The Altitude residential condominium building is a luxury building right in the heart of the city. Built in 2013 and with a prestigious address at 1225 Robert Bourassa (formerly University until 2016) it is located directly opposite Place Ville Marie, the cross shaped landmark office building which is known for its lighthouse rotating spotlights visible at night. There are a variety of unit types but most have 10 ft ceilings or more, large windows and open views over the east or west of the city. Most units also have balconies. Altitude is an expensive building due to its amenities and its prime location in the very heart of the business district. Altitude is just accross the street from Place Ville Marie which has an access to the underground city and is equidistant to the orange line (Bonaventure) and the green line (McGill). It is also just over five minutes walk to McGill University which makes it one of the closest buildings to this institution of academic excellence. Last but not least, the financial district is a stone's throw away. The building's amenities are some of the best in the city with an indoor swimming pool (with waterfall) and spa facilities as well as a party room for those special events, a billiards or 'pool' room, a gym, a common area terrace, a wine cellar, and golf simulator (yes, I kid you not) and a home cinema which looks and feels like the real thing. The building also offers a one bedroom unit should any of the buildings' residents require extra space for some guests... at a price of course. PROS: Hi-tech building with elegant lobby, valet parking, excellent amenities and all round well designed building and units. Its location is almost unique and will only be rivaled by TOM's condo once it is finished in 2018. CONS: Very expensive price per square foot makes for rather low returns on the investment side. The already high condo fees for a parking space are over $150 per month due to the valet parking. This may of course help the building more exclusive for those who are that way inclined.
