Condominiums/Condos - Toronto, Downtown Toronto

BUILDING LOCATION AND FEATURES

In the early part of this century, the well-known Chicago architect - Max Dunning - teamed up with the Toronto firm of Burke, Horwood and White, to create some of the most important industrial buildings in the City of Toronto. Many of these have become icons - the CityTV building at Queen and John and the Tip Top Tailor building on the Lakeshore, for example. Now the largest of these jewels - the Robert Simpson Mail Order Catalogue Building at Church and Dundas - is being transformed into The Merchandise Building Original Lofts. In this landmark historical building you'll discover a range of loft styles, created by three teams of internationally known interior designers, with enough diversity to suit any urban lifestyle. You'll also discover the sense of space that 12 ft. ceilings bring, and some of the best views of the City.

The lofts feature customer designed kitchens, polished concrete floors, solid maple barn doors and dramatic fluted columns. The Merchandise Building community will include a spectacular urban roof garden with lap pool and barbecue terrace; recreation and relaxation facilities including a half-basketball court and a contemplative garden/sitting area; and all round retail facilities including a full-line Dominion store and the hottest new bar in town - KUBO. And to round out your high-tech urban lifestyle, the building will be wired with Rogers Wave.
