    About 225 Sackville StreetPaintBox Condos

    With a name like PaintBox Condos, you’d expect some artistic flare, and this 26 storey glass tower doesn’t disappoint, featuring a stylish exterior clad in dark steel, with large windows panes, and littered with colourful accent panels.

    PaintBox Condos is located at 225 Sackville St in the recently revitalized Regent Park neighbourhood. If green spaces are a concern for you at all, you’ll be pleased to know that this property sits directly across the street from Regent Park itself — which offers tree shrouded benches, athletic facilities, and even a small water park.

    225 Sackville St provides its residents with some relaxing extras — fitness centre, media room, party room, event room, concierge, parking garage, and visitor parking. And while this can’t really be claimed as an amenity because it’s open to the public, Paintbox Bistro is on the ground floor, so you have a great place to grab lunch on-site.

    The Suites

    225 Sackville St is home to 282 suites, all of which are open concept and filled with natural light thanks to floor to ceiling windows. Suites are available in a variety of layouts and exposures for studio, 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 2 bedroom + den condos. Suite sizes vary from 392 square feet for a studio to 924 for a 2 bedroom + den.

    Units in this building have great value and there are several studio and 1 bedroom units that could be within reach for first time buyers. Regardless of which unit you end up with, you enjoy desirable features like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors. As well, all suites have private balconies.

    And what could be considered the icing on the cake is that this building is found in Regent Park; with a condo at 225 Sackville St you’re within walking distance of great restaurants, cozy cafes, lively pubs, and exciting neighbourhoods to the west.

    For much of its existence, most of Regent Park was made up of social housing. Seen as a transient neighbourhood, the area’s reputation suffered, and developers stayed away. In modern day, condo developers can’t get enough of this suddenly trendy neighbourhood, and businesses have followed suit, which has to an increase in the number of Toronto condos for sale in this traditionally low-key neighbourhood.

    The Neighbourhood

    As a resident of 225 Sackville St, you have some very unique entertainment options close to home — The Watah Theatre and Younger Than Beyoncé Gallery are just next door, there are several theatres for the performing arts nearby, and also recreation options like the Lower Don River Trail and Corktown Common.

    For dining out, there’s are some excellent choices nearby; Paintbox Bistro for sandwiches, Sukhothai for Thai food, Quincy's Afro-Kitchen and Bar for great food and music, Sultan of Samosas — you get the idea — and many more. Not to mention, fast food locations like Wendy’s and Tim Hortons.

    One of the best parts about this neighbourhood is how close it is to other desirable attractions; from 225 Sackville St, it’s only a 10 minute bus ride to the Eaton Centre — residents can shop until they drop with over 200 stores for the latest in fashion and technology, or take in events at Yonge-Dundas Square, catch live bands at Massey Hall, or plays at the Ed Mirvish Theatre. Plus, all the nightlife on Yonge Street is within your grasp.

    The Distillery District is close-by — residents can enjoy additional shopping at trendy stores like Gotstyle, Gentil Uomo, Queen's Trunk, and Hoi Bo for modern fashion. You can find home décor at Biltmore Furniture and Akroyd Furniture, jewellery at Corktown Designs, and much more.

    The Distillery District also provides entertainment with many theatres in the area like Nightwood Theatre and Tapestry Opera. Afterwards you can enjoy amazing dishes at Archeo and Madrina Bar y Tapas. And for a drink in a historic setting, there’s Stirling Room.

    Lastly, this location makes it easy to get to the Entertainment District to watch the Leafs, Jays and Raptors, catch big acts the Scotiabank Arena and Sony Centre for the Performing Arts. And if what’s close-by doesn’t satisfy your nightlife itch, you’ll find more pubs and nightclubs in the Entertainment District than you could ever visit.

    Transportation

    One of the chief concerns for most buyers when it comes to condos, is walkability — if you crave an all in one experience, you’ll be thrilled with 225 Sackville St. The building has a 92 Walk Score, and with a condo at this location, you can accomplish all but the most obscure errands by foot. Grocery runs are often the exception, but with FreshCo just minutes away, even grocery pickups can be accomplished on foot.

    As a resident of this building, you really don’t need to own a car — there are east and westbound streetcars and buses running right outside of your front door, with service to Queen Station for subway lines. You’ll also find north and southbound buses on Parliament, and additional routes throughout the neighbourhood.

    If you’re a car owner, don’t worry, this is a very driver-friendly location. Drivers can quickly reach the Don Valley Parkway by going east on Dundas St E for the nearest on-ramp; once there, it’s easy to connect to the Gardiner Expressway or head north for the 401.
