Queen and Portland Condos | 156 Portland Street
Queen & Portland Lofts | A Hidden Gem Above the Action
📍 156 Portland St, Toronto – Queen West
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in the middle of the action without actually hearing it, Queen & Portland nails that balance.
From the street, you wouldn’t even realize there’s a condo here. The first few floors are all retail (hello, Loblaws and Winners), while the residential levels are set back from Queen Street. Translation? You get the perks of living in Queen West without the 24/7 street noise.
Inside, units are sleek, modern, and full of light. The 9-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows make even the smaller floor plans feel airy. Layouts vary, and yes, some are long and narrow (it’s a mid-rise thing). A handful of units don’t have balconies, so if outdoor space is a must, double-check the floor plan.
The rooftop BBQ terrace is the star of the show. It’s not just for show—it actually gets used. Expect to meet your neighbors over burgers and beers in the summer.
And if you hate winter? This place is a seasonal survival dream. You could literally live indoors—grocery shop, grab a coffee, hit the gym—all without stepping outside.
This is prime Queen West living—minus the noise and winter suffering.
