Hip condo and loft project features artsy design
Site reflects eclectic spirit of neighbourhood
Packages take stress out of finish selection
Excerpt from an article by Shelly Sanders Greer - Toronto Star
Baywood Homes is bringing back a bit of that hip, artsy feeling with its new condominium project on Queen St. West, aptly named Bohemian Embassy.
Queen St. West has always been an eclectic neighbourhood with unusual boutiques and specialty shops mixed in with Victorian and industrial buildings. Bohemian Embassy has been designed almost as a piece of art, which adds to the existing architecture.
The Bohemian Embassy will have 345 suites, including a number of flats and two-storey lofts.
They were designed by II by IV Design and range from 475-square-foot, one-bedroom units to large, 940-square-foot, two-bedroom-plus-den, two-storey lofts.
Prices start at $159,900 and go to the mid-$400,000s.
Pieper explains that purchasers can choose from four standard packages with various colours and tones. The finishes are high-end, with natural quartz stone countertops, vessel sinks and laminate floors throughout.
Since the Bohemian Embassy opened for sales on Sept. 20, hundreds of people have been through, with 400 appointments booked on one Saturday alone.
“Our demographics include first-time buyers and well established people who work in the financial district,” says Pieper. “This is an up-and-coming community, the cultural capital with many venues here used during the Toronto Film Festival.”
Local artists and artisans were recruited by Baywood Homes to help with the design and decoration of the pavilion.
