LISTING AGENT Christopher Bibby, Suttton Group-Associates Realty Inc.

The Action: Roughly 50 buyers scheduled appointments to view this one-bedroom plus den suite in one of the hottest hotel and residential developments in King West.

What They Got: Completed about two years ago on the ninth floor of the Thomspson Residences, this 900 square-foot suite opens into a kitchen dressed with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters and island, and hardwood floors that flow throughout.

Along the wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a combined living and dining area and a master suite with sliding balcony doors and access to a four-piece bathroom that can also be entered via the den.

Additional conveniences include laundry facilities and parking, plus water and heating is covered by the monthly fee of $523.

Residents have easy access to hotel facilities and services on site, as well as shops, cafes and galleries along King Street.

The Agent’s Take: “The [previous] owner … made sure every possible upgrade was done,” agent Christopher Bibby says.

“The building is very high demand as it has access to the Thompson Hotel and its amenities, which include three restaurants, a gym, two bars/lounges and the rooftop pool, which overlooks the entire downtown core. The building is in a league of its own in terms of amenities.”
