From First Condos at East Village:

There will be new homes for the pioneering ‘First Villagers’ who snap up this opportunity to live in the heart of East Village. Choose from studio, one bedroom, one plus den, two bedroom and two plus den homes. FIRST offers flexible accommodation for creative living from the mid-$200,000s.

Interiors are by Mike Niven Interior Design Inc. (MNID). His look is inspired by creative spaces of famous artists, from Picasso to Hemingway. This is the space you need to make a new life with all the creature comforts close at hand.

No matter which home you choose, you’ll be able to let your personality shine through in these contemporary plans. A neutral colour palette in charcoals and light greys by MNID is your blank canvas.

The beauty of a kitchen at FIRST is its adaptability. A movable custom-designed island with plenty of storage. For sit-down dinners, it seats four. When you feel like hosting an open house simply push the island to the side for a buffet.

The main bathroom and ensuite are equally streamlined and durable with quartz countertops, raised overmount sink and single-lever chrome faucets. Glass accent tiles add subtle texture to the white ceramic in the oversized shower.

In the living space and bedroom, it’s an open invitation to experiment with furniture and colour. In many homes, you’ll love the great views of the river framed through FIRST’s over-height glazing.
