THE HUDSON
King West's Newest Luxury Condo
As a first-time buyer in 2003, I looked at numerous properties that were available for resale as well as new developments. As you may recall, 2003 was a peak year for new condo developments all over the GTA.
As a design-savvy buyer, I concluded my search with a purchase of a 731 sq.ft. 1 bedroom plus den unit at The Hudson. Why? I instantly recognized that this condominium had the right formula for success for it's amazing value and the following features: |
- A great location at the northeast corner of King Street West and Spadina Avenue
- A full service concierge available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Smart floorplans and one of the few buildings with 2 FULL bathrooms in 1+den plans
- High-quality STANDARD finishes: granite kitchen countertops, 4 stainless steel appliances, pre-engineered hardwood floors, 9' ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows for plenty of natural light
- Cutting edge interior design by Brian Gluckstein. Just pass by and check out the lobby to see a sample of how stunning this building looks.
- Architectural design by Diamond and Schmitt Architects, a 6-time Governer General's Architecture Award winner
- The Hudson Club includes an impressive fireside lounge, private dining facility, media room, games room, fitness centre, rooftop barbecue area and outdoor garden with reflecting pool
- All this backed by Great Gulf Homes, who have brought to Toronto other fine lifestyle-oriented luxury condos such as 18 Yorkville, The Morgan, The Saint James and the future X Condominiums
When it comes to a combination of location, luxury and "best bang for the buck", The Hudson is today's best choice in downtown Toronto living.
