This is the aesthetic of Context King West.
A real building for real people. Shared spaces
and organic architecture that encourage connection,
community and design for everyone. Brought to
you by Context, Toronto’s most award-winning
developer whose projects command some of the
highest rents and resales in the Toronto market.
Context King West combines two types of design.
Warm and welcoming grounded brick archways.
Contemporary, light-filled geometric shapes.
A distinct environment whose unity is based on
the connective roots of community. No
memberships. No lineups. No restricted access.
Creating a new village in the urban environment.
Context King West is a new alternative for condominium living. It’s a reaction to the provocation and demands of the area. Context King West is the answer, reconnecting the area with honesty and authenticity.
“The most cleverly organized, best designed and most sympathetic...”
Context, founded in 1997 by Stephen Gross and Howard Cohen, creates
innovative residential condominium buildings in Toronto’s downtown
that appeal to those seeking the smart urban lifestyle.
As Globe and Mail urban columnist John Barber wrote in his review
of RadioCity, Context projects are “The most cleverly organized,
best designed and most sympathetic,” and they “are not only the best
of their type, they are the type.” We became “the type”, as Barber
says, with our first project, 20 Niagara, near Front and Bathurst
Streets, which demonstrated that there was a market in Toronto
for modernist condominiums that fit seamlessly into Toronto’s most
desirable neighbourhoods. 20 Niagara, completed in 1998, won the
Ontario Association of Architects’ Award for Architectural Excellence,
and the City of Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Award. Ever since,
our projects have consistently won awards and critical praise for their
striking, contemporary design and sensitivity to their urban context.
PARAMETERS THAT DISTINGUISH US FROM THE COMPETITION:
We build our own buildings. Thanks to our extensive constructionmanagement experience, we have complete control of all facets of construction from beginning to end.
We are style trendsetters. Context pioneered open kitchens at a time when doing away with the formal dining room and allowing people to see the kitchen from the living room was considered radical. We were one of the first developers to introduce stainless-steel appliances and granite countertops as standard finishes. Now, at Context King West, Context continues to innovate inside the suites. Kitchens are designed to look like a seamless wall unit, complete with integrated appliances and premium finishes. Bathrooms include tiled feature walls, custom-designed vanities with space-saving drawers and solid surface countertops with integrated sinks. Context projects continually push the limits of standard features and finishes, and Context King West is no exception.
We have strong financial covenants and great financial backing. Context is supported by Waterloo Capital Corporation, a private company managed by Stephen Gross and Gerry Schwartz, President and controlling shareholder of Onex Corp., a merchant banking firm running corporations with annual sales exceeding $8-billion and assets of over $5-billion. Waterloo Capital has nearly $100-million invested in Context projects. Waterloo Capital and Context have strong links with Bank of Nova Scotia, HSBC, BNP Paribas and First National.
