Post House Condominium will house 280 luxury affordable residences all with modern open concept floor plans and 9 ft ceilings where applicable. Each suite will feature a contemporary European designed kitchen and prevailing up to the minute finishes.

Post House Condominium is conveniently located on George St. just north of Adelaide and within walking distance to all your local amenities, and just a few minutes walk to the King Subway Station.

Take a stroll over to the St. Lawrence Market and take in the ambiance of the fresh fruit vendors or let the aromas of the hot lunches tantalize you. Although in the heart of it all, there is still plenty of green space in the area. Grab a book and take a walk to St. James Park. Here, you can relax and take in the architectural surroundings from the gothic styling of the St. James Cathedral, to the towers of the financial district and even the CN Tower.
