Tannery Lofts

Anyone who becomes elated by that new car smell will feel very much at home at 736 Dundas Street East. Conversely, scents from these lofts&rsquo; days as a tannery are nowhere to be found, because the structure was never actually used to produce leather. Instead, the name given to the Tannery Lofts might simply be a ploy to evoke thoughts of Toronto&rsquo;s industrial history.The building at 736 Dundas East has, however, functioned as some sort of factory since its construction in 1913. Before being converted to <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/lofts">Toronto lofts</a> in 2007, this building was home to the Adam Beck Cigar Box Manufacturing Company. As of late, the structure has obtained its status as a heritage building, for its historical implication as well as its architectural style.As more than simply a designer of structures, Lyle once helped to advance entire cities as well. The architect and urban planner was an active constituent of the City Beautiful Movement, a late 19th century attempt to revamp the aesthetics of North American cities. Most notably for Torontonians, Lyle was the architect behind the Royal Alexandra Theatre on King Street West.Today, 45 homes known as the Tannery Lofts inhabit Lyle&rsquo;s early 20th century construction at 736 Dundas East. This intimate group of hard lofts span 7 storeys, making for a truly boutique feel. Turn of the century industrial masonry, spread with slightly curved warehouse windows, offers a character-rich backdrop for contemporary homeowners to make a life in.And while there may be no crazy maintenance fees here, the catch is a similar lack of amenities. Many resourceful urbanites can get by without common services built right in, however for others this might be a strike against the development.

<a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/regent-park">Regent Park</a> is an area at the tail end of a renaissance, meaning even more change is imminent &mdash; beyond what the neighbourhood has already witnessed in recent years. Prices are likely to remain lower here, until everyone suddenly notices how cool it has become.At the same time, businesses are already reflecting the stylish residents who have made their way over to Regent Park, and vice versa. Assisting in the neighbourhood&rsquo;s revitalization was the 2012 opening of the Daniels Spectrum community centre. Here, neighbours can gather to work, engage in programming for both youth and adults, view or exhibit art, and much more.The Regent Park Aquatic Centre is also relatively new, and equally as impressive. The indoor swimming pool is a great place to cool off in the summer months or functions as the locale for some wintertime exercise. In the spirit of active pursuits, the Citadel dance theatre is yet another community hub for taking classes and watching skillful performances.

Most of the homes at 736 Dundas East contain one bedroom, with sizes ranging from around 500 to 900 square feet. A number of the more sizable units at the Tannery Lofts span two levels.Oversized windows that once shed light on dim factory workrooms now illuminate these converted homes for modern day residents. All that natural sunlight has plenty of room to travel through the open concept living spaces, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.The homes benefit from their former industrial function in a number of ways. On average, ceiling heights lie at around 13 feet, with original wooden posts and beams for support that have been restored to their former glory. Many units enjoy original wood ceiling panels as well, for an additional sense of character.Prospective buyers can also expect to find exposed brick in each and every <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/condos-for-sale">Toronto condo for sale</a> here &mdash; and lots of it. And yet another widespread element at the Tannery Lofts is the exposed ductwork.While Lyle certainly hadn&rsquo;t planned for millennial residents who enjoy a little outdoor space included in their homes, Urbancorp was sure to do what they could to solve this conundrum. Private patios are located on the ground level, while upper storey residents inhabiting each of the four penthouses can enjoy spending time on their rooftop terraces.

Using Dundas Street East, residents can travel toward the central downtown area &mdash; by both car and public transit. Streetcars along Dundas also offer passengers connections to the subway at Dundas Station on the Yonge line.Drivers will be pleased to hear that they reside near the intersection of two major highways, even from within this urban neighbourhood. Both the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway can be reached from 736 Dundas in no time.Even cyclists can get around with ease from the Tannery Lofts. Richmond, Adelaide, Gerrard, and Shuter are all ideal bike-friendly routes that lead west toward central downtown.

