10 Wellesley Pl, Toronto
Steam Plant Lofts
Overview
Located on Wellesley Place just east of Jarvis Street, Steam Plant Lofts is a charming loft conversion building nestled on a quiet and secluded side street in Toronto’s growing St. Jamestown.
As the name suggests, the building was once a power plant with a 61 metre-high smokestack, built in 1953 to supply power for the Wellesley and Princess Margaret Hospitals. In 2008, the property was transformed into a modern residence with 31 Toronto lofts across just five-storeys. The smokestack was preserved during construction, and its curved structure gives the building a unique character with a variety of round bedrooms and dens and original exposed brick. The suites are offered in one and two-bedroom layouts, showcasing beautiful hard-loft features such as high-ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, refurbished sliding barn doors, hardwood floors, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and rooftop terraces.
In a fun neighbourhood that’s home to many artists, musicians, journalists and writers, Steam Plants Lofts offers a secluded, urban experience that is still very close to Toronto’s Financial District, Yonge-Dundas Square, and Toronto’s Eaton Centre.
