Toronto Soft Loft Buildings
Stage East Lofts - Queen and Leslie
Neilas Inc.'s new condominium project in Leslieville is designed to foster a close-knit community. Dubbed Stage East because of its location just east of the film district, the building will be set on a deep and narrow site on Queen Street East at Leslie Street, within an up-and-coming section of the city.
Stage East Lofts is being developed by Jim Neilas (know from the Cube Lofts), designed by architects Raw Design with Studio CK. This is a smaller boutique building, with some units facing Queen street and a U-shaped structure offering a large inner courtyard which is exclusively used by each of the four units surrounding the courtyard.
The building will consist of two four-storey towers linked by an interior courtyard and glazed corridors leading to a freestanding elevator. There will be 24 units between the towers. A green roof will be put on top of the mezzanine, while the courtyard and balconies will have landscaped dividers. Operable windows will be installed, and the south side of the building will have large overhangs.
Bike storage space will be provided, and residents will have access to a vehicle through an auto-sharing operation. The building will have retail shops fronting on Queen, and residents will be within walking distance of parks with sports facilities.
Suite sizes range from 530 to 863 square feet in one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den or two-bedroom plans. Interiors will include walls of windows; high-end, contemporary finishes; and private terraces averaging 250 square feet.
The largest model will have 863 square feet of living space on two levels, with two bedrooms and a den, a balcony and a 350-square-foot wraparound terrace on the roof. All the top [floor] units have fantastic sunrooms up at the top that have wraparound terraces. Parking and lockers will be available for an extra cost, and maintenance fees have not been set yet.
As of May 2009, they are sold out. With so few lofts available, it is not a major surprise. Unless the builder releases a unit or two before completion, you are going to have to wait for original buyers to start reselling before you can get your hands on one.
Stage East Lofts in Leslieville is a great example of how small pieces of land can used in a smart way, allowing for a limited number of residences in revitalized urban areas. The Stage East Lofts would make great living for those who prefer a smaller loft building with no amenities and no private-public spaces.
