Back in 1998, Great Gulf Homes Executive VP Gary Switzer and Quadrangle Architects Sheldon Levitt & Les Klein had a meeting about how they were going to design and build The Morgan condominium (438 Richmond Street West). With great excitement, the team strategized as there were now new possibilities for planning and zoning, as some laws were changed in 1996, allowing for multi-storey residential buildings and regeneration areas for the Queen West neighbourhood. The biggest consideration that appealed to the team was the 1920’s & 1930’s warehouse/loft buildings that are sprinkled on Spadina Avenue, so taking these cues for textures and densities, the team created a one-of-a-kind, (exceptional quality & density rich) architecturally appealing condominium, that highly compliments this Toronto neighbourhood. Completed in 2002 and standing at 16-storeys high (consisting of 217 condo units), The Morgan’s is easy to spot…the exterior begins with a granite base and eases into the same soft, yellow brick as its neighbours like the Fashion Building across the street, but with a twist…black ‘iron-spot’ bricks were used to cap each row as punctuation pieces. These condo units are much larger in size at The Morgan than many of the newer condominiums in the city, with units starting with studios (600 square feet) and scaling up to 2-storey penthouse units on the top floors (4110 square feet). Homebuyers will notice certain features in certain units such as private balconies with either views of Lake Ontario or the cityscape (Casa Loma can be seen), modern appliances, upgraded hardwood & laminate flooring, large windows, designer finishes and large storage areas. The in-building amenities include the 11th floor landscaped rooftop terrace with lounging area for entertaining and the 2nd floor hosts a lounge, dining room, gym, saunas, media room, party room and meeting/function room. Homebuyers also have a parking garage & guest parking spaces, 24-hour concierge and security guard. The historical average PSF has shown over the years there is potential for a positive return on investment. Crossbridge Condominium Services is onsite to oversee the day to day operations of this condo building and the friendly staff is available to attend to the needs of residents.Homebuyers can enjoy the numerous conveniences that nestle themselves around The Morgan (438 Richmond Street West) such as TTC streetcar and bus stops along Queen Street, Spadina Avenue, Richmond Street and at the corner of Graffiti Alley & Spadina Avenue (both St. Andrew subway station and Osgoode subway station are only a 15-minute walk away from The Morgan condominium). Sprinkled along street level, buyers will find a dry cleaner, café, salon, convenience store and a café inside this condo. A 5-minute walk away, buyers will find a grocery stores, banks, restaurants, specialty shops, the Queen & Spadina Business Centre, bars, galleries, business services and professional offices. The Entertainment District, the Discovery District, Distillery District and the Garden District are all fun ways of exploring what Toronto has to offer and are within easy reach for The Morgan residents.A quick trip north on Spadina places homebuyers in Chinatown and further to Kensington Market, and a trip south will open-up the enjoyment of the waterfront of Lake Ontario and on-ramp access to the Gardiner Expressway for motorists.
