ELECTRA LOFTS 1029 King Street 70 Douro Street King West

Electra Lofts – 1029 King St W

Registration date: 2002-07-11

 

Loft style living in King West Village from Urbancorp. The downtown Toronto area offers many lifestyle choices. A wonderful low-rise option awaits at 1029 King Street West. Two-storey units are spread over six floors of the traditional horizontal edifice, all with exposed high ceilings and concrete walls for a distinct urban feel and look. The concept is enhanced by the building’s placement over one block at Douro amid the shops and restaurants of King West and Queen West, not to mention the proximity to the King streetcar line. 

The Niagara area was chosen by Urbancorp as a locus of revitalization. Its rich history dates back hundreds of years as a military garrison for the Town of York. In the late 19th century it grew as an industrial centre and ultimately a true neighbourhood. But the row houses and cottages are all gone, replaced by exciting condominium complexes like Electra Lofts whose brick and glass facade harks back to a vital historic time. What is modern and innovative are the updated designs and focus on hotel-style interior amenities.

 

Electra Lofts Amenities

While the building has a distinct industrial vibe, the interior is completely updated for high style and luxury living. The lofts and townhouses are quite spacious, a rare find these days in an era of maximum density. There is room to spare given the open plan concept and ingenious use of square footage for maximum storage. Kitchens are well-appointed and fully equipped with the top tier appliances expected in a luxury home. Bathrooms echo the fine finishes and fixtures of the kitchens and reflect the trendy spa-like simplicity of the newest hotels.

With 257 suites, you have a choice of floor plans and views up to 1,300+ square feet. Young professionals and families can opt for one and two-bedroom units with optional den. Every lifestyle is possible with all needs met. Loft and townhouse living is fun as you may get immediate unit access from the outside. There are 17-foot ceilings, balconies, bicycle racks, visitor parking and meeting and party rooms for personal use and entertaining. A fitness centre/gym comes equipped with state-of-the-art gear for health buffs. A real plus is that the units are flooded with calming natural light and are conducive to relaxation and personal time.

 

Electra Lofts Neighborhood

The quiet (highly valued) is deceptive. This is not a sleepy neighbourhood. You can join the action to the east in the Fashion and Entertainment Districts in no time at all. The nightlife is exciting and varied. During the day, take Shaw to Queen and turn right to reach nearby Trinity Bellwoods Park. A bit closer is Massey Harris Park and for dog walkers Stanley Park where pets can play with glee off leash.

Within the immediate area are Montgomery’s, Entice Lounge, The Good Son and Pho Tien Thai. Also check out The Country General (homestyle food) on Queen, Sushi 930 on King and Mildred’s Temple Kitchen on Hanna Avenue for a great brunch. Liberty Village to the south is full of additional eateries and bars and is a hub of design boutiques. 

You will often see your neighbours from DNA3 across the street on their way to the local salon, pharmacy, market, cleaners and GNC. It is a walking neighbourhood with all necessary services in sight. One of the most popular stops is Bang Bank Ice Cream & Bakery. Right at home, there is a grocery store and dry cleaners in the ground floor commercial space alongside a kid-loving Subway restaurant. 

Given the ease of mass transit, it should be noted that the Rogers Centre, CN Tower and Metro Toronto Convention Centre are quite close. Most of the cultural venues are within easy reach as are the many galleries, schools, and hotels. For music and shows, Queen Street beckons while an assortment of outdoor activities are found at the Harbourfront. The fastest route out of the area is to take the King streetcar and connect with the north-south Bathurst and Spadina lines or the Yonge-University subway. Car owners know that the Gardiner Expressway is accessed via Spadina Avenue.
