Studio on Richmond Condo
It looks like our neighbourhood parking lot/partial rubble land down the street is finally coming down and being turned into the Studio on Richmond Condo. The reported 41 and 31 storey towers will be a good uplift and revitalization to a land that once housed a nightclub and will also induce much needed energy into the Richmond, Duncan and Nelson Street area. This project, I'm assuming, would be part of the redevelopment master plan of the Entertainment District.
The idea
"It’s not Queen West. It’s not King West. It’s Richmond. Duncan & Richmond. A bit of both worlds, yet a world entirely unto itself. It’s where Financial and Cultural Districts converge, creating a swirling dynamic of dollar bills and clubland thrills traded on the most important index of all – quality of life.
We could paint a picture of the neighbourhood by listing all the restaurants, lounges, shopping and cultural destinations just brush strokes away. We could tell you which subway is closer – Osgoode or St. Andrew – and how few kilometres you are from the Gardiner Expressway. But we won’t. Because we know you already know."
