Ideal Lofts
301 Markham St, Toronto
Overview
Located at the corner of Markham and College Street, Ideal Lofts may really be ‘ideal’ for anyone seeking beautiful soft-lofts in an excellent urban neighbourhood known as Little Italy.
Actually named for the Ideal Restaurant Supply store that once occupied the address, the new development stands at eight-storeys of red brick and panelled glass that harkens back to the original industrial buildings of College Street. On the inside, the property offers 68 Toronto lofts with a mix of both two-storey and one-storey soft-lofts that range in size from one-bedroom apartments to larger three-bedroom penthouses. Interior designs feature exposed concrete ceilings, engineered hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, nook kitchens with lots of counter space, and a mix of terraces and Juliette balconies. The building amenities are designed for the social side of life with a lot of great ways to relax after a busy work week.
In a neighbourhood with a lot of character, these West End condos have an endless line-up of restaurants, cafes, and bars surrounding them, plus interesting entertainment venues and great outdoor green spaces.

About 301 Markham St, Toronto
With a beautiful loft at 301 Markham Street, you’ll live at the entrance to a unique and dynamic neighbourhood known as Little Italy. Arrayed along College Street from Bathurst to Dovercourt Road, it's a nest of culture and history and home to a vibrant fine dining and lively nightlife scene. Humming with activity on weekends, especially in the summer, the sidewalks of Little Italy are bustling with people sipping espresso, watching soccer, and shopping at the many independent markets. In the evenings you will see crowds waiting outside the Mod Club Theatre for musical concerts, lined up to see a film at The Royal, and bouncing from bar to bar. A few popular destinations include Aunties & Uncles for huge plates of American style breakfasts, No One Writes to the Colonel for a swanky lounge and private event space, and La Forchetta Ristorante for a romantic Italian dining experience.
All along college you can find many independent fruit and vegetable markets as well as convenience stores, plus there is a big Metro Supermarket where you can pick up your name-brand groceries and household goods.
The area has two main outdoor green spaces to choose from, Trinity Bellwoods Park for everything from picnics to baseball games, and Dufferin Grove Park for a weekly Farmers’ Market.
Residents at Ideal Lofts will have TTC right at their fingertips, with east and west streetcars running along College, plus Bathurst routes north and south. The area is also accommodating to drivers, with smooth access to the Gardiner Expressway via Bathurst Street.
