560 Front Street W

Located at 560 Front St W, Reve is a strikingly stylish 14 storey building in the King West neighbourhood; the slate grey and burgundy exterior, coupled the unique, slanted box-like shape makes this property impossible to ignore. Additionally, the fact that this building is tucked into one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the city, only amplifies its stature.

Reve was built in 2011, and provides residents with a reasonable offering of modern amenities; gym, sauna, party room, cinema room, meeting room, shared rooftop deck, concierge, and parking garage. As well, often overlooked but always appreciated — guest suites and visitor parking is available, so your friends and family can stay the night without crashing on your coach or bothering you about street parking.

In light of King West’s youthful vibe, King West condos for sale are well suited to young professionals, couples, and first time home buyers. As a condo owner in this building, you’ll never need to stray far for dining, entertainment, and urban convenience.

If you’re now worried that this desirable building won’t have a unit for you — it’s not that exclusive; there are 305 units in Reve, ranging in size from 435 square feet for a studio to 1455 square feet for a 3 bedroom + den. These Toronto condos break the trend a little when comes to modern design, with many units that are irregularly shaped with corner windows and unsymmetrical floor plans.

The price of units in this building varies considerably, and can go beyond 7 figures for the largest suites, but even smaller more affordable units have desirable finishes — hardwood floors, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, soaker tubs in bathrooms, floor to ceiling windows, and some units have multiple floors. All units have balconies, and several units feature oversized terraces.

And should you ever feel claustrophobic in your condo, Garrison Common in only a few minutes away for walking trails at a historical site.
