The place

A bright, two-storey loft, with polished concrete floors, exposed ductwork and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The history

The unit is part of the Robert Watson Lofts, a 1903 confectionery factory that was converted into condos in 2007. This condo isn’t in the converted part of the development, though. It’s an all-new unit that was designed in the style of a factory loft. The seller bought it during pre-construction.

Possible deal breaker
