705 King Street W

The Summit II was built in 1985 — long before new conversions and towering high-rises were the buzz of King West neighbourhood. The Summit II is a 12-storey condominium housing 304 downtown Toronto condos at 705 King St West; with spacious units and a great location, this property holds its own against newer developments in the area. This building is part of a 3 phase development that includes The Summit Condos, and The Summit III Condos.

The building’s exterior is comprised of red brick and large panels of glass, and the property itself is quite large, which allows for impressive amenities: large outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness centre, games room, business centre, squash court, theatre, 24 hour concierge, security guard, and parking garage.

705 King Street W is an incredible location — with restaurants and bars on King, boutique shopping on Queen, several green spaces in the area, and it’s just a short walk to the Entertainment District. This building is a great choice for young professionals, small families, and first-time home buyers who are looking for an affordable condo in an exciting neighbourhood.

The Summit II is a tree-shrouded property, with gardens, green spaces on site, and plenty of enticing amenities; in addition to all of this, suites in this building are spacious and well-appointed. Condos are based on a variety of layouts, and sizes range from 398 square feet for a studio to roughly 1100 for a 2 bedroom + den.

Suites at The Summit II have huge window-walls ensuring that units are filled with sunlight in the daytime. Many units have seen some form of personalization over the years so finishes will likely vary between units, but prospective buyers can expect hardwood floors, updated kitchens, and spacious master bedrooms; there are no private balconies, but residents have shared access to a large green space behind the building.

Units in this building have great value and are below the average price per square foot of other King West condos for sale — this presents an opportunity for investors, as King West continues to be one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in the city.

As a resident of 705 King St W you have a vibrant nightlife just outside your front door — and a short trip to the Entertainment District for Toronto’s biggest attractions.

Steakhouse for that picture perfect steak; as a bonus, many restaurants on King are open late, perfect for a bite after a night on the town.

And if you have a shopping itch that must be scratched — you can stroll north to Queen for a vast selection of shops for everything from DIY materials to upscale fashion and accessories.
