![]() Tribeca Lofts is a converted office building at 797 Don Mills Road on the corner of Eglinton Avenue – across from the Ontario Science Centre. In a former life, it was the MONY Life Insurance Company office building. The 17-storey MONY office building became vacant in the early 1990s and was purchased by a developer for conversion into 180 residential condominium loft units. T.W.S. Developments Inc. marketed the project as Tribeca Lofts on the Upper East Side. The high ceilings are left over from the previous use, but 10-feet makes the lofts seem big and airy. Large lofts for low prices is the norm here, one of the best loft conversion deals in Toronto. Email or phone 416-388-1960 today if this building interests you. ———- |
