Richard Bigley Lofts at 98 Queen St E, built in 1876, has been designated as a heritage property since 1973, due to the building’s significance on the architectural scene. Fashioned into only three suites, these are some of the most exclusive and extraordinary units on the Toronto lofts scene today. Each of the three lofts occupies its own floor and has its own private elevator, as well as gorgeous hardwood floors, soaring ten foot ceilings, balconies and bay windows from which you can enjoy breathtaking city panoramas. This building has enjoyed multiple uses over it’s one hundred and thirty years plus life, but its name comes as a tribute to the well-known Happy Thought stoves salesman who constructed this historically valuable building in the Queen East neighbourhood.
While your home may be a step back in time, with close proximity to King East’s quickly developing restaurant scene, complete with venues for live swing, jump blues and boogie woogie music as well as the neighbourhood’s high-end furniture stores, your Friday night can be a throwback to yesteryear, while you spend Saturday delving into the modern world of design. The nearby Financial District means that work is only steps away, but if your place of business is further afoot, the Queen streetcar will practically drop you off at your front door. With such easy accessibility and your own private elevator to whisk you away to your oasis in the city, how can you wrong with the exclusive and historically-rich suites at Richard Bigley Lofts?
