Coming Soon: Riverside Towns

From the ashes of Leslieville Lofts rises Riverside Towns. Leslieville Lofts ran into a lot of opposition in the Queen and Broadview (Riverside) community as well as zoning issues and ultimately was canceled.  Riverside Towns is now set for launch on the same site with VIP sales starting this Monday, November 1. For details and your opportunity to buy in this development before the public release, please contact me.

From the outside, this new project looks like your standard stacked-townhouse design that can be seen all over the city, a more traditional brick-based architecture that will likely fit into the existing area just fine. But the insides of the units are sounding very modern and edgy, with features that Brad Lamb’s projects are known for: gas cooking, euro-kitchens, stone counters, 9′ ceilings (never seen this before in stacked towns), and a generally clean-lined aesthetic.

I’ve said before that Riverside is a neighbourhood to watch over the next few years. I really think this area around Queen and Broadview as all the ingredients to be the next King West. Details are very limited on this project right now but likely units will sell quickly at Monday’s sales event regardless.

Coming Soon: Sync Lofts

Feb 9 Update: Floor plans and Pricing Available now for the VIP sales event. Contact me for more information.

Another boutique condo/loft building by Streetcar Developments is coming to Queen Street East: Sync Lofts. Contact me for info on the upcoming VIP sales event. The Riverside neighbourhood (Queen and Broadview) will be one to watch over the next 5 years. This small pocket has the real potential to become the next King and Bathurst – one of the hottest areas downtown right now. It has all the ingredients of a neighbourhood that is about to ‘pop’: furniture shops, restaurants, coffee houses, historical buildings, excellent transit, and plenty of hipsters. Riverside is good, but not great right now – there is still time to ‘get in’ before this area is fully gentrified.

The building will be 8 storeys and house 97 units. Unique selling features will include built-in iPod docking station with pre-wired speakers, and built-in wifi connectivity – hence the name ‘Sync’.

Units at Streetcar’s recently completed EDGE Lofts across the street from where Sync will be are currently selling in the resale market for approximately $500 Per Square Foot.

There will be a VIP sales opportunity for this project – contact me for more info.

Just Registered: Vinegar Co. Lofts

Queen City Vinegar Company Lofts at 19 River St is the latest condominium to be registered in downtown Toronto (as of about 2 weeks ago). Unit owners are now free to sell their units with no restrictions. Streetcar developments kept the occupancy period relatively short – only a few months for most purchasers. So kudos to Streetcar and congratulations to unit owners who are no longer paying occupancy fees!

Vinegar Company Lofts is a conversion of a 100 year old warehouse style building into 38 residential units. There is a mix of authentic lofts and new lofts in the building. Suite features include exposed brick and beam, stone counter tops, stainless steel appliances, high-end cabinetry, and ceiling heights as high as 14 feet.

Streetcar is keeping very busy in the area with other projects either completed or under construction including Broadview Lofts, Edge Lofts and the multi-phase Corktown District.

Once a forgotten area of the downtown, Corktown is quickly becoming a gentrified area with hundreds of new condos and homes either completed or under construction in the area around River and Queen Street. Still, the area is very much in transition and most area residents find themselves going east over the bridge to the Riverside neighbourhood (Queen and Broadview) for a great selection of coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. 

There is currently 1 unit still available for sale in the building – a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1046 sq ft penthouse that is listed at $499,900.

For more information on Queen City Vinegar Company Lofts please contact me.
