Toronto Loft Conversions
Scarboro Beach Lofts – Scarboro Beach Boulevard, Wineva Avenue & Glen Manor Road![]() These 4 restored homes in The Beaches are each split into four lofts, with each resident owning a quarter of the title to the entire property. Approval from other owners is required, as in a co-operative arrangement. As far as I know, these are some of the only co-ownership lofts in Toronto. Units range up to 1,837 square feet and are only about 100 feet from the boardwalk along the lake. These lofts are either a single level on the ground floor or multi-level on the top two floors. The upper units have up to eight skylights in a cathedral ceiling that runs the length of the main living space, which includes the kitchen, and the living and dining areas.

![]() The Schoolhouse Lofts is an intimate, boutique-style loft residence in a sought-after location within an established residential community surrounded by mature trees. The property, which was vacant for years, was built in the early 1950s and now houses only 19 exclusive lofts. Converted from a Catholic schoolhouse, this art deco inspired loft building is one of the hottest properties in the coveted Annex neighbourhood. The lofts range in size from 1,032 to 2,092 square feet – all with spacious terraces or balconies overlooking the quiet residential street on which it is located, The Schoolhouse Lofts are close to everything that makes the Annex hip.

![]() Originally built as the Ayre Hotel in 1887, it changed into the Hotel Simcoe, before evolving into the Simcoe House. Run by Al Waxman’s family for almost 40 years, its final incarnation as the gay leather bar called The Toolbox is what it was most (in)famously known for. But in 2004-2005 Manorbrook Homes took what was then a derelict heritage building and revived into the 8 townhouses of Simcoe House we see today. Conversion and conservation at its finest.

![]() The building at 250 & 300 Manitoba Street is the result of the conversion of the McGuiness Distillery Plant with two separate entrances. This 8-storey building has a variety of two-storey lofts ranging from 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom plus den boasting impressively high 17′ ceilings. Most of the lofts include jacuzzi tubs, gas fireplaces, breakfast bars, herringbone hardwood floors on the main floor with carpet on the second floor. Some lucky suites have a terrace overlooking the building’s impressive roof top garden. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you. ———- |
![]() 217 St. George Street and the three historic houses across the street typify the single family houses that once lined the grand streets of the Annex. The Annex, known as one of the City’s first “suburban” neighbourhoods, retains many of its historic houses, typically now home to professors, writers, and university students. Around 1996, the historic house at 217 St. George has gone through a conversion to lofts by Urban Corp. Many units are on 2 levels, though some are single. Unfortunately, there are very few units in the original home, most are in the new part. The lofts range from around 500 square feet to over 1,500 square feet. Some have balconies, some have terraces and most have parking. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you. ———- |
![]() The third of the trio of Soho Lofts in Toronto. Just east of the its sister building at 188 Eglinton East, this is another converted office building. More of a low-rise, with only four floors and 40 units, these lofts are a little more exclusive. Most people don’t even know it exists, never mind the fact that it is one of only a few loft conversions in the Yonge and Eglinton area.

![]() A office loft conversion located just east of Yonge Street on Eglinton. The lofts are very bright with massive multi-paned windows, 11-foot ceiling heights and very sleek and modern finishes. The Soho Lofts has a complete fitness centre with professional trainers and a rooftop patio. Parking is available underground for a monthly fee. This is a young and professional area with many great restaurants and shops. One of the only loft conversions in the area, the prices are reasonable but the fees are high.

![]() Initially a ball bearing factory, 347 Sorauren is actually a composite of the initial mill style warehouse with two new additions, featuring a combination of interesting industrial finishes. Features include 15 foot ceilings with massive timber columns and beams. Vintage meets contemporary at the 48-unit Sorauren Lofts building, one of the few true loft conversions. Dramatically high metal ceilings with open web steel joists and 6′ windows are among the loft’s unique characteristics. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you. ———- |
![]() The St. Clarens Lofts are the kind of loft most people only dream about. Only 10 units in this hidden loft conversion in Dufferin Grove. Some of the big ones range up to approximately 2,000 square feet, with tons of light-filled space, soaring ceilings and dramatic sight lines. Rarely does a unit become available in this unique & eclectic live/work loft conversion. Converted from an old factory in 1990, there is not a lot of information available on these hard lofts. They are all multi-level lofts, with two or three bedrooms. Each loft provides for a unique living and working space set in the diverse neighbourhood of Lansdowne and Dupont.

![]() From 2001 to 2003, the church sanctuary at 65 Sheldrake Boulevard (which had been vacant at the time) was converted into lofts for residential use by Rosecorp. The old Eglinton United Church on Sheldrake Boulevard, in north Toronto, is one of the most exclusive authentic loft conversions in Toronto. Now know as St. George on Sheldrake, the massive edifice found new life when it was converted into some of the most exclusive lofts in Toronto. Most of the lofts at St. George on Sheldrake are well over 1,000 square feet, with some larger than many homes at over 4,000 square feet. Since only 34 lofts were created in the church’s large space, the developer managed to make every loft a large alternative to a house.

![]() Spectacular open concept units make the One St. Johns Place Lofts feel like a house, with all the conveniences of loft living! Conveniently located in a quiet & intimate 15-unit building converted from an office, set among residential homes in the trendy Junction neighbourhood. Converted in 1998-1999 from a mid-1970s office building owned by the Better Business Bureau Of Metropolitan Toronto. A boutique building with only 15 units, the lofts are all one or two bedroom, with 10-foot ceilings and lots of windows. Extra-thick concrete walls separate each unit, which is nice for soundproofing. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you. ———- |
