2178 Queen Street East

2178 Queen Street E is prominently located in Toronto’s highly sought‑after Beach neighbourhood. Positioned on the north side of Queen Street East at the corner of Maclean Avenue, the property occupies a rectangular lot with 68 feet of frontage along Queen Street. The building’s main lobby fronts Maclean Avenue, accessed via a stairway rising from Queen Street, giving the property a defined and elevated street presence. The building itself is perched above grade, with the rear three‑quarters of the structure built up due to the natural topography. The broader area slopes south toward Lake
Ontario, contributing to the neighbourhood’s distinctive character and walkable, village‑like feel.

At the rear, an alley accessed from Maclean Avenue provides functional service access, accommodating garbage storage and offering a secondary entrance to the building. Queen Street East in this area is characterized by vibrant mixed‑use retail at grade with complementary low‑rise apartment buildings, while the surrounding residential neighbourhood features higher‑end single‑family homes on mature, tree‑lined streets.
