Steam Plant Lofts at 10 Wellesley Place houses 29 extraordinarily unique suites in a true Toronto lofts conversion by Aykler. Built in 1953, this structure was originally the Wellesley Hospital, featuring an iconic 61 meter high smokestack. Today, this smokestack has been cleaned out and its space utilized; three of the building’s lofts feature one-of-a-kind round bedrooms or dens in the smokestack, complete with original exposed brick. Units range from 455 square feet to 1092 square feet, complete with roof top terraces, and the building features a party room for all your entertaining needs.
Located in historic Cabbagetown, your neighbourhood boasts beautifully restored Victorian homes and a community-feel that extends to the welcoming pubs and cozy cafes that line the streets of this lovely area. Once one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Toronto, Cabbagetown is now a popular and celebrated destination; each year the Cabbagetown Festival highlights this community’s historic roots, the multicultural nature of present-day Cabbagetown, and the active arts community. Nearby Riverdale Farm is a truly unique feature of Cabbagetown, providing a step back in time to a fully-operational farm in the heart of Canada’s largest city! Where else in Toronto can you strike up a conversation with a farmer while he feeds the pigs, breathe in the scent of bread freshly baked in a wood-fired brick oven and learn the art of sheep-shearing, all in the same day? If the country-life is not for you, however, you will be pleased to know that the local gourmet shops, upscale boutiques, various arts festivals and vintage clothing stores are begging for a good browsing. Looking for a unique loft conversion in a neighbourhood you will love to call “home?” Steam Plant Lofts is the answer to your loft-seeking prayers!
