Overview of The Hive Lofts

The Hive Lofts is a small mid-rise project located in the Stonegate-Queensway neighbourhood. The building is designed by Teeple Architects and is wrapped in glass and corrugated zinc on a concrete base.

Unlike many lofts in Toronto, this is not an industrial conversion but a purpose-built soft loft that introduces an exciting architectural form to Etobicoke. The Hive was recognized as one of the 10 best condos in Toronto by Toronto Life in 2012.

The use of industrial materials contrasts with the surrounding streetscape to add an element of creativity. The Hive does not conform to typical area architecture, but brings a modern presence to The Queensway through innovative design and appropriate density.

Suite Sizes and Pricing

With a diverse mix of suites, each of the floor plans ranges from 488 sq. ft. up to 1,302 sq. ft., complementing the modern finishes that reflect the exterior envelope of brick and glass walls. Due to the small number of suites, The Hive commands a premium price point, with an average of $741 per square foot.

The Hive Lofts Lifestyle

About the Developer

Symmetry Developments, with President Sayf Hassan, is committed to developing projects that define neighbourhood character. For The Hive, Teeple Architects and Weston Consulting collaborated on the design and planning process.

The Hive resulted from a partnership that secured zoning and site plan amendments to deliver a higher-density project on an urban site through thoughtful architectural form and function.
