1400 BLOOR ST WEST CONDOS

In 2003, Garden Park Homes developed 1386-1400 Bloor Street West and 15-43 Dekoven Mews along Symington Avenue into an attractive collection of New York-style lofts and townhomes. The resulting Bloor West Lofts are located in a subsection of the Dovercourt & Wallace Emerson-Junction neighborhood known as Bloordale Village, an urban area with a friendly, small-town feel on Toronto’s western edge. The building fits seamlessly into this proud neighborhood, which also boasts a diverse community. West Lofts’ two 3-story brick buildings look posh beyond their age, their architecture has the grandeur of a historic industrial building. As you approach the Bloor West building, the buildings reveal a long row of huge window panes framed by an impressive false colonnade adorned with purposeful stone accents. However, unlike industrial buildings that have been converted into modern suites, this is a loft-style building that was built from the ground up as a residence. And underneath, Garden Park Homes’ network of architects took advantage of the site’s flexibility, allowing them to create a massive underground parking spaces for residents and their visitors. After all, each resident enjoys direct access to each of their suites. Many of the suites even open directly onto Bloor Street, instantly connecting residents to all the amenities the neighborhood has to offer.​​​​​​​ This design has the added benefit of avoiding the maintenance costs of an expensive lobby or expensive and unused utility area. Although there is no gym, all residents have access to a shared balcony.
