Welcome to Biblio Lofts
Your Story Starts Here
Your new home is waiting. Boutique condo living next door to Leslieville’s historic Queen & Saulter Library.
BIBLIO’s quiet, contemplative spaces are purposefully designed to be the place where your 12-hour dinner party gives way to the next morning’s espresso-fueled brainstorm. It’s a narrative consistent with the creative conscience of the area: 30 design-driven residences; unique and luxurious loft-style condos, faithfully laid out to be well lived-in. Living spaces that are bound in an elegant package built to be in constant conversation with its surroundings.
Interior
More Than Just a Pretty Cover
The interiors of your new home have been thoughtfully curated by Commute Design Studio with comfort in mind, inside and out.
All of BIBLIO’s lofts have been designed with an emphasis on the life you’ll lead within their walls. Inside your suite, you’ll find Scavolini kitchens with premium appliances, 9-foot-tall ceilings, cool yet cozy hardwood floors, and tons of lovingly crafted, custom designer finishes from Commute Design Studio. Every suite is an homage to urban living in Toronto.
Amenities
Rooftop Amenity
BIBLIO believes in putting its most friendly face forward. To that end, three premium retail storefronts and a dedicated lobby entrance greet passersby at street level. From there the building keeps things grounded with a private gym on the main floor. Moving on up, the elegant common room eagerly awaits your next party, while the intimate rooftop patio keeps watch over the bustle of Queen East below.
Neighbourhood
Heart is Where the Home is
Woven into the canvas of the community: a building that feels like your house, a neighbourhood that feels like your home.
Steps from the Don River and bound in rich history, Leslieville is a neighbourhood of short commutes and long conversations over great food. In the open and airy embrace of the East End, the buildings talk to each other. Beautiful buildings, each with its own unique character and timbre, reach up from the pavement and forward from the area’s rich past. Brownstones arch their eyebrows at each other, windows compliment doors across the street, and pillars stretch up to wave at each other from historic corners.
History for the Books
BIBLIO offers a forum for the street-smart and the well-read alike. Somewhere the pen is still mightier. A bacchanalia of ideas and points of view.
Leslieville’s rich history is evidenced by its iconic architecture. Once over the Queen Street Viaduct, completed in 1910, you’ll find streets lined by beautiful heritage buildings like the Broadview Hotel and our elegant neighbour, the Queen & Saulter Library, formerly known as Postal Station G, built in 1913.
Together these buildings tell a generational story. A tale of sprawling, multipurpose brick buildings housing tailors, studios, factory floors, and loft condos. Buildings where the models streaming in and out of studios meet young writers on the stairs. Where young photographers stare longingly out the windows as their motion-minded counterparts frame shots as a part of the city’s nascent film scene. Now these buildings are part of a bustling community that is changing at a steady pace all its own.
