Cosmopolitan

Whenever we hear of condos available inside a hotel, we are immediately intrigued. For one, hotels are held to a different standard, since they need to attract visitors on a daily basis. And not only are the Cosmopolitan Condos set within a <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto</a> hotel, they inhabit a hotel that made it onto Cond&eacute; Nast Traveler&rsquo;s Hot List back in 2006.At that time, the building had been around only a year: the 2005-built residences at 8 Colborne Street arrived on the scene thanks to Skyline International Development Inc. The Cosmopolitan Condos span 26 floors, with the boutique building only home to 97 <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos">Toronto condos</a>.If we bought a place at 8 Colborne Street we&rsquo;d surely be tempted to bribe hotel staff to put chocolates on our pillows in the mornings, however for most residents the abundant amenities are more than enough. Not only do residents have access to a gym, party room, concierge, meeting room, guest suites, and parking, but thanks to its dual status as a hotel residents can make regular visits to the Shizen Spa or the wine bar as well.To top it all off, the bragging rights are real at 8 Colborne: the Cosmopolitan Hotel has hosted a star-studded lineup of guests in the past, including Vince Vaughn and Kate Hudson, to name a few.

With its location at King and Yonge, the Cosmopolitan Condos really deserve the name that they have. Residents are lucky enough to reside within the busy <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/st-lawrence">St. Lawrence neighbourhood</a>, while the privacy that comes along with being tucked away on Colborne Street is an added bonus.Options for entertainment are endless with 8 Colborne as a starting point. St. Lawrence, the Financial District, the Entertainment District, the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/distillery-district">Historic Distillery District</a>, and the Harbourfront are just a couple of areas waiting to be explored by residents.Fans of live entertainment can visit venues such as Roy Thompson Hall, the Princess of Wales Theatre, the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, or the Rogers Centre, all of which are a quick walk or trip on the subway away. Shopaholics will rejoice, thanks to their close proximity to the Eaton Centre, while foodies will never grow tired of taking a stroll over to St. Lawrence Market.While the vast array of restaurants along King and Queen Streets will be tempting enough, those who prefer to cook can take a 7-minute walk over to the Market by Longo&rsquo;s on King West, a 5-minute stroll toward the Metro on Front, or a 6-minute trip to the Saks Food Hall at Queen and Yonge.Those who love hosting out-of-towners will love how close they live to major Toronto attractions. The CN Tower, Ripley&rsquo;s Aquarium, Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, and Roger&rsquo;s Centre are all just a short walk away.

The bragging doesn&rsquo;t have to stop there either, thanks to the fact that a penthouse unit was once featured on an episode of Designer Guys. This awe-inspiring home also happens to boast 24-foot ceilings, a solarium, and a massive terrace to boot.But since there are only one of these gems, the rest of the condos should also be discussed. <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condos for sale</a> at 8 Colborne Street are accessible even to first time buyers, thanks to the cozier condos available, perfect for just one or two. Sizes range from around 300 to 1,500 square feet, meaning even those with small families can find a comfortable home in the Cosmopolitan Condos.Separating these homes from the standard cube condo are elements such as floor to ceiling windows, and modern kitchens. Hardwood floors can also be found throughout the building, adding warmth to these already bright spaces.

However one likes to get around, living at 8 Colborne is convenient as can be: cyclists, pedestrians, drivers, and public transit users alike can reach all areas of the city in no time.For those who tend to stick to two wheels, the Martin Goodman Trail will come in handy. This car-free route is great for cyclists who want to head east or west, as it hugs the lakeshore for 56 kilometres. Alternatively, bike lanes along Richmond and Adelaide will certainly come in handy for bicycle commutes.Drivers can head down to the Gardiner Expressway, from which they can zip around the southern edge of the city. This route also provides access to the Don Valley Parkway to the east and the 427 to the west.And last but not least, TTC travel is made simple thanks to the location next to Yonge Street. Hopping onto the subway at King Station allows passengers to head north or south, while King streetcars are ideal for those heading east or west.

Following deindustrialization, the city subsidized the neighbourhood&rsquo;s development. With some projects completed as late as the 1990&rsquo;s, the St. Lawrence neighbourhood is now celebrated as a triumph in urban planning, and an exemplar for future endeavours in the field.Thanks to such efforts by the municipal government, the neighbourhood still offers a combination of reasonably priced rentals, co-ops, private homes, lofts, and St. Lawrence condos. Along Front Street, original 19th century homes showcase the red and yellow brick popular in Georgian style constructions. Hard lofts retain similar qualities &mdash; the red brick exterior of the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/81a-front-st-st-lawrence-market-lofts">St Lawrence Market Lofts</a>, for example, dates back to 1837, while the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/90-sherbourne-st-80-sherbourne-st-imperial-lofts">Imperial Lofts</a> is situated in a converted 1930&rsquo;s yellow brick optical warehouse.Because the neighbourhood caters to such a wide demographic, <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/st-lawrence/condos-for-sale">St. Lawrence condos for sale</a> follow suit, and are available in a range of different price points, with varying amenities and finishes.

The Locals: A diverse crowd predominantly made up of young professionals and budding familiesCode of Conduct: Locals take advantage by visiting the market during off-peak hours.What You&rsquo;ll Find: Antiques, architecture, and artisanal treats.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: Vast open spaces &mdash; green or otherwise.The Homes: Everything under the sun: subsidized rentals, condos, private homes, and lofts both hard and soft.Sealing the Deal: Living within arm&rsquo;s reach of more attractions than you can possibly keep track of.

Downtown

Thanks to its location directly east of the Financial District, the St. Lawrence neighbourhood is within walking distance of countless restaurants, shops, attractions, and of course transportation hubs.King Station takes less than 10 minutes to reach on foot from the centre of the neighbourhood, and from there, passengers can catch subway trains heading north or south along the Yonge line. Just one stop south of King is Union Station, where those heading out of the city can access VIA Rail trains, GO buses and trains, and UP Express trains that carry travelers to Pearson International Airport.While most residents of St. Lawrence might prefer to the leave the car at home, the Gardiner Expressway is just south of the neighbourhood for fast travel around the city.

St. Lawrence has a noteworthy past: it was the earliest industrial area in York around the turn of the 19th century. Sitting in a spot that was once below the shoreline of Lake Ontario, the neighbourhood was artificially filled in to afford more land to the shipping industry.Today St. Lawrence features two defining elements: The Esplanade and the St. Lawrence Market. While The Esplanade boasts shops, restaurants, hotels, and plenty of green space, the Market is certainly the neighbourhood&rsquo;s pi&egrave;ce de r&eacute;sistance.Today, Toronto is bursting with summertime farmer&rsquo;s markets, although few know that this trend dates all the way back to 1803. The tradition continues with Saturday markets held in the north end of St. Lawrence Market building, as well as in various parks around the city. The market is also open Tuesday through Saturday, when shoppers can visit permanent vendors such as St. Urbain Bagels, Carousel Bakery (whose peameal sandwich is a must try), as well as those specializing in artisan meat and cheese, and fresh produce.Like its easterly neighbour, the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/distillery-district">Distillery District</a>, St. Lawrence also advocates for the arts: the St. Lawrence centre for the Arts and the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts both reside in the area. Between cultural institutions, amenities, parks, and the market itself, St. Lawrence is a family-friendly neighbourhood that appeals to a range of incomes and cultural backgrounds.St. Lawrence condos also attract an assortment of different types &mdash; career driven professionals who work in the Financial District, artists, students, and empty nesters who are yearning for the downtown experience.
