Does your definition of the perfect dwelling include living steps from life-enhancing
amenities and a diverse mix of opportunities for work and play? We may have found
the perfect pad for you in ART Condominiums, situated on coveted Dovercourt Road
just a hop, skip, and a jump to vibrant West Queen West, uber-fun Ossington Strip,
and trending Liberty Village! Here, you can soak up Toronto’s sexy urban vibe, and
take advantage of the convenience of living just removed from the city centre in one
of Toronto’s most desirable areas! Don’t believe us? Just ask Vogue & The Economist,
who ranked West Queen West - and its “hallmarks of hipness” - as one of the most
“cool and livable” ‘hoods in the world! The area is chock-full of fresh restaurants,
bars, and coffee houses to discover, not to mention a some of the finest shops &
boutiques, gorgeous galleries, and fitness studios. After all, West Queen West isn’t just
a neighbourhood; it’s a lifestyle!

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

There is nothing more liberating than walking out your front door with no specific plans,
and being met with dozens of great options for dining, drinking and shopping just steps
away! This will be your everyday reality when you live at Art Condos! You can wander up
to the iconic Drake Hotel and celebrate the cosmopolitan, pop into The Good Neighbour
for a tasty pastry (or four), replenish your beauty products at Deciem, give your body
a boost at Greenhouse Juice Co., or simply window shop Queen Street’s intriguing
offerings. After all, when it comes to chic boutiques and one-of-a-kind-shops, Queen
West has all the best goods!

When retail therapy makes you peckish, you’ll have some exciting decisions to make! Is clean eating
one of your priorities these days? Check out Bolt Fresh Bar. Looking for a tasty craft beer? Bellwoods
Brewery on Ossington will satiate your mircrobrew fix. Craving comfort food? At any hour of the day,
you’ll be happy living close to the 24 hour Lakeview Restaurant. Need a brunch hangout? Check out
Café Neon. Foodies with a penchant for Canadian cuisine will enjoy Antler Kitchen & Bar.

Having green space has always been an important feature for homeowners, but now more than ever
it’s a high priority for many. 8 Dovercourt Road is well-situated to one of the city’s best parks: Trinity
Bellwoods Park! Spanning over 14.6 hectares, no matter the season there is lots to do in this popular
park, with playgrounds, picnicking, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a swimming pool, Farmers
Market, and more. In the winter, lace-up and visit the artificial ice rink. Trinity Bellwoods is also home
to a number of events and festivals in the spring, summer and fall including Movie Nights In The Park
and the Queen West Art Crawl. Gotta puppy of any age? You can find Leash-Free Doggy Love At Trinity
Bellwoods Park.

Queen West is a great place to explore and nurture your creative soul with numerous galleries. There
are a few right up the street from 8 Dovercourt Road, including The Freedom Factory: Art Gallery
and Event Space and Propeller Art Gallery, which is one of Toronto’s oldest artist-run, not-for-profit
galleries.

This home is well located to run your daily errands as well. Independent City Market is under a
10-minute walk away. Equidistant in the other direction are Freshco and Metro. The LCBO is just over
a 10-minute walk away. Some of our favourite boutique purveyors include Poppies Plant Of Joy and
the Drake General Store, both just steps beyond your front door!

Two streetcar lines are super close (501 Queen or 504 King), and so is the Dufferin bus which will zip
you north toward Bloor or south toward Exhibition! It’s no surprise that Art Condos boasts a Transit
Score of 91! If you prefer to drive yourself, Queen West offers easy access to Lakeshore Boulevard, the
Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway.

Let’s talk about schools! Even if your household doesn’t include a child, proximity to quality education
is always highly coveted, which means that this is an amenity that future buyers will be willing to pay
top dollar for! A mere 10-minute walk away is Alexander Muir/Gladstone Ave (AMG), Junior and
Senior Public school that offers schooling from JK all the way to Grade 8. This isn’t just a school. AMG
also houses an alternative school, ESL programs for adults, a parenting & family literacy centre and a
YMCA child care program. How wonderful t to have school and child care an easy walk from home?
Convenient! Even in high school, your local school is still walkable. Parkdale Collegiate is just under
a 20-minute walk away. This is indeed a reputable school and features a PreBaccalaureate program
intended to prep students for the International Baccalaureate Programme. They also offer two unique
Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs: one in Horticulture & Landscaping and one in Health
& Wellness.

Dreamt of a ‘hood that serves up rich, full-bodied, urban living? Yup, you’ve found it! Cheers!

THE ART CONDOMINIUM

For those who crave a sweet suite on Toronto’s wickedly delightful west
side, you can’t get a space more delectable than this 2-bed 2-bath modern
space in Art Condos! Completed in 2013 by Triangle West Development,
the design of the building was a joint effort between award-winning Oleson
Worland Architects and innovative Hariri Pontarini Architects. Offering a
bespoke collection of 152 suites spread over 11 floors, this ode to delectable
design is a standout among Toronto’s boutique buildings. Suites range from
minimal and modern studios to bright and boastful two-bedrooms suites and
are designed to showcase the unique architecture of the building, the cutting
edge interior design by 3rd Uncle, and frame the views of the Toronto skyline
from all directions.

Building amenities abound, including the classics: a concierge, a security
system, visitor parking, bike storage, a meeting room, an exercise room,
and a recreation room. But, as a fresh, high-styled boutique condo curated
to be a cut above, the building also features a large media/theatre room, a
party room, an expansive outdoor patio, a rooftop deck, and even a fire pit!
Imagine how enriching (and easy peasy!) it would be to have the pick of so
many great activities and facilities mere steps from your living space! There’s
even a Zip Car pickup right next door if you’re ever in need of wheels! But
given the condo boasts a Transit Score of 91 and a Walk Score of 84, you
may never need a car! (If that’s the case, the previous owners of this unit
rented their parking space for $120/month!)

