Designed by Norma King, Cecconi Simone and Brian Gluckstein, the Merchandise Lofts at 155 & 135 Dalhousie St. is the largest loft conversion in Toronto. Once the Sears Catalogue warehouse, this massive building houses about 500 units and its very own supermarket. A leader in sheer size, this structure was also the first to use all concrete construction with mushroom columns and ceilings that reach heights of 12 feet. These innovations are not surprising given the original architectural team responsible for the Sears Catalogue building; these architects are also responsible for the building used for CityTV, as well as the Tip Top Tailor building which has also been converted into lofts. Today, units in the Merchandise Lofts range from 450 square feet to over 2,500 square feet and showcase glass partitioned bathrooms, elegantly elevated bedrooms and classic solid maple sliding doors. Spectacular amenities in this Toronto lofts building include a 24 hour concierge, an outdoor pool, a lap pool, a basketball court, a climbing wall and exercise rooms, leaving no excuse for inactivity! Indeed, with its central location in the downtown core of Toronto, this building puts you in the very heart of activity.
