We have some good news, and we have some bad news. Let's start with the good news…

It's always great to hear that an innovative new housing project has done well and is ready to proceed, and that's the case now with Curated Properties' Edition Richmond, a townhome project on Richmond Street in Toronto's West Queen West. Designed by AUDAXarchitecture and Cecconi Simone, the 20-unit project has only 4 units still available, and that means that demolition of the presentation gallery, a former car repair garage, is imminent in mid-February, and you only have a few weekends left to visit if you have not been (Sat and Sun Noon to 5).

So if that's the good news for the buyers, what's the bad news? The bad news is that demolition of the presentation gallery—a former car repair garage turned ultra-cool venue for parties, weddings, and oh yeah, selling condos—is imminent in mid-February! Few clubs in town look as cool as does the space that Cecconi Simone have created here. It's so cool in fact that yes, as mentioned above, a wedding actually took place here last summer, so cool in fact that Hugo Boss sponsored a party here during TIFF, as did Vitaminwater…

…so that's all pretty cool! What made it such a hit? It could be the painted mini, it could be the beautiful black and white shots mounted on the walls, it could be the white-on-white design that allows special lighting, the people, and any accents strewn about to be the colourful highlights of events here.

With all of that coming to a close here soon, we thought we'd give you the heads up that there's not much time to see the space and tour the model suite, which frankly is also quite the looker.

Rooms at the back of each unit benefit from a lightwell that opens up rooms on both the main and bedrrom floors to natural light, so not only does daylight pour into the front of each unit, it also floods into the living room area from a skylight…

…while the light from above shines past the glass-walled shower to the left of the photo below, filling the marble-clad bathroom with daylight too.

That's a flat screen television set into the mirrored wall above, by the way. Everything here is beautifully detailed and fitted…

…and there's a lot more to see, like the building's Sky Gardens for example.

As mentioned already, there are only a couple of weekends left to view the presentation centre. It's at 856 Richmond Street West, and it's open both Saturday and Sunday from noon until 5.
