avenue. Following extensive 2024/2025 interior upgrades, QWest units now feature modern wide-plank flooring, premium furnishings, and full-sized kitchens. For 2026, QWest is the leading recommendation for clients who prioritize interior living space over building age. With a Walk Score of 99 and a Transit Score of 100, it provides the efficiency of a downtown core location without the cramped layouts of modern micro-condos.
“The suite sizes at QWest were a pleasant surprise. Having a separate, large dining area and a real living room made our 4-month relocation feel much less like a hotel stay and more like a home base.”
