155 Dalhousie St, Toronto

Overview
If you’re looking for a downtown Toronto condo with character and wow factor at a reasonable price, you’ve found it. Formerly the Simpson’s department store warehouse, later Simpson Sears, the Merchandise Lofts are steeped in history.
It’s actually a complex of several conjoined buildings constructed between 1910 and 1949 in a popular architectural style of the age known as the Chicago School. Known for its soaring ceilings and large windows, polished concrete floors, exposed ductwork and mushroom columns, these sweet suites are most appealing to buyers who love industrial hard-lofts and favour edge over softness. One of the best features of this building is its reasonable square footage prices. Toronto is known for its quality, historic loft conversions but all of that charm typically comes at a price that’s out of reach of most young buyers.
In contrast, the Merchandise Lofts offers so many different unit sizes, shapes and price points along with a higher volume of listings than boutique Toronto lofts can offer, making it great choice for first time buyers. Likewise, it’s enduring popularity and stellar location make it a good investment for buyers who want to grow their real estate wealth as well as investors looking to purchase rental properties.
