Ideal Lofts
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.
