Printers Row was completed by renowned loft conversion developer Bob Mitchell in 2001. Designed by architect W. F. Carmichael in 1911, what was originally the Bell Telephone Company’s world headquarters eventually spent a portion of its life as the ABSO Blueprint Factory until its more recent conversion into loft residences. Comprising of twelve two and three storey lofts with secure parking on the lowest level, this discreet intimate walk-up offers stylish low-maintenance living.
