533 Richmond Street W

Although the Five Nine on Richmond lofts have yet to receive a trophy of their own, this building and the homes within are a direct reflection of their award winning designers, Core Architects. These architects created the boutique soft loft residence at 533 Richmond Street West along with help from the building’s namesake, 59 Developments.

Built in 2007, the Five Nine on Richmond is made up of 51 Toronto lofts spanning 9 floors. The exterior is a contemporary balance of concrete and glass, a theme that is carried throughout individual lofts as well. Even the lobby is a chic nod to the homes upstairs, and spans two storeys for a hint at the ceiling heights to come.

One benefit of a newer construction as opposed to authentic hard lofts is the ability to leave ample space for common amenities.

Other amenities include gas hookups on balconies and terraces, as well as a welcoming attitude toward pets.

Lofts at the Five Nine on Richmond range in size from 500 to 2,000 square feet, and vary in scope from studios to penthouses that span multiple storeys.

All of the kitchens are equipped with gas stoves and state-of-the-art appliances as well.
