Yesterday I took to the streets of Trinity and Eastern to show exactly what the area has to offer…incase you missed it, check it out here! Today I’m taking it a step closer to home and looking at the features Trinity Lofts will offer. The 8 story building (shown above) will have a total of 81 lofts plus 2 town homes. Similar to SYNC and 2 Gladstone, units will be 9ft high with exposed concrete ceilings (except areas with bulkheads, as required to accommodate architectural, structural, mechanical or OBC conditions). Floors will be pre-finished engineered hardwood throughout, except for tiled area as per plan.

Expect contemporary kitchens with granite or quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, porcelain subway tile backsplash with an under mount sink! They’ve stayed away from the frivolous amenities and kept it simple with an equipped exercise room, furnished terrace with shared BBQ, dog wash room, a bike share system and an auto share parking space. Parking is available but is only available on units over $310,900 BUT with the TTC up the street and the various transportation sharing programs in the building, it’s not such a bad thing. Also without a car (or parking) you may actually be able to qualify for more of a mortgage as you’ll have less financial commitments hindering approval!

From Thursday April 30th to Wednesday May 5th, they’ll be accepting work sheets from Realtors who’ve been invited to sell at the project. For this early launch, roughly 55 units are being released so buyers are encouraged to pick 3 units of choice. On Thursday May 6th, they’ll be confirming successful worksheet and scheduling times to sign the agreement of purchase and sale for Saturday May 8th (purchasers must be present for signing!!!) The deposit structure is $5,000 on signing with the balance of 5% in 30 days, 5% in 90 days, 5% in 180 days and 5% on occupancy. Parking is $30,000 for units $310,900 and higher, with locker/bike lockers at $5,000 and $2,000 respectively.

I do have floor plans and price lists but am not emailing them out, I’d much rather meet in person to better explain the process and go over the details (plus usually it’s just other Realtors trying to get info for their blogs/site… as much as I love them, they tend to not hire me to represent them). There’s tons of amaaaaaaazing cafes in the Distillery where we can meet to discuss buying a unit at Trinity…feel free to call or email to set up an appointment, I’d love to help!

Floor plans and prices for Trinity Lofts have now been released…instead of yapping about prices and layouts, I decided to shoot a short video showing the lofts advantageous location to 51 Division, Distillery District,   King East  and Corktown to name a view.  From today until Thursday they’ll be accepting worksheets, if you’d like to call Trinity Lofts home…call me.  I’d love to help!

The Streetcars on the move again…Streetcar Developments that is! A few posts back, I shared some details about the lofts and in the coming week I’ll have even more! Floor plans, prices and of course renderings should all be coming shortly. As they’ve done with past projects, Realtors who sold for them will have one of the first opportunities to sell to their clients before the general launch. According to their latest mail out “TRINITY will offer the unique high-end designer finishes that past Streetcar followers have come to appreciate: 9′ smooth ceilings, modern kitchens and bathrooms with stone counters throughout, stainless steel appliances and pre-engineered wood flooring.”

Stay tuned for more updates during the week…feel free to contact me if you’d like to be part of the launch!

A few months ago, I wrote about SYNC lofts by Streetcar Developments and experienced the same results as my 2 Gladstone post…tooooons of interest! In my opinion, Streetcar seems always be one step ahead of others in the mid-rise development business.

With 2 Gladstone they launched a soft loft that’s designed to work with the area instead of over power it. Its design and awesome location (Queen West at Gladstone) helped launch 2 Gladstone with strong sales. For SYNC it was the incorporation of high-tech gadgets that attracted many purchasers.

I was excited earlier in the month when rumours started circulating about a 3rd project (in the past year) launching from them… and even happier today to see it confirmed! Trinity Lofts is the newest project by Streetcar, with a location right in the thick of a few interesting up and coming areas. Located on the North West corner of Trinity and Eastern Avenue, the lofts will border the Distillery District, Downtown East and the West Don Lands!

Very few details are known at this time, but I’ve heard roughly 80 units will be available, spread over 8 floors. From my experience, more and more buyers are expressing interest in the intimate design of a low rise building as opposed to many of the tall towers popping up. It’s this kind of design that Streetcar excels so well in! I haven’t seen any renderings yet, but I’m very curious to see how the lofts merge with the century old architecture that can be found on neighbouring streets.

I’ll be keeping an eye on Trinity Lofts with blog posts as soon as more official info is known! If you’d like to be kept in the loop for the Trinity project, send me an email or give me a call… I’d love to help!

Here’s a change…some “Streetcar” related news that DOES’NT involve a City Councillor!

Streetcar Developments have released more details on its SYNC Loft project. The 8 story building will house 98 units featuring 9 foot smooth finish ceilings, barn-style doors to bedrooms, contemporary kitchens with stainless steel appliances and modern spa bathrooms… to name a few

…and then there the tech-friendly features! Units will have built-in iPod docking stations that will be connected to prewired surface mounted speakers in the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. The rooftop gym will include a media wall and wireless internet connectivity. There will even be something for the animal lovers out there… a Pet Spa for washing and grooming on the main level!

I’ve been invited to the broker’s preview which also entitles clients to preview pricing! Prices start in the mid $420′s per square foot, with such few units for sale it’s sure to sell out quick. The floor plans are very workable, especially the one beds plus den! Many feature balconies or large terraces (4th and 5th floor units).

Similar to other projects, they’ll be accepting work sheet until this Saturday (February 13th 2010) and signing agreements of purchase and sale on Tuesday (February 16th 2010). Throughout the week I’ll be meeting with interested purchasers and submitting their worksheets. If you’d like to call SYNC home, send me and email or give me a call … I’d love to help!

The same people, who brought 2 Gladstone to Queen West, are doing it again… But this time it’s on the other side of town! In the heart of Riverside Village at 630 Queen St E and minutes from the Distillery District and Corktown is where you’ll find Streetcar Developments newest loft called SYNC!

It looks to be an intimate 8 story building with an industrial, yet modern facade. The lofts will have pre-wired speakers, internet connectivity, HDTV (hence the word SYNC) and smooth 9ft ceilings! Streetcar is no stranger to the East end of Queen, having built EDGE Lofts and currently working on their Corktown District phases a few blocks West.

The area is becoming increasingly popular with projects like River City, the 80-acre West Don Lands Revitalization and the 2015 Pan American Village all being developed a few blocks away!

The last project they launched, 2 Gladstone, sold-out almost entirely in it’s opening week. I wouldn’t be surprised to see similar results for SYNC. I’ll have prices and floor plans in the coming days. As always, if you’d like to live here, send me and email or give me a call…I’d love to help!

Expect modern kitchens with stone counters, stainless steel appliances, sliding glass bedroom doors, and more!
