Electra Lofts 1029 King Street West

The trendy westward wave along King Street makes a splash at 1029 King Street West. These lofts were newly completed in 2002 by the same folks who brought us the innovative lofts across the street. Playing with an unconventional palette of exterior colour, (read: unsightly yellow paint), this 11-storey structure makes a statement on the corner of King and Shaw streets- a short strut to the shops, dining and galleries of funky Queen Street West. These 2-level mezzanine lofts have 17-foot ceilings and balconies or terraces. Suites range from 370sqft to 1580sqft. Amenities include exercise and recreation rooms. Prices start at approximately $325 per squzre foot and rise to over $400 per square foot. There is a security pass system and guard patrolling the property. Suites have private balconies with unobstructed views.
