King West

Parc Lofts

When coming from Lamb Development Corp, the statement that the Parc Lofts are &ldquo;the best thing to happen to the King Street West neighbourhood&rdquo; really means something. Brad Lamb&rsquo;s team of developers has created a number of exquisite residential buildings in the area. And if you&rsquo;re not convinced yet, note that Lamb himself calls one of the two penthouses at 25 Stafford Street home.One of the major selling points of the Parc Lofts is &mdash; evidently&mdash; the park next door. Directly beside Stanley Park, the developers were so thrilled with the building&rsquo;s location that the styles of suites are named for noteworthy green spaces around the world: Vondel Park in Amsterdam, Park Guell in Barcelona, and the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, to name a few. The urban oasis that is the Parc Lofts also affords residents with clear views of the city.For a pleasant juxtaposition with the natural landscape, the building itself is futuristic in style. The 10-storey soft loft residence at 25 Stafford Street was completed in 2012, with the front constructed of angular glass, and the sides made of an edgy charcoal coloured brick.Modern amenities are plentiful here as well. Gas hookups for barbecues offer residents an outdoor cooking space, while a water supply on the balconies makes life easier for those residents with green thumbs. Residents can also make use of a communal party room, while the parking garage has plenty of room for friends and family who attend the gatherings there.

Stanley Park, directly beside the Parc Lofts, features an off-leash area for dogs, an outdoor swimming pool, and a basketball court. So while residents who are tempted to stick close to home will make great use of these facilities, other green spaces in the area are equally as attractive. Garrison Commons, Coronation Park, Trinity Bellwoods Park, Victoria Memorial Park, and St. Andrew&rsquo;s Playground are all within walking distance.The <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/king-west">King West neighbourhood</a> and Niagara area also provides plenty of entertainment for residents. Upscale spas such as Hammam and Body Blitz are around the corner for those who really like to indulge, while more regular appearances might be made at some of the local boutiques and intimate eateries in the area.Residents might need to flip a coin or consult a magic eight ball before dining out, due to the myriad of first-rate options. Date night could involve upscale sushi at Blowfish, ice cold pints from inside a converted Victorian-era home at Bar Wellington, or a 7-course meal that doubles as a feast for the eyes at Edulis.Between the generously sized Loblaws at Queen and Portland, and the Kitchen Table and Fresh &amp; Wild Food Market on King West, residents won&rsquo;t have to travel far to check items off of their grocery lists either.

With just over 100 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/lofts">Toronto lofts</a>, the Parc Lofts vary considerably in size. The homes range from approximately 500 to 2,800 square feet, with some spanning multiple levels. Lofts feature anything from one bedroom to two bedrooms plus den, and all are equipped with a balcony, patio, or terrace. Along the first floor of 25 Stafford, townhouse-style lofts feature private entrances that open directly to the street.The homes are provided with high quality, modern finishes, such as European style bathrooms, engineered hardwood floors, and sizeable sliding glass doors that lead into the bedrooms (frosted for privacy of course).Loft lovers will be pleased with the open concept layouts. Other quintessential loft features include ceilings that reach up to 11 feet high, floor-to-ceiling windows, and exposed concrete walls. And while industrial design features are profuse, prospective buyers seeking <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/king-west/condos-for-sale">King West condos for sale</a> can take note of the building&rsquo;s progressiveness &mdash; existing wiring is suited for state-of-the-art entertainment systems and high-speed internet connections.

Getting around is easy with 25 Stafford Street as a starting point. Residents can take a ride on the King streetcar for access to the St. Andrew subway station, or for travel both east and west. Alternatively, the 63 Ossington Bus stops one block from the Parc Lofts, and carries passengers toward Ossington Station on the Bloor-Danforth line.Drivers can access the Gardiner Expressway in no time, via Spadina or Jameson Avenue. From here, residents can travel about the city, or reach the 427 or Don Valley Parkway in no time. For an added bonus, residents can reach the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport in just 8 minutes via car, or 15 when using public transit.

Many King West condos are completely new creations; however, some hard loft conversions offer additional character as well as hints of times gone by. The <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/833-king-st-w-west-833">West 833</a> lofts exist within a perfumery from the 1930&rsquo;s; the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/781-king-st-w-gotham-lofts">Gotham Lofts</a> are sitting pretty inside a harness factory built at the turn of the 20th century. Options like these provide homeowners with modern amenities, a hint of authenticity, and of course bragging rights.Unsurprisingly, the condo scene in King West is quite robust &mdash; there are nearly 100 buildings in the neighbourhood, and prospective buyers will encounter everything from modest townhouse complexes to flashy high-rise towers. Amenities, features, and prices are just as diverse, though the neighbourhood isn&rsquo;t a great choice for anyone who&rsquo;s hunting King West condos on a restrictive budget.A Globe and Mail article once called developer Peter Freed &ldquo;the man who made King Street West.&rdquo; By building King West condo after condo, loft after loft, Freed has aided in the rapid growth of the King West neighbourhood and its ritzy reputation. Freed is not only responsible for billions of dollars worth of residential developments, but is on an ongoing mission to provide businesses such as trendy eateries and exclusive golf clubs for those who share his vision of an ideal Toronto lifestyle.And the residents that Freed&rsquo;s buildings beckon are typically far from frugal. Even international celebrities seem to understand the neighbourhood&rsquo;s newfound significance, especially as the setting for the Toronto International Film Festival has shifted from <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/yorkville">Yorkville</a> to King West since the opening of the TIFF Bell Lightbox in 2009. While stars such as James Franco and Marion Cotillard have stayed briefly at the Thompson Hotel, residents of the King West neighbourhood can choose to call <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/55-stewart-st-the-thompson-residences">The Thompson Residences</a> home year-round &mdash; yet another triumphant effort from Peter Freed.As proof of his love for the neighbourhood, Peter Freed even purchased the penthouse at <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/500-wellington-st-w-500-wellington-west">500 Wellington West</a> for himself. While the mastermind developer never ended up moving in, the home was placed back on the market in 2012 for another prosperous buyer to enjoy its 6,200 square feet, which includes a private rooftop terrace and pool.

Steakhouse, to swanky bars and clubs like the Citizen, and Early Mercy, King West is the epitome of urban luxury.It might be hard to believe, but the sophistication that now defines King West is a rather new development. In fact, the area was only deemed a residential zone as of the mid-1990&rsquo;s, prior to which factories churning out farming equipment comprised the bulk of the buildings. These factories are now repurposed, and serve as <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/king-west/condos-for-sale">King West condos for sale</a> &mdash; they also happen to be some of the most desirable and most expensive buildings in the neighbourhood.Some of the city&rsquo;s most prominent advertising agencies and art galleries are also located within the King West area.

Grassy spots such as HTO Park and Coronation Park also line the lakeshore below. For those who can afford it, King West has it all.
