Location and Neighborhood

Part of downtown Toronto’s “urban growth hub” is located in the Fashion District, which is bounded to the north by Queen Street West and south by Front Street. The city is projecting and planning for even more significant growth in the downtown area, making it a good idea to invest in new buildings.

Fabric and textile manufacture had a strong presence in the Fashion District due to its closeness to the city’s railyards, which gave the area its name. Even today, many of the brick factories and warehouses still line the streets, some of which have been converted into apartments or art galleries and restaurants or offices for IT and creative companies.

Contemporary condominiums and some of New York City’s most popular bars and clubs are nestled among this cluster of historic structures.

Infill development around 485 Wellington Street West has recently been sought after, and this trend is expected to continue. Nearby, two substantial mixed-use complexes are being considered to add a substantial amount to the area in terms of new residential, commercial, and public realm amenities.

Accessibility/Highlights 

King Street, Spadina Avenue, and Queen Street have 24-hour streetcar services. There is also a TTC Subway station at St. Andrew station, a branch of the University-Spadina Line 1 of the system. Many additional modes of public transportation may be found close by the condominiums. 

Any portion of Toronto is easily accessible to those who own a car. The Gardiner Expressway, Lake Shore Boulevard, and the Don Valley Parkway are all easily accessible. The Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and major highways 401 and 427 are accessible through these routes.
