Moving in Harbourfront

Harbourfront is condo towers almost end to end along Queens Quay, and they move the same way: book the service elevator, file the certificate of insurance, load from the underground dock.

What makes Harbourfront different from other downtown clusters is the traffic. Queens Quay is a single corridor with streetcar tracks down the middle, and events at the waterfront or on the islands can close it or back it up for hours. We schedule loading around the event calendar, not into it.

A number of the older waterfront buildings also have height-restricted underground entrances that a five-tonne truck cannot use, so we confirm the clearance for your building before the day.

How long it takes

A Harbourfront one-bedroom is typically 3 to 4.5 hours.

With a booked service elevator and an underground dock these are fast moves. Queens Quay traffic and event closures are the main thing that changes them.

FAQs

Harbourfront Moving Questions

How long does a Harbourfront condo move take?

A one-bedroom is typically 3 to 4.5 hours with a booked elevator; a two-bedroom 4 to 6.

Will your truck fit the underground dock?

In many buildings yes, but several waterfront towers have low clearance. We check your building first and load at street level where the dock will not take a truck.

Does waterfront event traffic affect the move?

It can. Queens Quay closes or backs up during major events, so we check the calendar and schedule loading around it.

Do you file the insurance certificate?

Yes, at no charge, sent to your property manager before the day. Most Harbourfront buildings require it before releasing the elevator.

How is the price worked out?

Hourly for the crew plus one truck and travel charge, with no waterfront surcharge. Rates are on our Toronto moving cost page.
