Location
The Building is located on the west side of Spadina between King Street West and Wellington Street.
Neighbourhood
Home to a large number of older loft construction buildings originally designed for warehousing and light manufacturing purposes, most of these buildings have been renovated to accommodate commercial office tenants. The space often appeals to businesses in creative fields such as software development, web design, architecture, design, marketing, advertising, communications, publishing and film production. In addition many new residential condominium buildings displaying a variety of innovative architectural designs are now dispersed within or planned for the area.
Within easy walking distance are: the Royal Alexandra Theatre, the Princess of Wales Theatre, Roy Thompson Hall, Second City, dozens of Restaurants, Cafes and Bars, the Club District, Rogers Centre (home of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argonauts), the Air Canada Centre (home of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors), shopping in the renowned Eaton Centre or on eclectic Queen Street, the CN Tower, Scotia Bank Centre (Paramount Theatres, Imax and Chapters), The Financial Core, University of Toronto and the world- renowned Hospitals of University Avenue.
Transportation
The neighbourhood surrounding the Building is bi-sected by the King St. street car line and the Spadina Avenue Light Rapid Transit Line. It is within walking distance of the Yonge/University Subway line and Toronto's Union Station (the intersection of Rail, Subway and GO train service). It is only a few minutes drive to the Gardiner Expressway with its links to the Don Valley Parkway/404 and Highway 427 (the route to Pearson International Airport). The Toronto City Centre Airport is a short cab ride away. One of Toronto's main north/south designated bicycle routes feeds into the area. It is just a five-minute ride to The Martin Goodman Trail (bike path) that runs east/west the full length of Toronto along the shores of Lake Ontario.
Size
The Building has three stories and a basement. The two lower floors consist of about 3,600 square feet each. The third floor comprises about 2,500 sq. ft. The 3,600 square foot basement has a low ceiling, but is suitable for storage.
Construction
The building was originally a semi-detached house built of wood and brick. Over the years, additions were constructed in both the front and back to give the structure a more commercial character. However, many of the residential features remain, giving the building a unique character.
Parking
There is a parking lot operated by an independent operator directly behind the building where paid daily and monthly parking is available.
