SQ2 at Alexandria Park | 80 Vanauley Street
SQ2 at Alexandra Park | A Smart Buy in a Rapidly Changing Downtown Pocket
📍 80 Vanauley St– Queen West
SQ2 at Alexandra Park is the second phase of Tridel’s ambitious downtown revitalization project, following the success of SQ Condos next door. If you know SQ’s white, cube-like design, SQ2 flips the look—same modern LEGO-style aesthetic, but in a sleek dark grey. The two buildings mirror each other in a way that feels intentional, giving the area a bold, modern identity.
Let’s talk location. Alexandra Park is in the middle of a major transformation, much like Regent Park a few years ago. If you’re a savvy buyer looking for long-term appreciation, this is one of those spots where you can get in early and ride the wave.
Inside, Tridel’s solid construction and thoughtful finishes make a difference. Some suites have soaring 10-foot ceilings, the lobby is sleek and modern, and the his-and-hers steam rooms are a rare condo perk. Plus, there’s a surprising amount of outdoor space for a downtown high-rise, including a resident-only green space and free visitor parking—which is basically a unicorn amenity downtown.
SQ2 is ideal for buyers who want a stylish, well-built condo in an area that’s evolving fast. If you love Queen West, Kensington Market, and Chinatown, but also want a quieter place to retreat at the end of the day, this one’s worth a serious look.
