747 Queen St E is the home to Riverside Lofts, a lovely four-storey Toronto lofts building in the heart of the city’s Riverside district. Featuring twelve boutique-style units, every loft is a work of art with ten-foot ceilings, exposed heating ducts and polished concrete floors. The view will inspire any artist; gaze out on the city skyline, or enjoy scenes of the lakeshore from some of the building’s top floor units. Stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and stone countertops create an inviting kitchen in which to entertain, or take the party outdoors in the warmer months by taking advantage of your spacious private balcony with gas hookup. From your balcony you may be able to see some of the outdoor art installations for which this area is well-known; after all, with an active arts community on your doorstep, you are in close proximity to several independent galleries, right on your very own street.
Riverside’s District BIA reflects the artistic vibe of this community, focusing on streetscaping, new pedestrian lighting and facade improvement in an attempt to beautify this Queen East neighbourhood. The BIA is also heavily involved with the annual Riverdale Art Walk, taking place in the spring of each year. Riverside is home to some of the best cafes and local brunch spots in the city, perfect for recovering after a night on the town, perhaps at the Opera House, a live music venue that was originally a 1900’s Vaudeville theatre, just down the street from your own home at 747 Queen St E. It’s no wonder that this vibrant and exciting community has been labeled the “SoHo of Toronto,” and at Riverside Lofts, you have the unique opportunity to live at the inspirational centre of all the artistic bustle and activity that characterizes Riverside.
