Overview
Located at the intersection of King Street East and Parliament, The Derby Lofts is a four-storey building of red brick and huge panelled windows that draw tons of natural sunlight to the soft-lofts inside.
With just 26 units available, these Toronto lofts all enjoy generous two-storey designs and open-concept layouts. They range from one-bedroom to two-bedrooms and they feature 16-foot ceilings, striking mezzanines overlooking the lower level living area, curved staircases, and private rooftop terraces. They are modern soft-lofts, which means the interior has a new contemporary style, but the vibe of the space is still exceptionally ‘lofty’. The building has a convenient parking garage, and it’s also a pet-friendly property with many nearby parks perfect for long walks.
All in all, The Derby Lofts is a great place for anyone seeking a contemporary loft experience that can easily accommodate a live/work lifestyle or act as a comfortable and spacious home for a young couple or new family. The Corktown neighbourhood is old and charming with a wide array of cafes, restaurants, boutique shops, and pleasant parks and green spaces.
Most Notable Features
Great east end location: You couldn’t ask for a more convenient east end location, right at King and Parliament where you’ll find two TTC routes that cover all directions. Easily zip west across King Street to Yonge Street, the subway, and the downtown core, and catch the bus north or south along Parliament.
Two-storey space: These two-storey soft-lofts will really have homeowners saying, “Wow!” Just look at the huge wall of windows, the endless sense of sunlight and warmth, the charming staircase and soaring ceilings, and you will understand a new found idea of spacious living.
Extra pocket money: Unlike most other downtown Toronto condos, The Derby Lofts lacks those extra amenities like a fitness room or a swimming pool. The plus side, however, is the relatively low maintenance fees, which means more money in your pocket to do as you want.
