The King East – 318 King Street East Another cool new east end loft devel­op­ment from Brad Lamb and his devel­op­ment com­pany. The King East is on the north­west cor­ner of King & Par­lia­ment, one of the most his­tor­i­cally sig­nif­i­cant inter­sec­tions of the old City of Toronto. The design was sup­pos­edly inspired by the his­tor­i­cal nature of the nearby Cork­town and St. Lawrence Mar­ket dis­tricts, but it came off look­ing way too mod­ern in my opin­ion. It is a smaller mid-rise build­ing, only 12 sto­ries high, con­tain­ing 215 soft loft / con­crete condo units was com­pleted toward the end of 2011. Units do not come up all that often, and they do sell fast. I find them a bit skinny for my lik­ing. Con­tact us today if this condo inter­ests you. ———-

River City – King & River Streets I really can­not wait to see how the whole new east water­front is going to turn out! And River City is a major part of the puz­zle.

King Plus Con­dos – King Street East & Sher­bourne Street I am still miffed they tore down the her­itage build­ing on the site, but such is life. Orig­i­nally Bauhaus, this condo had to be relaunched as King Plus before gain­ing any trac­tion. The devel­op­ment team claims to have designed a bou­tique res­i­dence which care­fully pre­serves the his­toric facade of the turn of the cen­tury hotel that once stood on the site and con­trasts strik­ingly with a sleek mod­ern glass tower ris­ing above it. There will be 132 con­dos in the 17-storey build­ing, rang­ing in size from 560 to 1,405 square feet. South fac­ing units on high floors should have a decent lake view.

Post House Con­do­mini­ums – 105 George Street I am scared, I hope they don’t ruin the old post office… one of the most impor­tant his­toric build­ings in Toronto, our first post office. Should have been off lim­its. But, it is not, so here we go, Alterra has done some nice work in the past. Post House Con­do­minium will be an ultra-modern res­i­dence in a sto­ried her­itage set­ting. A styl­ish new urban habi­tat steps from the St. Lawrence Mar­ket. Min­utes from the Dis­tillery Dis­trict. Might be com­pleted in 2013, the 21-storey condo will have 278 units rang­ing in size from 481 to 1,155 square feet.

Massey Tower – 197 Yonge Street Another one the scares me, build­ing this giant glass and steel tower on top of the gor­geous neo-classical bank facade of the old CIBC build­ing. Those two old banks are some of my favourite her­itage build­ings… at least they did not tear them down. MOD Devel­op­ments is going to put up 60 storeys of con­dos across the street from the Eaton Cen­tre. Hun­dreds of units will range in size from a tiny 378 square feet to a not very large max of 882 square feet. It cer­tainly has the loca­tion, we shall see if peo­ple go for the small­ish sizes.

Cork­town Mews – Raf­feix Lane at River Street Few can say they live only steps away from live the­atre, exquis­ite gal­leries, unique cafés, pubs, and award-winning restau­rants. Fewer can say that every­day, they return home to an inter­na­tion­ally acclaimed vil­lage, cross­ing brick-lined streets and ele­gantly restored her­itage build­ings, all filled with fash­ion, design, and jew­elry bou­tiques. At Cork­town Mews, you become one of the few.

The Star of Down­town – 225 Welles­ley Street Famous for hav­ing what is likely the worst web­site ever, plus some sim­ple ter­ri­ble mar­ket­ing. Many hate it, say­ing it is out of place and has ter­ri­ble archi­tec­ture. I see decent size units for fair prices. A lit­tle out on its own across the street from St. James Town, the loca­tion is not for every­one. But with old Cab­bage­town directly south, and the Par­lia­ment strip just to the east, there is a lot to like. The Art Deco style condo was com­pleted in 2009 by Wil­low­field Homes. There are 152 suites avail­able in this 12-storey condo, along with 60 town suites. Ameni­ties include a fit­ness cen­tre with state-of-the-art equip­ment, spa, saunas, and rooftop ter­race.

