Condo of the Week: $780,000 for a two-storey loft in a former perfumery on King West
Address: 833 King Street West, Penthouse 607
Neighbourhood: Niagara
Agent: Elizabeth Machula and Chris Dawson. Re/Max Condos Plus Corp., Brokerage
Price: $779,900
The Place: A two-bedroom, two-level unit in a 1930s-era perfume factory at King and Niagara.
Bragging Rights: The walk-in closet in the master bedroom has enough shelving for a Kardashian-sized shoe collection.
Big Selling Point: The roomy bedrooms and kitchen feel more like a house than a loft—perfect for downtowners who crave more living space but have no desire to maintain a lawn.
Possible Deal Breaker: On hot summer days, the neighbourhood abattoir can unleash a decidedly unpleasant odour. But reprieve may be on its way: a recent application to change the site’s zoning (from industrial to mixed use) has the realtor predicting it could soon be sold to developers.

• $836 in monthly maintenance fees

Gorgeous but $780K and I have to share the roof top terrace? :(
Toronto should be renamed CondoLand since the city just lets developers run the game and create the only urban planning vision it has. The abattoir was there first and now realtors have their grubby little paws all over it.
“$836 in monthly maintenance fees” Am I the only one who thinks that is absolutely ridiculous?
Totally agree. It’s like another rent. And this building doesn’t even seem to have a pool/gym. Plus, I live in the area and it sounds even more ridiculous to me to pay 800k for a pig-slaughter-house odour every time you open the window.
Oh despite all the whining, it is rather lovely. I could be happy there!
It’s actually pretty normal price, considering the space. Heard crazier price when I was looking for a place downtown (somewhere along $1000/month for 600sqft). Sad but true.
