18 Beverley Street & 11-25 Soho Street

It’s only fitting that a condo development in Queen West — one of the most fashionable neighbourhoods in downtown Toronto — would have a few different looks…

Phoebe On Queen is a tale of 3 buildings — 18 Beverley St, 11-25 Soho Street. Each building is distinctly separate, with a unique exterior design, though all 3 properties have large warehouse style windows and are connected by a shared courtyard, which gives them a private community feel.

If you have an aversion to towering high-rises but enjoy the convenience that comes with them, Phoebe On Queen is the compromise you’ve been seeking — while none of these 3 buildings exceeds 8 storeys, residents enjoy a wide array of amenities: Gym, sauna, party room, meeting room, car wash, concierge, security guard, and parking garage.

With a condo here, your friends and family won’t feel left out either — parking can be a hassle downtown, fortunately your guests will feel welcome thanks to visitor parking. And everyone has a cousin or friend who breezes in and out of town and turns your couch into a bed, but with guest suites in the building, those days are over.

One thing which really sets Phoebe On Queen apart from other condo residences is that these 3 buildings offer a unique living arrangement — one features multi-floor townhouses, one offers apartment style condos, and one houses modern condos. With so much variety contained within a single residence, there are Toronto condos for sale here for any kind of buyer.

Because of the versatility of this development, suite sizes vary quite a bit, ranging from 450 square feet to 3503. Finishes vary as well, and while buyers can count on hardwood floors, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and track lighting, many suites have seen some form of personalization over the years.

As a bonus to animal lovers, these buildings are pet friendly, so your four legged friends are welcome — this also make these units a great choice for families who crave a downtown lifestyle.

As a resident of 18 Beverley St, 25 Soho St, or 11 Soho St, you have the best of Queen West sitting on your doorstep. And if shopping is your passion, you might need to exercise some restraint.

Queen Street boutique shopping is just steps away, for everything from upscale fashion and accessories, to vintage finds and DIY materials. In fact, Queen Street has so many shopping options that there’s even a rock store — seriously, it’s called Geologic, they sell fancy rocks, and it’s absolutely worth checking out.

While on your shopping excursion, you’ll likely need some fuel in the form of caffeine, and you’ll find no shortage of places to gets it; within a 5 minute walk you have Starbucks, Little Nicky's Coffee, Cafe Crepe, and Cozy Coffee Co. Should you venture further, there are countless cafes with piping hot espressos, just waiting for you to discover them.

Queen West is known for trendy bars, and as a resident of Phoebe On Queen, you’re positioned near some of the best — Horseshoe Tavern is a local watering hole with live bands, Cameron House has live music as well, DROM Taberna is a cool hangout with a great drink menu, Bar Hop Brewco is a haven for craft beer lovers, Cabin Five is a rustic cabin-like bar, and there are countless pubs and nightclubs nearby in King West.

For dining out you may want to make your way to King West more often than not, but there are plenty of great spots in Queen West; there’s the swanky Peter Pan Bistro, Queen Street Warehouse for burgers and tacos — name a better combination — Korean Grill House, Alo is on Spadina for upscale French, Ginger Restaurant for Vietnamese, and many more eateries, plus fast food chains as well.

Own a pair of shoes? Then you can run errands here. Phoebe On Queen has a 100 Walk Score, so residents can easily run errands on foot. There are several smaller grocery stores nearby and a Rabba Fine Foods on Simcoe, so grocery shopping can also be accomplished without a vehicle or public transit.

For those who rely on public transit to get from point A to B, there are east and westbound streetcars on Queen, north and southbound streetcars on Spadina, multiple bus routes in the area, and Osgoode Station is within walking distance for subway lines.

Car owners can reach the nearest highway in a hurry, by heading south on Spadina for the Gardiner Expressway — although, if your building has a 100 Walk Score, it’s all but mandatory that you drive as little as possible… it’s not, but it should be.
