An interesting combination of commercial & residential space is precisely what the Soho Lofts Starwood Centre (477 Richmond Street West) offers to realty investors and homebuyers (a work/home fusion within the Queen West neighbourhood, talk about potential!).Built back in 1990’s with the sole intent to cater to business industrial & office condo, the Starwood Group (developer) & Murray Croteau Architect Inc. decided to switch it up and make it a more practical work/live spaces. The Starwood Centre is seen from the entranceway, but is better known as the Soho Lofts. The exterior façade is an attractive (and unique) for its pop of tinted glass and blueish-grey steel panels.The Soho Lofts Starwood Centre stands 10-storeys tall with a total of 94 soft lofts within. The soft lofts begin with 1 bedroom (575 square feet) and scale up to 2 bedrooms (1400 square feet) with excellent features like exposed concrete ceilings, exposed concrete floors, accent pillars, 15-foot ceilings, dimensionally larger windows, open concept layouts, modern appliances, spacious baths and modern kitchens. These soft lofts are ideal for busy executives who want more space to set up their office right inside their home, with like-minded neighbours!In lieu of non-existent building amenities outside of a parking garage, homebuyers and realty investors do not have to look far for highly convenient amenities that are located on the ground level of the Soho Lofts Starwood Centre!
