Inside a park-facing 1+Den at Saturday at Downsview
The floorplan
The 1+Den at Saturday at Downsview is the building's most requested plan, and the park-facing stack is the most requested version of it. Roughly 650 square feet, with a den that genuinely functions as an office — not a closet with delusions.
The kitchen is linear and efficient, the bedroom takes a proper queen with side tables, and the living area opens onto a balcony that faces the treeline rather than the courtyard.
What the exposure is worth
The park-facing premium is real but bounded. Buyers will pay for the view and the quiet; they will not pay for it twice. The units that sell best are the ones priced as a 1+Den first and a view second.
If you're buying for yourself and plan to stay five-plus years, the exposure earns its keep every single morning. If you're buying strictly on numbers, run the rent differential before paying up — park-facing leases move faster, but the rent gap is narrower than the price gap.
Who this plan suits
Singles and couples who work from home. The den is the difference between a condo you tolerate and one you actually live in. If that's your situation, this stack belongs on your shortlist.