Have a four-legged companion? The Art Condos community is very pet
positive, and they allow up to two pets per suite! There are also plenty of
great green spaces nearby for daily dog walks, including a brand new off-
leash dog park (due to open Fall 2021) at Osler Park - just a couple blocks
away! How handy would that be?!

Suite 811 is an efficient, thoughtful urban retreat that’s perfect for busy
professionals - swinging singles and contemporary couples alike! Those
who have dreamt of owning a succulent slice of downtown will adore
this bright and airy dwell, perched above the crowds and clamour, with
peaceful panoramic views of residential treescapes, the city skyline,
and even the CN Tower! Perfectly proportioned and well-situated at the
intersection of creative and hip, this crisp contemporary space marries
utility, style, and convenience!

As you enter the intelligently-designed 826-square-foot interior, you’re
immediately struck by its soft loft calming effect; the white walls, the
9’ concrete ceilings, and warm custom wood floors - combined with a
blue sky panorama spanning the entertainment space - give a soothing
sense of privacy and freedom while being grounded to something much
larger than yourself. Stepping into the foyer, directly to your right is
the first of the suite’s well-appointed washrooms, as well as access to
stacked laundry and storage! Continuing down the hall - perfect for
displaying your art collection! - the suite’s entertainment area unfolds
into articulated zones of leisure which are bathed in natural light!

The second bedroom, currently outfitted as a home office and den, is
spacious and modular! Sliding doors can offer privacy when you need it
most, allowing only the softest glow of daylight to filter through as you
take some “me time”! However, when you are in the mood to socialize,
retract the sliding panels to visually expand the space and get the dance
party started!!

The open plan kitchen is ready for the resident chef to take centre
stage, awaiting their culinary creativity! The quartz countertops and
contemporary solid core veneer slab custom cabinetry contrasts
beautifully with the built-in stainless steel appliances, but the focus of
the space is the multifunctional moveable island, which does double
duty as extra food prep space and the centrepiece that friends will
congregate to share great food and even better company! The culinary
zone transitions cleanly and effortlessly into the living space, which is all
about relaxing in comfort and style - with a great view to boot! Being
well-proportioned, it offers choice when configuring furniture to best suit
your needs. Can you imagine yourself reclined on the sofa, with a cool
glass of white wine, and the summer breeze whispering in through the
Juliette balcony? Divine!

Everyone needs a serene space they can call their own when the ravages
of everyday living feel like they’re taking their toll. Off the entertainment
space - and well-situated away from the second bedroom - is the Master
suite refuge. This perfectly-appointed private oasis boasts a walk-in
closet and a postcard-perfect view! And the ensuite bath with its floating
vanity, glass shower, and luxe rainfall showerhead? You couldn’t ask for
a better place to lather away the day or primp and polish yourself for a
night out on Queen West!

A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS

Welcome to Suite 811!

We have lived in Art Condos since we moved to Toronto in
2014, first as tenants and then as owners - that’s how much
we love it here! Art Condos is a boutique building which
has been fantastically maintained and has a high ratio of
owner occupants; this means that the majority of residents
are invested in the livability and enduring quality of our
shared home! The strong sense of community and the pride
of ownership were very important to us - as I’m sure it will
be to you too!

Our unit offers an incredible skyline view of downtown
Toronto, thanks in large part to the stunning floor-to-ceiling
windows. Our suite faces East, so we get to enjoy the sunrise, as well as the gorgeous golden glow the sun
casts on the high-rises as it sets. To the North, you can see the beautiful tree-lined streets of Little Portugal,
while Lake Ontario lies along the horizon to the South. There’s even a view of the CN Tower from the
master bedroom - our favourite view of all!

We’ve really enjoyed the Juliet balconies over the years, especially in the Spring and Summer when they
usher in warm breezes that circulate through the space! When we first saw the suite, the second bedroom
was set up comfortable with a Queen-size bed, however, we’ve found better use for the space as a library;
we set up a desk for two that allows us to work from home, as well as a lovely day bed (which unfolds into
a King when we have guests staying with us). After all, the smartly designed and thoughtfully laid out units
in this building offer a ton of space and storage; we have never filled all the cupbouards or the impressively
large bathroom mirror cabinets in spite of our large collection of products!

One of the reasons we love Art is that we are close to every day-to-day amenity we need, but are still
situated in what feels like a very residential part of Toronto. Living in a condominium offers many perks
(there’s so much to do here without even leaving the building), but one of our favourite past times is walking
the surrounding streets and admiring the dreamy old Victorians and impeccably maintained landscaping;
this unique neighbourhood offers a welcome amount of serenity and ‘green’ while still being very much in
the heart of downtown.

A perfect afternoon for us? Strolling along Queen Street West, perusing the shops, grabbing some ice
cream at Bang Bang (before the line wraps around the block!), or meandering through Trinity Bellwoods
Park. While our unit has parking, we often walk — whether to Dundas, Queen West, King West, or Liberty
Village! If we choose to skip the myriad of transit offerings practically at our doorstep, it’s only 30 minutes
to Yonge street on foot! Living here allows us the privacy and peace of a residential address but offers the
connectedness and amenities of living in a bustling city centre!

We know you’ll love living here too, perched above it all in this ‘ARTful’ downtown oasis!
