A ‘subtle wink’ to the original industrial buildings that once lined College Street in the past (and within the Little Italy neighbourhood), Ideal Lofts (301 Markham Street) was named for the Ideal Restaurant & Supply store that occupied this site long ago.Ideal Lofts was the vision of Architects Alliance (architect) and developed by Context Developments, with construction completion in 2002. Ideal Lofts stands 8 storeys high and consists of 68 soft loft units. The exterior architecture is ‘modernity meets urbanicity’, with its red brickwork, expansive glass paneling and steel embellishments.The interior of Ideal Lofts is just as sharp and attractive, with soft loft unit offerings that start with 1-bedroom units (514 square feet) and scaling up to 2 bedrooms and 3-bedroom penthouses (2232 square feet) …these units are a mix of 1-storey and 2-storeys. Investors and homebuyers can expect to see in-unit features like exposed concrete ceilings, floor to ceiling windows that provides loads of natural light, engineered hardwood flooring, private Juliette balconies & private terraces, nook kitchens with expansive counter space, open concept layouts, high-end bathroom features, modern fixtures & finishes and spacious closets.The in-building amenities collection is geared for busy Torontonian urbanites, so homebuyers have access to a landscaped rooftop patio & BBQ station, BBQ’s are permitted on balconies & terraces, party room for entertaining, multipurpose meeting/event room, parking garage and enter phone system. FirstService Residential is onsite and oversees the day to day operations of this fantastic loft-style building and attends to the needs of its residents. The historical average PSF does reflect plenty of potential for a positive return on investment, based on to date resale values.Tucked inside the street borders of College Place, Markham Street and College Street, Ideal Lofts (301 Markham Street) is ‘ideally’ located to TTC public transit (the corners of nearby College Street & Bathurst Street have bus & streetcar stops, with the closest subway station being Queen’s Park station at University Avenue). Bathurst Street is also an excellent & direct route for motorists who wish to pick up Lake Shore Blvd. in the south to collect the access ramps for the Gardiner Expressway.Just steps away from Ideal Lofts on College Street is a wealth of ‘everyday essentials’ amenities like restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs & lounges, pharmacy, banks, business services, retail stores, grocery stores, barber shop & salon, professional offices and much more. Heading to Yonge Street via College Street will unfold the Toronto Eaton Centre, which is a mecca of shopping and dining opportunities.There are many perks to purchasing a new home at Ideal Lofts like closeness to the Bike Share Toronto station across the street for cyclists, its ‘walkability’ factor to the Toronto Western Hospital for all healthcare needs and just south of that is the large Alexandra Park (which possesses and outdoor pool, Bike Share Toronto Rental Station, Toronto Public Library – Sanderson Library, a community centre, a rink and a baseball diamond).Homebuyers with school aged kids have access to many schools in and around this neighbourhood such as Ryerson Community School, Kensington Community School, Lord Lansdowne Junior and Senior Public School, King Edward Junior and Senior Public School, University of Toronto – St. George Campus and Ryerson University, just to name a few.
