Pape church con­ver­sion a part of history

Com­pleted in 2004, The Glebe is a fab­u­lous loft con­ver­sion of the archi­tec­turally mag­nif­i­cent Riverdale Pres­by­ter­ian Church, located at 660 Pape Avenue, in prime Riverdale and just steps from the subway.

Very rarely does an oppor­tu­nity come along to live in his­tory. Designed by renowned period archi­tect J. Wil­son Gray, orig­i­nally con­structed for the trustees of the Riverdale Pres­by­ter­ian Church, this impos­ing archi­tec­tural build­ing is now retro­fit­ted, entirely within the exist­ing enve­lope, into only 32 aston­ish­ing multi-level loft res­i­dences.

Erected in 1920 as an exten­sion to the orig­i­nal 1912 Riverdale Pres­by­ter­ian Church, this loft con­ver­sion pays homage to the soar­ing height of the orig­i­nal sanc­tu­ary in all of its two storey pri­mary liv­ing spaces, fea­tur­ing large open plans, expan­sive inter­con­nected to flow with the build­ing space.

Each loft is cus­tom designed for the pur­chaser, to opti­mize the dra­matic effects of light and spa­tial vol­ume: incor­po­rates solid masonry demis­ing walls, ther­mopane win­dows, supe­rior ther­mal and acousti­cal insu­la­tion, indi­vid­ual high effi­ciency heat­ing sys­tems, all new elec­tri­cal and mechan­i­cal sys­tems, and a host of lux­ury features.

Located at 660 Pape Avenue, steps from the sub­way and the vibrant cos­mopoli­tan shops, restau­rants and cof­fee houses of the Dan­forth, close to the down­town and the cul­tural heart of the City, The Glebe offers a unique lifestyle for char­ac­ter, loca­tion, design fea­tures and value any­where in Toronto.

Mitchell & Asso­ciates is a design/build firm that has been cre­at­ing new res­i­den­tial built form in the City of Toronto for the past eigh­teen years. In 1982 they designed, devel­oped and built the first legal loft con­ver­sion in Toronto at 41 Shanly Street, pre­vi­ously the Domin­ion Felt Com­pany, and won the Ontario Renews Award in 1984 for that project for excel­lence and inno­va­tion in design.

Since then, Mitchell and Asso­ciates, through sub­sidiary project spe­cific com­pa­nies, has con­verted numer­ous fac­to­ries, churches, and insti­tu­tional build­ings into high qual­ity res­i­den­tial loft con­do­mini­ums.

The prin­ci­pal of Mitchell and Asso­ciates, Robert Mitchell, holds a Bach­e­lor of Applied Sci­ence degree in Civil Engi­neer­ing, and a Mas­ter of Sci­ence degree in Urban and Regional Plan­ning. He is a reg­is­tered mem­ber of the Asso­ci­a­tion of Pro­fes­sional Engi­neers of Ontario, and the Cana­dian Insti­tute of Plan­ners, and has over twenty years hands-on expe­ri­ence in all aspects of the retro­fitting and con­ver­sion of build­ings into lofts.
