I really like West Harbour City @ Bathurst and Lakeshore. The quality is great and location is downtown, but doesn't quite feel like it due to proximity to park and water.
Most offer easy commutes whether you drive, walk, cycle or take the LRT that runs along Queens Quay into Union Station. Most condos along the waterfront are within a 15-25 minute walk to the business district.
Here's a few I know a bit about
Infinity, some good suites, good views and close to York Street.
I've heard good things about Tip Top lofts, haven't been in there though. Great location, brilliant conversion and I recall some of the floorplans being really good.
Waterclub on Queens Quay has some well designed suites (1 & 2 bdrm), some great city or lake views and close to York Street.
King's Landing is an older building with generous sized suites, great lake views and located just west of Spadina Ave.
The Radisson condos are smashing but big $$$ if you have it and they don't come up for sale often.
I think tiptop would be quite far? I tried walking from Spadina and bremner to West Harbour City once and it took 20 minutes. It looked close but it took awhile to walk there. So from Tip Top I think it would take around 40 minutes to walk to financial core.

The older bldgs (33-55-65-77-99 Harbour Square) should also be considered as they have free shuttle into the city, a built-in restaurant, the largest facilities and spacious units topped with many indoor and outdoors amenities.
They are also right across from the TTC takes you right into Union.
Most of the new buildings are great, too, but they have smaller units in general and not as many amenities, and no shuttle or restaurant, or "Harbour Room" which is the grand room overlooking the lake at 33.
You might take into consideration where the closest Blue Night service is as well. That means near the 310 Bathurst or the 320 Yonge. 320 Yonge has more frequent headways than the 310 Bathurst.
When you say "newest", are you implying already built and registered?
If not, I think that Pier 27 offers an amazing location (one of the last on the lake's shore), with a cool design, and very easy access to the financial district as well as other transportation routes.
