A strong sense of a ‘culturally-rich’ community…this is one of the best ways to describe the St. James Town neighbourhood (embraced within Cabbagetown) and the desireable vibe of The Star of Downtown condominium. Artists, journalists, musicians & writers are drawn to this quieter part of Toronto, but are still close to all ‘urbanite-adventures’ and business offices of the downtown core of the city. This condominium was completed in 2009 by Willowfield Homes, Norstar Canada (developers) and Kirkor Architects and Planners and leaned on a more art deco style through the exterior façade, that is subtle and welcoming (like the residents) rather than an overbearing and complex architecture structure. It was important to the team to enhance this already great and highly desireable community and its history. The Star of Downtown (225 Wellesley Street East) stands 12-storeys tall and has a great selection of condo units, beginning with 1 bedroom (519 square feet) and scaling up to 2 bedrooms + den (980 square feet). In-unit features that homebuyers can anticipate seeing is dimensionally generous layouts, pre-engineered hardwood & laminate flooring, modern kitchens with natural stone countertops, private balconies and ensuite laundry. The in-building amenities for residents’ use include the expansive rooftop terrace with BBQ station (excellent for entertaining guests), party room, gym, meeting/function room, sauna and parking garage with guest parking spaces. It is no surprise when homebuyers see a repeated pattern (via historical average PSF) of the potential with positive return on investment through resale values. Taft Forward Property Management oversees the daily operations of this condo building and takes care of residents needs.The Star of Downtown condominium (225 Wellesley Street East) is perfectly located for homebuyers that want easy TTC options (bus stops are mere steps away at Wellesley Street & Ontario Street, heading east and west, with the closest subway station being Wellesley in the west at Yonge Street).

Right across the street, buyers will find a grocery store, variety store, a Sunny Green Fruit & Vegetable outlet and around this condo, there is an internet café, restaurant and public library. A little walk east along Wellesley Street to Parliament Street, homebuyers will find a great collection of amenities like restaurants, cafes, pharmacy and gas station further south.
