485 Wellington Street Condos

Toronto’s Fashion District, which is bound by Queen Street West to the north, Front Street to the south, Peter Street to the east and Bathurst Street to the west, is part of the city’s downtown “urban growth centre.” Already a vibrant downtown destination, the city is predicting and planning for even more growth here, which makes investing in new developments a smart move.

The Fashion District has its roots in the manufacturing industry and was once Toronto’s premier destination for fabric and textile production, helped by its proximity to the city’s railyards. Many of the brick warehouses and factories still line the streets here, some of them turned into residential lofts, art galleries, restaurants or offices for technology and creative businesses. These nestle into the neighbourhood beside contemporary condominium buildings and some of the city’s hottest theatres, bars and nightclubs, making for a unique and compelling streetscape.

The area surrounding 485 Wellington Street West has been a particularly desirable location for infill development lately and the transition continues. Just south of the development, two large mixed-use developments are being proposed, both of which will add significant living, working and retail space, as well as public realm improvements, such as parks and a pedestrian mews. In an increasingly popular pocket to live in, developments like these and 485 Wellington will effectively house the growing population and contribute to a healthy, sustainable economy.
