Why Your Next Home Should Be in Toronto’s Downtown East End

“Go west, young man, go west,” author Horace Greeley famously said in an 1851 editorial aimed at America’s opportunistic and exceptional. That’s where life happens, the argument went – and if you’re quick enough, you’ll beat the crowds.

Were he alive today to evaluate Toronto’s landscape with the same intent, he would probably guide you in a different direction.

Downtown lacks character; the West End is, dare we say, over. North of Bloor? Never heard of it.

Indeed, it’s time to head east.

Corktown, just east of the city centre, combines all the ideals of urban living – a creative hub within walking distance to the King and Queen streetcar lines, Distillery District, and St. Lawrence Market – the best in the world, no less. It’s an intersection of culture, creativity and art.

Step into a neighbourhood of authentic character and unpretentious community, where some of the best shops and restaurants in the city still feel local enough to give the impression that you’re discovering a hidden gem upon every visit. Its validation as “the spot to be” doesn’t come from headline hype or top 10 lists – it manifests internally, in quiet confidence; in that soft smile flashing across your face as you stroll down the sidewalk feeling right at home in a place that’s your little secret.

Those who live here just get it.

Excuse us if boasting about the East End isn’t very east, but there’s just too much happening here to keep quiet.

Want in on another little secret? The perfect opportunity to call this vibrant neighbourhood home is here.

That’s not hyperbole, either. Enter: home.

The aptly named address, a project of Great Gulf and hullmark, is a reflection of the neighbourhood. Each one of its 550 suites offers not just living space, but livable space – no awkward layouts, dark corners, or need for the term ‘shoebox’.

You’ll be privy to an artist workspace, community garden, a lobby that acts as a truly useable space, a pool, and even fireplaces in addition to the usual amenities you’d expect of modern condo living.

Like Corktown itself, we’re going to preserve a sense of discovery about your new home – click here to check out the development for yourself and get exclusive access to downtown’s most exciting residential project.

Just don’t forget to invite us to your home-warming party.
