The Abbey Lofts
384 Sunnyside Avenue

The Abbey Lofts are located in a converted 1911 neo-Gothic church situated between Roncesvalles Avenue and High Park in a high-demand community with great shopping, restaurants and nightlife, and lots of room for recreation in Toronto’s most beautiful downtown park. Public transportation, a five-minute walk to the Bloor subway line, is excellent, and there are three streetcars nearby, running along College, Dundas, and King.

The Abbey Lofts is a 24 unit project created in a neo-Gothic church that was built in the Medieval Revival style in 1911. The light-grey solid limestone walls and stone cladding of architect William George Burns’ church, built for a Methodist congregation, are unchanged in nearly a century.

The National Post has a story about the “Kings of Condo City“. Check it out, it’s an interesting read.

The detail I found most interesting was that Toronto has become North America’s biggest condo market, with more units now under development than Manhattan, Chicago and Los Angeles.
