875 Queen Street E

As if Leslieville & South Riverdale wasn’t delightful enough, in comes a new residential dream at 875 Queen Street East. While the neighbourhood has only increased in popularity over the years, the addition of these soft lofts is likely to push the area’s desirability factor through the roof.

The boutique soft loft is traditional, yet minimalist, thanks to designs by OFFICEArchitecture. Harhay Developments is also to thank, a firm that happens to specialize in intimate multi-residential structures such as the Parc Lofts and Abbey Lane Lofts.

What was once home to Woodgreen Church as well as Woodgreen Discount Drugs, the lot at 875 Queen East will once again feature part of Toronto’s coveted heritage. Storefronts will inhabit the original drug store structure along Queen East, as the original 1888-built façade that was taken apart will be reassembled during construction.

Spread out over only seven storeys, the Toronto condos for sale at 875 Queen East boast that airy soft loft vibe. This is a result of bright sunlight entering into living spaces through floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as exposed concrete for an industrial tough.

The 875 Queen East lofts will feel spacious as can be, thanks to their open concept layouts. And to top it all off, residents will have the chance to spend time in the great outdoors on their private balconies or terraces.

With its Leslieville location, the 875 Queen East will feel right at home, as lofts aplenty inhabit the surrounding area. Known as the laid-back alternative to the fashionable Queen West, prospective buyers of all sorts tend to be drawn to this neighbourhood.

Active types can be found exploring outdoor spaces such as Jimmie Simpson Park (which boasts an indoor recreation centre as well). Foodies, on the other hand, might opt to try any of the inventive eateries and snack bars along Queen East.
