Soho Lofts Starwood Centre
477 Richmond St W, Toronto
Overview
Unlike the purpose-built lofts and warehouse conversions popular in Queen West, Soho Lofts Starwood Centre is a former office building that has been transformed into a mixed commercial and residential space. It’s hard to miss with a corner façade of sleek panelled glass right at Richmond and Brant Street.
While the main floor is home to two barbershops, convenience store, dry cleaning, and a small event space, the upper ten-storeys are home to 94 Toronto condos for sale and for rent. Designed as live-work soft lofts, these suites feature exposed concrete floors, ceilings, and accent pillars, plus the ceilings are up to 15-feet high, with huge bright windows for natural light. There's great potential here for homeowners looking for a unique space they can personalize.
Nestled just north of King Street West, residents at Soho Lofts Starwood Centre are nearby to a variety of independently owned boutiques, with galleries and restaurants around every corner, so you'll never run out of places to browse, shop, and dine.

Pets allowed: Like most downtown Toronto condos, Soho Lofts Starwood Centre is a pet-friendly building. With beautiful, sun-filled windows where your cat can lounge for hours, and many nearby dog-friendly parks, it’s the type of residence that will make you want to have a pet.
Urban convenience: With a barbershop, a dry cleaner, a convenience store, and a boutique event space all on the ground floor of the building, residents will experience first-hand the urban convenience of the Queen Street and King West neighbourhood.
