The history

The 11-storey condo building, completed in 2011, has an interior dreamt up by French designer Philippe Starck. Professional soccer player Stefan Frei bought the condo in 2013 during his Toronto FC days. When he was traded to the Seattle Sounders, he kept the property. It has been leased out by a management company ever since. It’s available October 1.

The building is big on bare concrete, so this wouldn’t be a good home for anyone who doesn’t enjoy an industrial aesthetic.

By the numbers

• $3,800 per month • 1,000 square feet • 2 bedrooms • 1 bathroom • 1 terrace • 1 parking spot
