Authentic Toronto Hard Loft Conversions
Dominion Felt Works - 41 Shanly Street
Originally constructed as the Dominion Felt Works, this ugly industrial building was transformed in 1981 into 10 two and three storey condominium loft units. In the old pictures of the former factory, what appear to be snowflakes flying are actually particulate pollution form the felt manufacturing process. The neighbors were pleased with the conversion, as they had been complaining to their alderman for years about the building.
Mitchell and Associates won the Ontario Renews Award in 1984 for this innovative conversion of a non-residential to a residential building, the first legal residential loft project in the City of Toronto.
Located in the west end of Toronto, 41 Shanly Street was an existing felt manufacturing industrial building, embedded in a single family residential neighbourhood. Around 1983 it was converted and extended into 10 multi-level loft condominium residences, with indoor parking and features such as private roof terraces and fireplaces included as a standard.
Toronto's original loft conversion, 41 Shanly offers suits ranging in size from 800 to 1,800 square feet, and is located just north of Bloor and Dovercourt. Each suite features a fireplace and private roof top terrace. Other features include: exposed brick, 12'-30' ceilings, atrium windows and skylights, private garage, and low maintenance fees.
