Toronto Soft Loft Buildings
Lofts in Toronto

Worklofts - Carlaw Avenue

Toronto’s Film District is set to host a new development called Worklofts, which will introduce a different way of life that combines the personal and the professional in a unique blend of commercial and residential spaces wrapped up in a stunning package.

Worklofts will have commercial studios on the first and second floor, and then the third floor to ninth floors will be live/work lofts. The Worklofts project is the collaboration between two condo corporations that allows purchasers to conveniently live, work, or both.

The draw to Worklofts is threefold – the live/work concept, the location, and the building itself. Queen Street East is probably the most exciting commercial and residential strip in the city, with numerous loft projects including the Garment Factory and the Printing Factory.

Bordered by historic Leslieville to the east, Riverside to the west, Riverdale to the north and the shores of Lake Ontario to the south, the Film District boasts all the amenities you want and need just a short walk from home. Whether you’re running errands during the day, or looking for entertainment in the evening, Queen Street East is a hotbed of activity.

Probably most important draw to Worklofts is the building itself. In keeping with the area’s historic feel, Core Architects designed the structure to combine the old and the new. Although constructed of all new materials, the base of the building has the look of an existing, historic brick warehouse. Sitting atop this brick base is the light, modern, industrial glass-and-aluminum residential structure.

As not just the architects of the project but also the interior designers, Core Architects maintained the integrity of this historic area in the project’s interiors. The building’s interior features large, open-concept living and dining spaces, with exposed concrete walls, concrete ceilings and warehouse-style columns.

The finishes are extremely high-end for the market place. The GE stainless steel appliances and gas stoves, double Caesar Stone counters, Scavolini high-gloss kitchens - all the finishes here are better than anyone else is doing on this level of building

Lofts range from one-bedroom units at 500 square feet up to the spectacular three-bedroom rooftop penthouse offering 2,283 square feet of interior living space with a spectacular 4,200-square-foot. terrace.
