Past
King West Village has one of the best selection of condominium buildings in the city. These are low and mid-rise buildings. Many of these are designed as soft lofts with units that feature lots of light and open spaces, high ceilings and balconies. Some of these buildings also contain two-storey loft condominium townhouses.
There are a handful of authentic hard loft buildings in the neighbourhood, that are characterized by their red brick exterior, large windows and architectural accents. These loft units may have features such as concrete floors, exposed wood beams, and exposed brick. There are also a handful of historically designated row houses on Draper Street that date back to the 1880s.
