Brock Lofts - 27-31 Brock Street
Located at 27-31 Brock Street, just north of Queen Street West and west of Dufferin Street, the Brock Lofts have a rustic urban appeal. Containing only 23 hard lofts, the lofts range from around 350 square feet to 1,600 square feet. The area showcases a wide array of restaurants, bars and galleries including the Gladstone Hotel and the Drake Hotel.
These authentic loft conversions feature all the loft goodies, including exposed brick, hardwood floors, soaring 12’-18’ ceilings and some of the original wood columns and beams. There are no facilities and condo fees are a bit high, though all inclusive. The Brock Lofts is a wonderful little warehouse conversion that surprises many when they first walk in.
Just off Queen West in a Parkdale neighbourhood that walks the line between gritty-dirty and gritty-sexy, you'll find a loft conversion that does the same. This 2-storey warehouse conversion, with exposed painted brick, hardwood floors, 12-18 foot ceilings, wood columns and wood beams, has all the trappings of a sleek reno-property, but still maintains that rough unfinished feel.
These hard lofts come in a variety of sizes and the building is elevator-free. Purchasing here is like moving up in the real estate world but still holding on to some of your street cred.
The Brock Lofts are a more recent authentic loft conversion, and thus has newer mechanicals throughout the building. There is an small communal rooftop terrace with barbeque, so you can enjoy a cottage feel in the city. The view extends over the single-family house rooftops, making the building seem particularly integrated into the neighbourhood. Ceiling heights range up around 18 feet, which is an astonishing height. The highest ceilings are wood with exposed ductwork. Walls are exposed brick.
The sensation inside the units is that of an artist's studio or art gallery. Skylights bring light into the second floor units especially brightly, providing ample illumination. A few ground floor units have direct access to the street, making them particularly suitable for a live/work environment.
Located just around the corner from the Noble Court Lofts, this is a hotbed of creativity and loft conversions.
