Turning the ‘clock’ back in time to the late 1890’s is when the site of 700 King Street West (in the King West neighbourhood) was first developed and a piano factory was erected (the clock tower appears by 1919). In the 1960’s, pictures of the existing building show the original clock tower and still intact in 1977, but in 1981, this historical building was destroyed. During the early 1990’s, an office building was constructed and a new clock tower was created as a tribute. During the late 1990’s, Urban Corp (developer) and Young + Wright Architects purchased and renovated the office building into modern, dimensionally generous residential lofts by 2000. The exterior of this building is a soft, yellow brick that provides a subtle background to the rustic-red façade of the clock tower. Standing at 14-storeys high and possessing 216 condo lofts, homebuyers will be pleased with the layouts and sizes of the Westside Lofts. Starting with 1-bedroom lofts (674 square feet) and scaling up to 2 bedrooms + den and a small collection of 3 bedrooms (2717 square feet). As expected with loft-styled units, homebuyers will see interiors that reflect open-concept spaces, 11-foot ceilings, larger windows, stainless steel appliances, wider hallways, modern upgrades in bathrooms and kitchens and storage space. The in-building amenities begin with the rooftop patio with seating and amazing views of downtown, games room, gym, party room, meeting/function room, sauna, parking garage with guest parking spaces and concierge & security services. The potential for a positive return on investment is valid at the Westside Lofts via the historical average PSF. The daily operations of this building and overseeing the needs of its residents is Crossbridge Condominium Services.The Westside Lofts (700 King Street West) is perfectly situated between King Street, Bathurst Street, Adelaide Street and Tecumseth Street, with a wealth of urbanite-desired options close at hand.

Cyclists can enjoy the new bike lanes on Adelaide Street and Richmond Street. Right outside the lobby doors of the Westside Lofts, buyers can take a few steps and enjoy amenities like cafes, restaurants, grocery store, bar, specialty shops, business services/professional offices, churches and the Wine Rack. A little further away but still within walking distance, homebuyers can access Victoria Memorial Square Park, Stanley Park and the Garrison Common.Homebuyers of Westside Lofts that want quick Gardiner Expressway access can use Bathurst Street south to Lake Shore Blvd. on-ramps. Residing in the King West neighbourhood puts buyers in easy reach of the Entertainment District in the east, the Harbourfront & historic Fort York in the south, Liberty Village in the west and Chinatown, Little Italy, Koreatown & Kensington Market in the north. Heading east on Adelaide Street and then south on Cherry Street will place buyers within the very fun Distillery District for a full day’s worth of exploration, sipping and savouring one of Toronto’s most interesting historical areas.