Originally only home to residential buildings managed by Toronto Community Housing, there are now 18 condo buildings in Regent Park. Many consist of glass towers set atop red brick podiums, like <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/170-sumach-st-one-park-place-north-tower">One Park Place North Tower</a> and <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/55-regent-park-blvd-one-park-place-south-tower">One Park Place South Tower</a>. There are, however, Regent Park condos in low rise buildings and loft residences as well.A few notable hard lofts now occupy historical buildings: <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/19-river-st-the-vinegar-lofts">The Vinegar Lofts</a> at 19 River Street is set within a vinegar warehouse built in 1907; the <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/736-dundas-st-e-tannery-lofts">Tannery Lofts</a> at 736 Dundas East is located inside an early 20th century factory that once produced soap, and then cigar boxes; <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/426-queen-st-e-the-knitting-mill-lofts">The Knitting Mill Lofts</a> at 426 Queen East is a former fabric factory that now holds a heritage designation.Regent Park condos offer amenities in accordance with the usual building styles &mdash; hard loft conversions offers very little and, in some cases, no amenities at all. High-rises in the neighbourhood come with plenty of relaxing extras; One Park Place South Tower has amenities that can rival any building in the GTAUnlike most neighbourhoods that have clusters of condo buildings, Regent Park condos are evenly dispersed throughout the neighbourhood, and the vast majority of residents are within walking distance of local shops and businesses.

The Locals: A motley crew of income levels and countries of origin.Code of Conduct: With the redevelopment only having commenced recently, it may take time before a real sense of community takes hold.What You&rsquo;ll Find: Brand new public facilities, including an indoor swimming pool.What You Won&rsquo;t Find: A large quantity of detached and semi-detached single-family homes.The Homes: Partly community housing, and partly contemporary condos.Sealing the Deal: The chance to live in the middle of downtown Toronto.

Downtown

Regent Park is one of very few neighbourhoods which can offer great transit options regardless of preference &mdash; residents who love to get things done on foot will have an easy time accomplishing their errands here.Thanks to its central locale, residents of Regent Park have no trouble traveling throughout the city. Between the Parliament bus, streetcars along Dundas, Gerrard, and Queen, and the nearby Yonge subway line, even those without cars are well situated.Car owners who commute have easy access to two major highways: The Don Valley Parkway is just to the east of the neighbourhood for travel to the north, while the Gardiner Expressway is just a quick drive south, ideal for anyone who needs to head west of the city.

The small yet central <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown">downtown Toronto</a> neighbourhood known as Regent Park has a history of serving a singular purpose; offering government-assisted housing to low-income residents. Toronto has developed and changed over the years, however, and as of late so has the dynamics of this very neighbourhood; if you&rsquo;re currently looking for <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/regent-park/condos-for-sale">Regent Park condos for sale</a>, then this isn&rsquo;t news to you.For one, the average income level for the area has been on the rise, and as of 2006 the median income for the neighbourhood has consistently been higher than the provincial median. One thing hasn&rsquo;t changed though, and that&rsquo;s the multicultural demographic of Regent Park; immigrants new to the country came to this affordable neighbourhood back in the 1960s and 70s, and many of them have never left.Government housing initially opened in Regent Park in the late 1940s, on the land that was formerly known as <a href="https://strata.ca/toronto/downtown/cabbagetown">Cabbagetown</a>. At that point, Cabbagetown moved slightly north, and the older homes between Parliament, River, Queen, and Gerrard Streets were all demolished to make room for the new, city-run housing development.It took nearly half a century, but eventually many of these buildings fell into disrepair, forcing city officials to plan for a revitalization of the neighbourhood. The redevelopment, which began in 2005, aimed to simultaneously desegregate Regent Park from surrounding neighbourhoods.Toronto Community Housing Corp. partnered with Daniels Corp., a condo developer with experience in co-op housing, for the project that would cost over 1 billion dollars. As for the design, an architectural competition was held by then-mayor David Miller, with ArchitectsAlliance taking home the gold.Previously dedicated to public housing, the redevelopment of the Regent Park neighbourhood has not only attracted more commercial businesses to the area, but it has also resulted in the creation of a number of public recreation facilities. Locals now have access to the community arts hub known as Daniels Spectrum, where arts-oriented non-profit organizations &mdash; including Artscape &mdash; have set up shop.The Regent Park Aquatic Centre even embraces the multicultural nature of the neighbourhood: during designated hours the pool is partitioned by a screen so that Muslim women can swim separately from men. While new amenities are certainly exciting, certain long standing traditions have persisted in Regent Park; during the annual Taste of Regent Park, community members cook up a pay-what-you-can meal, and locals gather to enjoy the live entertainment.
