8 Gladstone: Modern Lofts at Queen and Gladstone

We at the Toronto Star’s NewInHomes.com really can not wait for Streetcar Development to get further along with their latest project, 8 Gladstone.  

Currently under construction in one of the most popular pockets of Toronto, 8 Gladstone will feature just 89 boutique loft spaces.  Designed by TACT Architecture, the simple, yet edgy style will fit in perfectly with the quaintness of Queen Street West.  8 Gladstone will be surrounded by everything you desire, including the trendiest hangout spots like the Drake Hotel, which is just down the street, a number of independently owned restaurants and cafes, and a multitude of art galleries and studios.  For the past few years, the Gladstone and Queen West area has been attracting mostly young adults, consisting of fashionistas, artists, and musicians.  Quirky boutiques and shops line the streets, and every other part of Toronto is still accessible via the Queen streetcar.  8 Gladstone will be set right next to the famous Gladstone Hotel and 2 Gladstone, another one of Streetcar’s boutique loft developments.  Standing only eight storeys tall, the modern loft spaces will blend in seamlessly with the already established neighbourhood. 

The interior has been designed by the prolific design firm, II By IV, a Toronto-based company with over 20 years experience, producing the best that Toronto has to offer, as far as indoor spaces go.  There is a large variety of strategic layouts available, each one designed with a modern European styling in mind. By the looks of the renderings, it seems that most, if not all the units have access to expansive private balconies or terraces.  Some of the top floor units have skylights, and we are sure that II By IV took advantage of the extra light and was able to design a space fit for a king, a trendy king nonetheless.  The units range from one-bedrooms to two-bedroom+dens, and their sizes range between 471 and 1,212 square feet.  

Streetcar Development has become very busy in the past few years.  They have a couple very successful projects under their belt, but we are sure that the best is still to come.  They currently have about seven projects in the works, including Trinity Lofts and The Carlaw, both highly anticipated.  Streetcar has been very successful at creating modern urban environments which accentuate already-impressive areas.  If you are in the market for a home which redefines urban living in the big city, then 8 Gladstone is the place to be.  Prices for a unit at 8 Gladstone range from $249,900 - $769,900.  Units are now selling!
