The details
Expect the Unexpected
Tucked away on a quiet backstreet sits a rare breed; a sun-filled two-storey loft only steps away from Toronto’s Bloor Street buzz replete with amenities, restaurants and transit in every direction. A small wedge of Toronto’s 1950’s roots safeguarded from the glass, the concrete and the mundane. Instead, uncover a dream apartment on the penthouse floor of downtown’s historical steam-fired power plant. Re-purposed by Aykler Developments in 2008, this 3-Storey industrial building preserved the original 200-foot landmark smoke stack and added three floors to the 31 suite locale. Here? Expect the unexpected. This inspired space will capture your attention and, quite frankly…never let you go! Highlights include north and south exposures, raw & sweeping ceilings, an oversized skylight directing natural light through the centre staircase, revealed duct work, artful rooms, a generous kitchen and one must-have 300 square foot terrace equipped with a gas bbq hook-up and limitless south facing views! The possibility is everywhere…for our romantics, doers and thinkers alike!
May your walls know joy; may each room hold laughter; and may every window open to great possibility.

The Neighbourhood

Welcome To
Sherbourne St & King St E
Located on the east end of downtown Toronto, St. James Town is dubbed one of the city’s most rapidly gentrifying neighbourhoods. Stroll down its side streets and you’ll stumble upon lovingly restored homes framed by towering trees, greenery and new condominium developments. The residential pockets are also brimming with an array of casual restaurants and cafes. Urbanites aren’t held back from making their favourite haunts known either (Dova, F’Amelia, The House on Parliament belong on your list of must-visit spots). Think of Bloor Street East as a dynamic residential thoroughfare with two distinctly different personalities. First, there’s Yorkville, an ultra-affluent neighbourhood peppered with luxury retail boutiques, hotels and restaurants that are just as coveted as the surrounding streetscapes. Stroll further East and you’ll end up in a unique pocket only with a more creative, laid-back vibe including Rosedale Ravine, Riverdale Farm & the best independent coffee shops in the city!
