A commuter’s dream, at Tannery Lofts at 763 Dundas St E, the buzz word is “accessibility.” As the name suggests, this building was once a tannery, built in 1905. Since that time, Urbancorp successfully completed the structure’s conversion to 36 Toronto lofts, creating a three storey addition that blends into the original structure while honouring the history of the building by featuring the space’s 13-foot wood ceilings, brick walls and exposed posts and beams. Most of the units are single bedroom arrangements, though studios and two-bedroom penthouse suites boasting wraparound terraces are available to a fortunate few. All tenants in this building will count themselves fortunate, however, as Tannery Lofts is the perfect location for those intent on exploring their city, or for those interested in a speedy commute. Not only are exits to and from the Don Valley Parkway practically on your doorstep, cutting down your commute time, the Dundas streetcar runs right past your front door, quickly transporting you downtown and to the west end of the city, or further east where you can easily make a connection to Toronto’s subway system.
Located just north of your home you will find Cabbagetown, a neighbourhood that will charm you with its Victorian houses and its grand park, Riverdale, complete with fully-operational farm. King East is located just south of the Tannery Lofts, spoiling you with restaurant choices and providing you with the perfect place to live out your designer dreams by browsing through the many high-end furniture stores featured in this popular district. You will find East Chinatown just northeast of you, a neighbourhood in which you will undoubtedly become a fixture as you discover the fantastic produce markets, the availability of seafood, and the excellent restaurants right at your fingertips. Riverside is located just to the southeast, a community bustling with artistic endeavors, cafes with cult-like followings, and a live music venue that was once a Vaudeville theatre. With four distinct neighbourhoods at your fingertips, the DVP seconds away, and the TTC right at your door, the Tannery Lofts as the “it” place those who want to be everywhere at once!
