Toronto Loft Conversions & Soft Loft Buildings

If any of these lofts interest you, please call Laurin at 416-388-1960

Please be aware that lofts command a premium in Toronto. Generally, they start over $300,000 and anything that isn't small is going to be closer to $400,000. If you are looking for over 1,000 square feet or two bedrooms, expect to pay over $400,000, maybe $450,000 or more. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing for $200,000 and very very little, if anything, for $250,000. There is also no such thing as a "raw space". Developers do not leave spaces empty, to sell cheap and allow buyers to finish. Maybe 10-20 years ago, but there is nothing at all like that today. We just want people to be realistic.

There are 179 Toronto lofts listed below (as of August 2008), the most extensive list of any real estate site in Toronto. We have spent a couple of years compiling this list and believe it contains every single building converted to lofts in Toronto.

By no means are there available listings in all of these buildings, in fact most of them are not currently for sale. This loft list is meant to inform and illustrate only, to show the wide variety of loft buildings in Toronto. If you know of any that are not listed here, please email us and we would be more than happy to add your contribution.

A true loft, or hard loft, which to many is the only kind of loft, is usually a conversion of an older factory or warehouse. The term "hard" comes from having a harder edge of either concrete construction, or exposed brick and original wood posts, beams and floors. Here, authentic details and atmosphere is everything.

Ceilings should be at least ten feet high - but high ceilings does not a loft make. This is increasingly very important for loft purchasers, as developers are now building condos with slightly higher ceilings than in the past. It is this height that helps give a hard loft the feeling of air and space. Larger windows and open concept layouts also help. Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts are exposed.

You can't expect to find hard lofts to be divided up into two bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen and a bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room, which you can work with and use according to your own functions and needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of loft.

The other great thing about lofts is that most of them are zoned live/work, which makes it easier to operate a business out of your home. As a tax write off, it will be much more straight forward for your accountant and for Revenue Canada.

Newly constructed lofts, or soft lofts (otherwise known as condos with high ceilings), are examples of condo developers trying to cash in on the popularity of lofts. Most soft lofts have very little character and, in most cases, the ceilings aren't even all that high. The quality of construction can be disappointing and quite often the location is really the only selling point, since vintage lofts are usually a little off the beaten track, not in the best neighbourhoods.

However, there are a few outstanding newer buildings in Toronto, with some loft-style features. To find out more, look at the list of lofts below.

The Mansions at Jarvis 539 Jarvis Street At a time when city dwellers treasure unique living spaces more than ever before, the conversion of one of Jarvis Street's original mansions is truly significant. In terms of history, architectural merit and its central downtown location, the Mansions at Jarvis is one of the most exciting projects the city has to offer. The mansion was originally built in the late 19th century, in the heart of the Jarvis Mansion District. On this street, wealthy landowners built their dream homes, and today's residents are painstakingly restoring these homes to their former glory. Prior to the conversion, Mansions at Jarvis was known as the popular dining spot, Julie's Mansion. Just next door is where Canada's once-Governor General Vincent Massey and his brother, actor Raymond Massey, were raised. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you.

Elements of the Edwardian Classicism from the Lake Simcoe building will be integrated into the loft designs by rebuilding the original façade into a grand archway which will serve as the entrance to the community, preserving the unique characteristics that make this project one of a kind.

For many Canadians, moving to an urban apartment is about tapping into the excitement and cultural opportunities of the big city and can also mean a shorter commute to work. But finding a place in the city can mean sacrificing the larger living spaces found in the suburbs or country. Increasingly, urban dwellers are finding that loft apartments offer the location and opportunities of city life with far more space than average condos or apartment homes. What's the idea behind lofts, and why are they so popular?

Lofts have a certain allure. With high ceilings, open floor plans, rough-hewn floors, and brick walls, they are a hip housing alternative for many urban professionals. Today's loft dwellers embrace new-age metropolitan living in all its glory. Those who buy these unique dwellings have shaken off long daily commutes, granting them more personal time, more cultural and entertainment possibilities and an active, city lifestyle. If you crave something eclectic, out of the ordinary and convenient to all the city has to offer, a loft may be for you! Select from newly constructed (soft) lofts, or restored historical building loft conversions (hard lofts).

One definition for a loft found on the Web is -- An appeal against convention- convention in thinking, convention in building and convention in living. They are a celebration of open concept living and unconventional spaces brought about by the considered application of imagination and a rejection of mass-market housing.

