Art Condos, in the trendy Studio District is the first pre construction project I’m spotlighting in my look at 2010 condo releases! The Queen West strip has had a busy run the past few years, attracting the artistic and creative to such projects as Westside Gallery Lofts, The Bohemian Embassy and, 2 Gladstone. The area is a hotbed for artists and with this, it’s attracted quite the night life at places like The Gladstone, The Drake Hotel and The Social to name a few.

The newest addition to the area is Art Condos by Triangle West Developments. Tucked away from the lively Queen St., this project can be found midway down Dovercourt just before Sudbury St. In keeping with the heights of other buildings in the area, Art will be an 11 story boutique style building with under 150 units. What draws me to this one is having 3rd Uncle Design on board for the interior designs. You may not know recognize the name, but if you’ve ever been to The Drake Hotel, you’ve seen their work!

I was intrigued by the registration forms on their website. They have a section asking the public “which of the following amenities would you prefer in your condominium?” The choices range from standard, Party/Meeting rooms… to the less seen: Art Studio Space, Outdoor Movie Screen and even a Pet Spa! I really like this approach as it gives the consumer an opinion to what they’d like to see in a future place of residence. It’s definitely going to be interesting to see what comes of it!

The renderings of the red brick and glass combination were released this week! Units will range from 460 to 1700 sqf with prices starting in the low $200,000.  I anticipate Art to be one of the first new projects to launch in 2010. If you’d like to be kept in the loop on the Art Condo project, send me an email or give me a call…i’d love to help!
