STUDIO CONDOS ON RICHMOND

199 RICHMOND ST W

Introducing Studio on Richmond - a new condo that defines a location. Not a location that defines you. A location that allows you to be a part of the things that make Toronto great. Not the things that make you great. Studio Condos will be an experience designed around the new OCAD University Art Gallery & Cafes.

It’s not Queen West. It’s not King West. It’s Richmond. Duncan & Richmond. A bit of both worlds, yet a world entirely unto itself. It’s where Financial and Cultural Districts converge, creating a swirling dynamic of dollar bills and clubland thrills traded on the most important index of all – quality of life.

We could paint a picture of the neighbourhood by listing all the restaurants, lounges, shopping and cultural destinations just brush strokes away. We could tell you which subway is closer – Osgoode or St. Andrew – and how few kilometres you are from the Gardiner Expressway. But we won’t. Because we know you already know.

The Studio Condos will include two towers: one 31 storeys, the other 41. The smaller tower, which will be built first, will have 337 units and a nine-storey podium that will incorporate the OCAD gallery. The taller tower — the second phase of the project — will likely include 400 condos and around 25 townhomes. Units range from 419 to 1,294 square feet, not including the penthouses. A 2,500-square-foot penthouse will occupy the building’s entire top floor, with four sub-penthouses on the level below. The condos will have floor to ceiling glass, open floor plans and “great kitchens,” De Gasperis says. Eleven per cent of the homes at Studio on Richmond — or about 36 suites in the first tower — will be three-bedroom units.

Quadrangle Architects designed the two towers at Studio Condos on Richmond, which feature a series of stacked cubes. There will be terraces on some floors, “which breaks it up so it’s not a monotonous building,” De Gasperis says.

The first tower — which will incorporate the OCAD gallery — will have an outdoor party room, walk-out kitchen, BBQ and lounge area on the ninth floor. Inside there will be a party space that can be divided into a series of smaller rooms.
