Tribute celebrates roof topping of Q&P
By on Sep 09, 2010
Tribute's Queen & Portland project has been described as one of the most innovative residential projects in the City of Toronto, and now this futuristic vision is one step closer to becoming a reality.
What makes Queen & Portland so unique is that it is blends residences, retail and even green spaces and small terraces in the sky, all while remaining a friendly, manageable size. The seven-storey, mid-rise structure will consist of two and a half levels of retail space below a modern marvel of terraces, sky gardens, lofts and traditional suites.
That retail space will offer residents the utmost in convenience with an urban version of Loblaws, Joe Fresh and Winners among others. The Loblaws will occupy approximately 38,700 sq. ft. over the entire second floor; Joe Fresh, Teopia, Bank of Montreal and one other will be on the street level and Winners will share the third floor with some residential suites that face onto Queen West.
As Tribute president Al Libfeld pointed out to this audience, no other downtown project offers residents their own 20,000-square-foot landscaped mini-park high above Queen West. In fact, it is a mini-park designed by the city's top Green designer -- Andrea Kantelberg. What other condominium can say residents have their own front or backyards -- terraces that range from 300 to 1,125 square feet in size, he asked.
"We are enormously proud of Q&P," he said."I think we have created something here that brings lasting credit to everyone involved with the project -- our partner RioCan, the design and construction teams and our forward thinking retailers."
Queen and Portland currently offers lofts, one-bedroom as well as three bedroom suites large enough for a family. The lofts are especially dramatic. There are 9 of them on the third floor facing Queen West. Each has 10-foot ceilings and the dramatic floor-to-ceiling north facing windows open onto those terrific terraces. Upper floors offer large two-bedroom and two-bedroom and den traditional residences. They can run as much as 1,300 square feet and have their own east-facing terraces, some large enough for a game of croquet.
As for amenities, Tribute knows its market. The Queen and Portland area is the big plus here. The condominium will have a state-of-the-art exercise room and a concierge to man the lobby desk and a banquet of diversions just outside the front door.
