  Modern concepts and architecture drive the design of a 16-storey condominium -- called simply gläs -- near King Street and Spadina Avenue. Its developers see the project, with its fully furnished suites and townhouses with private garages, as something quite unique.

  "The general premise was 'let's do something different, something the city hasn't seen and inspire others to do the same,' " says Brad Lamb, president of Brad J. Lamb Realty Inc., which is handling the sales and marketing of the development, located at Charlotte and Oxley streets.

  At the base will be two-storey townhouses, which the developer has dubbed "loft houses." Designed by Architects Alliance Inc., they will extend along the building's entire length, and have a two-story living room at one end and a garage at the other.

  There also will be 28 boutique hotel-style suites, complete with appliances, a queen-sized bed and cutlery. They will be ideal second homes for people who work or entertain downtown. "It's got everything you need if you are just going to come in with a suitcase," Mr. Lamb notes.

  Developers: Harhay Construction Management Ltd. and Niche Development