The origin of the word Loft comes from the Old Norse lopt which means-- upper room or air. In 19th Century English usage the word came to mean-- the upper stories of a warehouse or factory. The modern boom in the conversion of such spaces into living areas came in the 1940s in the SoHo District of New York City. By the 1970s so many of these conversions had been done that the city was forced to re-zone the area to make such conversions legal.

By the 1980s the concept was spreading first across the United States and then to Europe and Asia. As the trend grew it caught the attention of developers identifying a new market. Developers being developers did not let a lack of owning an existing warehouse or factory building to convert stop them from moving into the new market. Thus the new word Loft began to be applied to units in ground up new construction. Needless to say the term grew fuzzy.

By 2005 the term loft has matured. Lofts created from spaces in existing buildings are called -- hard lofts or true lofts. Lofts built new from the ground up are typically referred to as soft lofts or new lofts or loft-inspired or mezzanine suites. Whether created out of an existing building or built ground up new, all lofts have certain common elements or they are not lofts.

Lofts are part of the Postmodernism movement in architecture. Postmodernism is a counter- reaction to the strict and almost universal modernism of the mid-20th Century. It embraces elements from historical building styles incorporating them without a rigid adherence to one style. It also does not as policy try to hide the structural or mechanical elements of a building but often uses these in the design.

What is a "hard" loft?

A true loft is a conversion of a vintage factory or warehouse. They have a harder edge as they are usually constructed of concrete or "mill" construction of exposed brick, original wood posts, beams and floors. Typically, these lofts have an open floorplan and unfinished ceilings that are at least 10' high with exposed ducts, plumbing and electrical. Examples include the Merchandise Building, Liberty Lofts and the Toy Factory Lofts.

What is a "soft" loft?

In recent years developers have built new buildings with some of the characteristics of a hard loft such as high ceilings, big windows and open floorplans. These lofts typically have a softer edge... no exposed ducts and plumbing, carpet in some areas and upscale kitchens and baths. Soft lofts have more in common with traditional condominiums than a true hard loft.

What is an "artist live/work" loft?

Toronto bylaws allow for the development of buildings with "artist live/work" zoning. The first of these developments appeared on Shanly Avenue (near Queen and Gladstone) and most featured minimal finishing, 16' ceilings and steel frame construction. The City's zoning restricted their use to people who were engaged in a precisely defined list of artistic activities. Over time these buildings have come to be occupied by people who simply enjoy the loft life.

Here are some of the unique joys of the loft life:

* Industrial buildings - The term loft began in New York and Chicago when renters and owners began turning old industrial buildings into living spaces. The original tenants were artists who craved the high ceilings, large windows and open floor plans typical of converted warehouses and factories.

* Open spaces - The primary benefit of loft living is the large open spaces that allow you to live and move how you want, rather than having your movement defined by a permanent floor plan of walls, doorways and rooms.

* Define your areas - In a loft, the floor plan can be fluid and ever changing. You can set up a sleeping area in one part of the space, then move it somewhere else if you have guests or if you just need the area for another use. Kitchens and bathrooms are more permanent, of course, but temporary partitions, hanging curtains, or even changes in floor covering can define other spaces.

* Eclectic style - Another nice aspect of many lofts is the opportunity for eclectic design and decorating. For example, a loft might feature soft, delicate window treatments on reinforced factory windows, or a modern couch sitting on a hundred-year-old hardwood floor. This mixture of old with new and practicality with comfort can form a wonderful esthetic that makes the most of a loft's mixed-use nature.

Regardless of the type of loft, all lofts should have certain basic common elements:

* Open, flowing floor plans
* Minimal uses of interior walls to define space and doors to close off areas
* High ceilings - some definitions set minimum ceiling heights at twelve feet or it is not a loft just a condo with high ceilings
* Exposed piping, ductwork, structural elements
* Large windows
* Access to the sky often with roof top gardens or decks
* Easily merges living and work space, blurring the lines between workplace and residence
* Mixes traditional mediums with modern finishes- concrete, metal, stone, brick, wood used freely alongside of drywall, ceramic tile and vinyl

How to invest in a deal to get home loans or buy a home is very important. Market offers several opportunities but one needs to keep a close eye on his debt management plan. There are many mortgage lenders that help in getting better mortgage deals through re mortgages. In real estate business, government has several regulations imposed on investors. They need to calculate income properly and use proper tax accounting software to comply with those standards.
