125 Shoreview Place & 101 Shoreview Place

Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario — 125 Shoreview Pl is a stunning low-rise condo that exudes luxury and provides a scenic location for commuters. Sapphire Condos is situated in the desirable Lakeshore Stoney Creek pocket of Hamilton, an affluent community blending green spaces, convenient shopping, and excellent dining options all in one.

125 Shoreview Pl is a part of a planned community developed by New Horizon Developments, who are the same buildings behind the similarly styled Waterfront Trails Condos.

Residents of 125 Shoreview Pl have lakeside walking trails directly behind the building, and fantastic amenities to bolster their lakeside adventures; bicycle storage is particularly convenient, and there’s an on-site gym, and a rooftop deck with sweeping views of the water.

These Hamilton condos follow highly efficient open concept layouts, and floor plans are available from 1 to 3 bedrooms plus den — sizes range from 508 square feet to 1499 square feet. All units have floor to ceiling windows and large sliding patio doors that attract plenty of daytime light.

Finishes will vary between units, though the majority of homes have pre-engineered laminate flooring — some have hardwood — and neutral colour schemes. Kitchens come equipped with stainless steel appliances and sleek stone countertops; cabinet storage and prep space can be tight in smaller units, something for buyers to keep in mind.

Bedrooms are a reasonable size and main bedrooms have walk-in closets. Those who are fortunate enough to land a unit with a northern exposure will adore the peaceful waterfront views — and views of downtown Toronto when the weather is just right.

The Lakeshore Stoney Creek neighbourhood is a waterfront location that’s mostly made up of condo residences and small townhomes developments. There are lakeside walking trails aplenty, and small parks for picnics. The QEW divides the neighbourhood from the rest of Stoney Creek, and as a result, the property is a little bit isolated from local businesses.

Residents of 125 Shoreview Pl can drive south of their building to encounter a large commercial area with an assortment of retail options; there are home supply stores and a number of specialized shops. Restaurants are scattered throughout the area, with both locally owned diners like Chuggy's — also a bar — and well known chains such as Tim Hortons.

For more diverse dining and shopping options, there are countless shops and restaurants centered around Centennial Parkway and Barton St. Families have unique entertainment close by at Wild Waterworks, but there aren’t any schools within walking distance which could be a drawback for parents with young kids.

Life at 125 Shoreview Pl is all about the beach, unfortunately, that means sacrificing on convenience. Residents have no chance to run errands on foot and public transit service in the area is almost non-existent; the nearest bus stop on Barton St is almost a 20 minute walk from the condos.

Driving is the clear favourite method of travel for condo residents. Car owners can reach the closest on-ramp for the QEW in minutes via N. Service Rd; drivers can arrive in Hamilton in less than 10 minutes or drive to downtown Toronto in less than an hour.
