Aqualuna: The Art of Living on the Water

If you stand at the foot of Sherbourne Common and look east, you’ll see a lot of glass boxes. But then, your eyes will land on something different. Aqualuna (155 Merchants’ Wharf) doesn’t look like a condo; it looks like a sculpture.
As the fourth and final chapter of Tridel’s Bayside community, this isn’t just another building—it’s the grand finale. It’s for the buyer who wants to be in the city but needs the soul-soothing calmness of the lake right at their doorstep.

The Vibe: A Permanent Vacation

Living at Aqualuna feels less like a typical Toronto high-rise experience and more like checking into a luxury resort in Miami or Copenhagen.

• The Architecture: Designed by Danish architects 3XN, the building dips and rises in two distinct peaks. It’s designed to maximize sunlight, meaning the shadows don’t loom over you—they dance around the terraces.
• The “Valley” Life: The heart of the building is the 6th-floor amenity terrace located in the “valley” between the peaks. Imagine finishing a stressful week and heading down to the infinity pool that seems to spill right into Lake Ontario. It is quiet, breezy, and undeniably glamorous.

The Suite Experience

The biggest complaint about downtown condos is that they feel “closed in.” Aqualuna solves this.

• Outdoor Living Rooms: The balconies here aren’t just slivers of concrete for a bicycle. They are deep, angled terraces often finished with wood-grain decking. You have room for a full dinner table or a lounge set. It’s designed for actual outdoor living.
• The Light: Because of the building’s stepped design, the suites feel incredibly airy. You get the morning sun bouncing off the water, filling your living room with a natural light you just don’t get in the Financial District.

The Neighborhood: East Bayfront

This is the “New Toronto.” It’s clean, tech-forward, and incredibly walkable.

• The Commute: You are steps from the new tech hubs (like the Waterfront Innovation Centre). If you work in the core, the walk along the water’s edge promenade to Union Station is arguably the most scenic commute in the city.
• The Lifestyle: You have Aitken Place Park next door and the sugar-sand of Sugar Beach just down the promenade. It’s a neighborhood that forces you to slow down and appreciate the view.
