ABBEY LANE LOFTS – 261 King Street East

Date Registered (2003-03-06)

When you daydream about a downtown Toronto loft, what do you picture? Perhaps a large, industrial space with soaring ceilings and open space, bathed in natural light shining in through large warehouse-style windows?  As you walk outside of your urban haven, you find yourself immersed in a pulsating city full of culture and choices.  If this sounds like your ideal, your dreams are reality at Abbey Lane Lofts!

Abbey Lane Lofts is an eclectic brick and glass building that formerly housed a warehouse.  That five storey space has been converted into 29 distinctive condos.  These intimate, industrial spaces range from one bedroom units to two bedroom penthouses.  Inside, you’ll be immersed in the contemporary features you love.  You’ll have plenty of headroom with 11-20 foot exposed concrete ceilings.  Below, you’ll find sleek polished concrete floors that look great with any decor.  The exposed brickwork and duct work provides just the right accents to remind you of your urban dwelling.  Your new home is topped off with a modern kitchen with plenty of room for cocktails or cookies- or both!  Some units feature large terraces, and everywhere you look, you’ll have a stunning view of the vibrant city life in which you thrive!

One of the beautiful features of 261 King Street East is light airiness of the suites and abundance of natural light.

Parking is available for you and your guests, so you won’t have to fight traffic or the weekend crowd to park your car. The building features an elevator to your floor. Pets are allowed here, too, so your furry companion can take in the sights as well.

261 King Street East Neighbourhood

There are so many reasons why the St. Lawrence neighbourhood is considered one of the most desirable addresses in the downtown Toronto area. Not only do you have access to anything you could possibly require, but in many cases, what you need is right in your building.

At 261 King Street East, you can find caffeine and sustenance just by taking the elevator to the first floor. In the building are the always-necessary Starbucks, Nari Sushi, Subway, and Amaya Express. Never again will you languish in front of an empty fridge, with dining options right below you and a grocery just steps away. You can stock up at Rocco’s No Frills and walk home with your shopping.

Make plans to meet your friends right across the street and save time getting ready to go out.  You can choose from cocktails at Pacific Junction Hotel or Betty’s (both highly rated choices), or meet up for coffee at Aroma Espresso Bar. You won’t have to brave the elements with so many options just outside your door!

If the arts and entertainment are your interests, you’ll be thrilled to be surrounded by entertainment galore.  Your location at the Abbey Lane Lofts puts you in the spotlight for the Canadian Opera Company and the Young People’s Theatre. You’re also just a short distance from the Distillery District, allowing you prime access to all of the live music, theatre, and performances that light up the historical home to some of the finest arts Toronto has to offer.  

As a resident of the St Lawrence neighbourhood, you’ll become well-acquainted with the St Lawrence Market.  A staple of neighbourhood living, you can find a wide range of shopping and dining experiences here. You might also want to check out the events calendar for this multi-use space, as there are frequent educational events to help enrich your cooking, baking, and hosting skills! There is truth in the saying that the freshest ingredients make the finest dishes, so be sure to check out the weekly Farmer’s Market to snatch up some of the most delicious produce in the city.

If you’d like to reach beyond the St Lawrence neighbourhood and explore the boundaries of the city, no problem. Transportation via TTC or bus is available up and down King Street or Sherborne Street.  Hardly any destination is out of reach with the constantly running street cars and buses at your feet.
