Condo of the Week: $6.5 million for a King West sky mansion with an infinity pool
Condo of the Week: $6.5 million for a King West sky mansion with an infinity pool
Address: 500 Wellington Street West, Unit 701
Neighbourhood: King West
Agent: Jonathan Ferrier, Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., Brokerage
Price: $6,500,000
The Place: A luxury full-floor unit with private elevator access in a boutique King West building.
The History: This 10-storey tower, completed in 2011, was voted Best Residential Building at the 2013 Pug Awards. With only 17 units in the building, snagging a spot here is a rarity—although the third floor and penthouse units have both been on the market in the past few years. The original owner of this particular unit purchased it as a raw concrete shell and customized the layout with a built-in aquarium, home theatre and large open-concept space for a personal gym and games room.
Big Selling Point: With a 16-person dining area, glass-enclosed wine cellar, custom outdoor kitchen and infinity pool, this place can definitely handle a party.
Possible Deal Breaker: A romantic dip under the city lights is one of the perks of having a terrace pool, but with three floors of similar terraces up above, the new owner may not have the most privacy.

You could also mention that the ‘original owner’ who completed all of the extravagant customizations was also the developer of the building
This is a prime example of how money can really augment a complete lack of taste. Congratulations on creating something truly, remarkably, uniquely hideous.
In picture #3 the back wall of the living room is the pool… so strange.
Simply awful.
I don’t really care for the cabinetry or some of the furniture choices but I otherwise think this unit is fantastic. It reminds me a bit of a boutique hotel and that pool view is pretty hard to beat. The price is pretty astronomical but I guess that’s more a reflection of 5,000sqft right downtown.
Love it… haters will be haters cause they cant afford it! if I win 649, would surely get my hands on this. Love the centre island and would keep it with the chairs… but would have to plunk down around $50k on the kitchen to take out those wood paneling or what the hell they are to accentuate the beauty of the kitchen more
Come on , that’s awesome…
Wow. It’s stunning.
Although even if I *could* afford it (including then taxes and maintenance fees!!) it wouldn’t be the choice to invest that kind of $$$ in.
Nice but insane to spend that kind of money. To each his own- I guess!
Personally, I think you need more than 649 money to buy this. This is an awesome place though.
