Foundry Lofts Are A Unique Conversion
Authentic loft living in Davenport Village
Take a trip back in time - next stop, one of the most innovative Toronto loft developments. What was once a warehouse for building electric locomotives is now the home of Foundry Lofts, the newest development by E-Park Development Corporation, and part of the Davenport Village community.
Back in the early 1900s, Canada Foundry Co. Ltd. built and supplied locomotives for railways across Canada. Today, the rich history of this company and the Great Canadian Railway is kept alive with the restoration and conversion of the warehouse into 104 hard lofts in Toronto.
With the successful launch of Phase 1, Davenport Village, which sold out in the matter of a few months, the second phase, Foundry Lofts, is expected to sell just as quickly.
“We’ve kept the price low to get this community started - dollar for dollar, it’s the best price in the GTA,” says Sam Moses, vice-president of new homes sales for Norman Hill Reality. No one-storey lofts remain, but there are large two-bedroom, two-storey lofts start from the low $300’s.
The most unique feature of Foundry Lofts has to be its living atrium. Situated in the heart of this community, the 16,000-square-foot atrium is a monument to exclusive community living. “No other Toronto loft conversion offers an atrium like this,” says Tom Falus, principal of E-Park Development Corporation.
Feel free to take a walk in any kind of weather, no matter what the season - this interior green oasis filled with trees, park benches and cobblestone-like walkways is yours to enjoy. “The living atrium serves as an extension of outdoor space for every loft in the community,” says Moses.
Within this lush atrium, you’ll find two interior amenity buildings. “The buildings offer all kinds of amenities: a fitness centre, an entertainment centre that will feature movies,” says Falus.
A recreation/gallery space for displaying your works of art also includes a full kitchen and servery - a unique place to host your next soiree. Keep your body in tip-top shape at the fitness centre, and take care of business in the meeting room. There’s no need to look farther than just outside your front door to find everything you need. For work or play, going downtown is never a problem, with two TTC subway stops just minutes away.
These hard lofts in Toronto are a rare find. Incorporating original exposed brick walls and large warehouse-style windows, the Foundry Lofts are the real deal. Some lofts offer outdoor patios and most lofts feature windows overlooking the atrium in addition to original warehouse-style windows looking out to the city.
Although this may have been a century-old train foundry, everything inside these Toronto lofts is ultra-modern. Open-concept designer kitchens offer slab maple cabinetry with extended uppers; granite countertops; ceramic backsplash; four stainless steel appliances; and large islands for preparing meals or grabbing a quick bite to eat.
Escape the stresses of life in your spa-like bathroom. Getting ready for work or a night on the town is simple with a custom-designed vanity with an oval loft basin mounted above; a deep soaker tub; a frameless glass shower stall; and a framed mirror. Bathrooms also feature ceramic tile flooring and ceramic tile surround on the wall around the tub.
All of these Toronto lofts include high-quality standard features. The lofts boast engineered pre-finished hardwood flooring in the kitchen, living and dining room, den and bedrooms, and elegant open-riser oak stair cases. And mindful of rising utility costs, E-Park Development Corporation has included an energy-efficient heating and air conditioning system with its own thermostat and fan control in each loft.
