Over the last couple weeks the lower floors have been starting the final inspections, allowing the owners a chance to see the units. Below are some photos (sorry about the quality), that the owners have taken. I continue to be impressed with the building.

Rental prices are beginning to pop up, anywhere from $1,450 per month for a one bedroom and the prices go up from there (Parking of course is extra!).

What is a loft?

I like to define a loft as a “unit” that is a large open living space. It has character and is often going to be space that has not been separated into rooms and feature high ceilings and big windows.

There are three main types of lofts!

Hard lofts are building conversions. The developer has taken an existing building, such as a school, church, warehouse, or industrial building, and converted that space into individual living areas. They generally have large amounts of character and are often one off units that are unique with features such as exposed aged brick, steel duct work, concrete pilliars/floors, wood posts and/or beams.

Soft lofts are newer buildings built with the purpose of residential living and often feature less character and more “condo” like. They will still feature high ceilings and large open spaces and windows, but not as many one-off features.

The third type of loft is Work/Live loft. These types are not very common because they often feature less finishes and are sometimes only available to those who are active artists.

Still not too sure what the difference is between a loft and a condo??

New Home Warranty - In hard loft buildings that have been conversion there is (usually) no Tarion New Home Warranty included in the sale. Because it is a “renovation” and the original foundation has not been modified it is not eligible for the warranty. This means that there isnt the same type of protection if you ever needed to dispute the developer.
