Westside Gallery Lofts

The Westside Gallery Lofts building is a relatively no-frills soft loft build hiding on Sudbury Street between the railway tracks and Queen West in the West Queen West neighbourhood. We say “relatively” no-frills as the building does boast a basement pool and a gym, though some of the other originally advertised features of the building were lost in a re-design shortly after the project was launched. This Urbancorp project was completed and registered in July of 2012 and houses nearly 400 units. The building relies on heavy use of exposed concrete and ductwork to give the “loft” feel given that the building is not a conversion, nor does have any multi-floor units. Units here are all less than 1000 square feet making this a great place for first-timers to look for their entry into the market. Perhaps one of the coolest things about this building is its sister Artscape Triangle. Westside Gallery Lofts shares a couple of floors with this City of Toronto joint venture aimed at the simplest of work/live spaces, sold/rented exclusively to artists who can prove a portfolio. This venture, aimed at keeping the arts alive in Queen West, leaves an eclectic community living here that can only mean good things in the long term