Part of Cork­town Dis­trict Phase 1. My favourite, mainly because it is tucked away on Sumach Street, such a pretty lit­tle part of Cork­town. Con­tact us today if this condo inter­ests you. ———-

Cork­town Dis­trict – 549 King Street East Another build­ing the first phase of the multi-building Cork­town Dis­trict built by Street­car Devel­op­ments. Right on the cor­ner of King East and Sumach, it has a lux­ury car dealer on the main floor! I always rec­om­mend these units to my clients as I find them to be great value. I still see small­ish one-bedroom units for $250k or less, even in 2013. And the neigh­bour­hood is only going up up up, with the West Don Lands Project and Pan Am Games lit­er­ally next door. Con­tact us today if this condo inter­ests you. ———-

Cork­town Dis­trict – 569 King Street East The last of the 3 build­ings com­pris­ing Cork­town Dis­trict Phase 1, 569 King is the largest of the trio.

Another good value soft loft build­ing on the east side. And one with no car deal­er­ship! Con­tact us today if this condo inter­ests you. ———-

Cork­town Dis­trict Phase 2 – 510 King Street East The biggest of the Cork­town Dis­trict build­ings, this one on the north side of King East. While phase 1 seam­lessly incor­po­rated three ware­house inspired res­i­den­tial build­ings, phase 2 is a wel­come con­trast as it takes an evolved approach to archi­tec­ture while still remain­ing true to the heart and soul of Cork­town. Com­bin­ing mod­ern mate­ri­als with tra­di­tional design, 510 King has suc­ceed in bring­ing the final phase of the Cork­town Dis­trict to life. Offer­ing mul­ti­ple out­doors options such as punch out bal­conies and cas­cad­ing ter­races fac­ing south onto King Street, 510 King East pro­vides a wide array of selec­tion for today’s selec­tive home buyer.

The area of St. Lawrence to the east of the finan­cial dis­trict is the old­est area of Toronto. It fea­tures her­itage build­ings, the­atres, music, din­ing and many pubs. It is a com­mu­nity of dis­tinct down­town neigh­bour­hoods includ­ing the site of the orig­i­nal Town of York, which was Toronto’s first neigh­bour­hood, dat­ing back to 1793. The area boasts one of the largest con­cen­tra­tions of 19^th cen­tury build­ings in Ontario. Of par­tic­u­lar note are the St. Lawrence Hall, St. James’ Cathe­dral, St. Michael’s Cathe­dral, St. Paul’s Basil­ica, the Enoch Turner School House, the Bank of Upper Canada, Le Royal Meri­dien King Edward Hotel, and the Good­er­ham Build­ing. Fur­ther to the east is Cork­town and the Dis­tillery District.

Cork­town is an his­toric Old Town neigh­bour­hood in down­town Toronto. It is just south of Regent Park and north of the Gar­diner Express­way, between Berke­ley Street to the west and the Don River to the east. The south­ern part of this area bor­ders, but is not part of, the Dis­tillery Dis­trict and con­tains many vacated indus­trial build­ings, some in use by pro­duc­tion and movie stu­dios. The West Don Lands, slated to be rede­vel­oped over the next few years, will encom­pass the south-east cor­ner of this area.

The Dis­tillery Dis­trict is an his­toric and enter­tain­ment precinct located east of down­town Toronto. It con­tains numer­ous cafes, restau­rants and shops housed within her­itage build­ings of the for­mer Good­er­ham and Worts Dis­tillery. The 13-acre dis­trict com­prises more than 40 her­itage build­ings and 10 streets, and is the largest col­lec­tion of Vic­to­rian era indus­trial archi­tec­ture in North America.

Cab­bage­town is a neigh­bour­hood located on the east side of down­town Toronto. It com­prises “the largest con­tin­u­ous area of pre­served Vic­to­rian hous­ing in North Amer­ica”, accord­ing to the Cab­bage­town Preser­va­tion Asso­ci­a­tion. Cabbagetown’s name derives from the Irish immi­grants who moved to the neigh­bour­hood begin­ning in the late 1840s, said to have been so poor that they grew cab­bage in their front yards. Cana­dian writer Hugh Garner’s most famous novel, Cab­bage­town, depicted life in the neigh­bour­hood dur­ing the Great Depression.

While the neigh­bour­hood sur­round­ing Church and Welles­ley is home to the com­mu­nity cen­tre, parks, bars, restau­rants, and stores cater­ing to the LGBT com­mu­nity (par­tic­u­larly along Church Street), it is also a his­toric com­mu­nity with Vic­to­rian houses and apart­ments dat­ing back to the late 19^th and early 20^th cen­tury. Many LGBT peo­ple also live in the nearby res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods of The Annex, Cab­bage­town, St. James Town, St. Lawrence, Riverdale and the Gar­den Dis­trict, and in smaller num­bers through­out the city and its suburbs.
