Hi, toothfairy,
It is nice place and good neighborhood, little far from Toronto center city, It is about 20/22 Km from downtown by city road and 30/31 Km by Highway, By car it will take 20 to 30 minute, by Public transport 50 to 70 minutes.
hope that helps,

Toronto's first ever sky bridge lifted up. A land mark of Toronto.
Canada's first and world's second highest sky bridge
Concord 's Skybridge at Parade Raised Overnight
Walters Inc. raised the 320 tonne bridge that now links the two tallest towers at Concord Adex's Parade condominium complex on Fort York Boulevard in Toronto.
A two-storey span, the lower level will become a party room/lounge facility for residents in the Kohn Pedeseron Fox-designed Parade. The amenity space will have some glass floor portions, the windows in the underside can be seen in a number of the photos.
The upper level will be split between two suites, a 4,200 square foot suite accessed from the west tower, and a 3,600 square foot suite accessed from the east tower. Each suite will have rooms on three floors where the Skybridge joins the towers.
