Forest Hill Lofts - 1001 Roselawn Avenue
For many years Murray Goldman, the Principal of The Goldman Group, had admired the stately building located at 1001 Roselawn Avenue, as would anyone who had an appreciation for classic loft architecture. The graceful structure was built in 1932 and was the Canadian headquarters of Coats & Paton, a textile firm famous for its Beehive brand thread - in fact, a bumble bee remains carved in stone at the main entrance of Forest Hill Lofts.
Forest Hill Lofts is a magnificent four-storey, L-shaped edifice that once was surrounded by a group of smaller buildings, including a massive boiler house and towering smokestack. The disused buildings have now been removed and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The exterior walls were refaced with stucco and exterior columns feature colourful tiles in keeping with the original art deco design.
Until the construction began, the building was a favourite with movie directors and was used as a set for several movies. The appeal is obvious - Forest Hill Lofts boasts soaring 13-1/2 foot ceilings, large columns and 24-by 10-foot window spans.
All service systems - including plumbing and electrical wiring, as well as heating and ventilation - are completely new and feature exposed ductwork in classic loft style. Even the floors are new concrete, poured and polished. In lofts that have two levels, metal staircases are standard.
Suites at Forest Hill Lots range in size up to 1,108 square feet and include one-, two-, and two-bedroom-plus-den layouts. Some suites offer Juliet balconies, ground-floor exclusive-use patio terraces, or balconies with walkout from living room and master bedroom - as well, private rooftop terraces offer magnificent city views. The views are unobstructed in all directions, with spectacular sightlines of the CN Tower and the downtown skyline.
