■Offer Just Got Accepted

Queen Street West

It was such a beautiful sunny day to spend my Friday afternoon in Queen Street West. Around noon Jessica called me and told me she wanted to view a unit in Chocolate Company Lofts which just came to the market. We had ups and downs a couple of times, so I really wanted to secure this unit for her if she decides to submit an offer.



I jumped in my Prius and headed to Queen Street West. Toronto’s Queen Street West “has been declared as one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods by Vogue Magazine. In the magazine’s September 2014 issue, Queen Street West has been ranked second in a list of 15 neighbourhoods from across the world.” Vogue’s Nick Remsen writes Queen Street West is a “verifiable artery of indie patisseries, homegrown labels, and hidden-from-view galleries – hallmarks of hipness, if ever they existed.”



Jessica loved the view, high ceilings, bedroom with big windows, kitchen backsplash and more! She goes “Nat, let’s do it! I am ready for signing an offer”. After we left the building, I had to rush to KW office in King West to submit an offer to avoid a potential bidding war. A couple hours later the seller accepted our offer thanks to the listing agent! Yay!! With approvals from both her lawyer and mortgage broker she will be a resident in the Chocolate Company Lofts right before Halloween. Jessica said “I am quite excited and grateful to Nat for reorganizing her afternoon to make it happen.”

辞書で “loft”を検索すると「物を収納する屋根裏」という訳がでてきますが、トロントには元チョコレート会社やシアーズの倉庫、教会、羽根工場やおもちゃ工場を改装したコンドミニアムがロフトとして分類されています。特徴は、天井が通常のコンドより高いこと（約９フィート以上）やレンガやコンクリートのむき出しの壁。希少価値があるためか個性派ヤングプロフェッショナルの間で大人気。
