The Merchandise Lofts (155 Dalhousie Street) is dripping with the history of the Church Street Corridor! Back in 1910 when this building was originally constructed, the Chicago School architectural style was chosen and it ‘stuck’ for many years with assorted owners who used it mainly as a warehouse building. By the mid 1990s, Crestford Developments purchased the building with the intention of converting it to loft-style condos with a dimensionally generous amenities space (this was one of the earliest and largest warehouse-to-loft conversions within the city of Toronto!). Upon the completion of The Merchandise Lofts building in 2000, Heritage Toronto gave the Crestford developer a commendation, and awards were received from the Greater Toronto Builders Association (Christopher Hume gave this project an ‘A’!). The lofts are edgy and lean on industrial style…high ceilings, mushroom columns, exposed duct work, polished concrete floors, expansive windows and wide-open feeling rooms. The layouts and price points are highly attractive to homebuyers and realty investors...square footage starts at 487 and scales up to 2,618 square feet. The Merchandise Lofts (155 Dalhousie Street) offer some of the most unique loft layouts in all of Toronto! At the onset of ‘eco-friendly’ building initiatives during the early 2000s, the developer implemented a green roof with a garden and a Tri-Sorter recycling chute. The in-building amenities includes plentiful parking, indoor basketball court, a full gym, sauna, games room, rooftop pool & party room. This loft building feels far more like a community, thanks to Brookfield Condominium Services who sees to the daily operations of the building and the personal needs of each resident. The historical average PSF for The Merchandise Lofts has shown a consistent positive return on investment, and it is no wonder why, as its prime location adds even more value to this already impressive loft-lovers’ haven!A ‘good vibe’ is felt by residents of The Merchandise Lofts and the same can be said for its surrounding environment. The walk score peaks at 98 for this vibrant area on and around Dalhousie Street, but buyers do not have to any further than the ground floor of their building to pick up groceries (Metro 24-hours) or sip on a cuppa at Page One Café & Bar. At the corner of Dalhousie & Dundas, there is Dundas Market and a handful of restaurants, hair salon, gas station & coffee shop. Cyclists have a Bike Share Toronto station right on Gould Street between Dalhousie & Mutual Street. A short walk away is TTC Dundas subway station (Yonge & Dundas), Ryerson University, Ryerson Community Park and the mecca of shopping, dining, nibbling and entertainment options at the Toronto Eaton Centre (Yonge & Dundas). There are TTC buses and streetcars that run along all main streets and connect to other buses, subways and GO Transit services. Motorists can use Bloor Street east to pick up Bayview Avenue, which links directly to the Don Valley Pkwy via an on-ramp. Being situated within the Garden District, buyers can enjoy the Allan Gardens, which is an indoor botanical garden.
