This loft is located steps from all your lifestyle needs. Beside Regent Park, currently undergoing a massive revitalization into mixed community and market housing, this loft conversion will soon have more amenities than ever. In the interim, to the immediate northwest is Cabbagetown with its endearing Riverdale Farm and Parliament Street with its grocers, cafes- and a liquor store.

Located in the Tannery Lofts, this boutique 36 unit loft conversion was registered as a condominium in early 2008. Designed by Gabriel Bodor Architects and completed by UrbanCorp Developments, this Century old building with a long industrial history dates from 1905. First a soap factory, then known as the Adam Beck Cigar Manufacturing Company, and finally, a Tannery, this eye-catching building has a colourful manufacturing history. Since it was acquired for conversion, the original four storey structure became the foundation for a further three storeys which replicated the exterior features and style of its original architectural heritage. The end result is a spectacular boutique loft condominium.
