200 ANNETTE ST CONDOS

If you’ve always felt that your home is a sacred place, Park Lofts at 200 Annette Street will only reinforce that theory further. Though the residents of Park Lofts may be of all faiths or no faith at all, there is no doubt an almighty developer behind this difficult loft conversion. Originally a Baptist church, the Toronto lofts at 200 Annette Street are now something of a hybrid church, townhouse, and loft. In addition, the structure is also a heritage site recognized by the City of Toronto. The church was originally built in 1888, although minor modifications were made in 1906 and 1920, well before it was designated a heritage site in 2010.​​​​​​​ During the 2011 refurbishment of the building, overseen by Bloor West’s Terra Firma Homes, preserving the original qualities was imperative. From the street, pedestrians will still notice the detailed crimson brickwork, arched windows, and certain 19th-century artworks. and handcrafted elements of this Victorian Gothic construction. Even the eaves are exaggeratedly curved, giving these harsh lofts a rather stately tone.
