A loft is a loft is a loft and for the purist loft-dweller, this has it all. A 6-storey building built in 1916 has 79 units. Industrial style 13 feet ceilings allow natural light to enhance the exposed brick, wood beams and concrete columns. A few units have a private freight elevator depositing the lucky owner into their own residence. Some owners have customized to their individual taste. Close to the Danforth with easy access to TTC, units in this building have increased dramatically in value.
