Overview
Okay, we admit it, the Bohemian Embassy isn’t all that bohemian, nor is it an actual embassy. Rather, the soft lofts at 1169 & 1171 Queen Street West are curiously modern and sleek for a building with their name.
This two-part building is made up of a mid-rise portion at 1169 Queen Street West, along with a tower over at 1171 Queen West that reaches to 19 storeys high. Basically taking over the entire block, the soft lofts at 1169 & 1171 Queen Street West are divided into 364 homes that attract all types of urban buyers. And even following some delays in its completion due to financial and legal concerns, by 2011 development was sold out and filled with happy homeowners.
Perhaps the Pemberton Group chose the title of the Bohemian Embassy Flats and Lofts for its ode to Little Portugal and the surrounding neighbourhood of Queen West, which is chock-full of some of the most artistic, creative, and trendsetting individuals in the city. Another theory is that the building was named for a 1960s book series, which is equally believable considering its bright, minimalist aesthetics.
While maintenance fees are notably high at 1169 & 1171 Queen West, these payments are balanced by lower prices compared to neighbouring buildings, as well as a robust rainy day fund and a wide array of amenities. Residents living in the building have access to a gym and sauna, a cinema, meeting room, party room, and rooftop terrace with barbecues, visitor parking, guest suites, and a concierge and security guard.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
