  Baywood Homes has officially launched sales of its Bohemian Embassy condominium on Queen Street West. The project brings great new neighbours to a great old neighbourhood, says Natascha Pieper, Baywood's Sales and Marketing Manager.

  The project is indeed and eye-catcher. Baywood has created a form of art, a sort of triptych, a 19-storey tower at the rear of the property, an eight-storey mid-rise fronting on Queen Street and binding them together, an exquisite central courtyard, lushly landscaped and accessible through a welcoming arched gateway. The project has managed to combine enormous value for residences with special, elegant grace notes for the entire community.

  Now, Baywood Homes is bringing back a bit of that hip, artsy feeling with its new condominium project on Queen St. West, aptly named Bohemian Embassy.

  Natascha Pieper, Baywood's sales and marketing manager, says Bohemian Embassy will resemble a triptych — a set of three artworks — with a 19-storey tower at the rear of the property, an eight-storey mid-rise on the front, and a courtyard binding them together.

  The Bohemian Embassy will have 345 suites, including a number of flats and two-storey lofts.

  They were designed by II by IV Design and range from 475-square-foot, one-bedroom units to large, 940-square-foot, two-bedroom-plus-den, two-storey lofts.

  It is located at 1171 Queen St. West at Gladstone.

  Fittingly, Baywood Homes is now contributing its version of cool on Queen Street West with its new Bohemian Embassy, a stylish condominium in the heart of the city's cultural capital on the corner of Queen and Gladstone, and just steps from the equally famous Toronto icon, the Drake Hotel.

  This updated salute to the best of urban lifestyles offers tow buildings and architecturally charming townhomes, all designed by award-winning architects Page & Steele with lobbies and amenities by the renowned II by IV Design Associates Inc.

  The project is comprised of a nine-storey mid-rise building facing Queen Street West that will have retail stores on the street level, residential suites and recreational amentities for the residents, in addition to a 19-storey tower tucked behind it where residents can enjoy a view of the city or lake. The townhomes complement the site and offer a change of pace for those seeking to live in a creative neighbourhood.

  Baywood has taken great care to offer the widest range of suites in both design and price. The 345 units encompassing flats and Lofts start from $159,900 and top out at a magnificent 1,200-square-foot, two-level, two-bedroom and two-bath loft.
