Overview
Everyone in Toronto loves a good Pedestrian Sunday in Kensington Market neighbourhood: vendors set up shop outside their storefronts, dancers and entertainers alike fuel the day’s wild energy, and the aromas of various cuisines mingle in the air. What weekend visitors don’t realize about the market, however, is the serenity enjoyed by residents once the week begins.
It’s no wonder, what with Kensington Market’s lengthy history, that the area contain a hard loft conversion or two. Located at 160 Baldwin & 21 Nassau, the structure that houses the Kensington Market Lofts is nearly a century old. Originally a 1920s schoolhouse, 160 Baldwin & 21 Nassau was first transformed into part of George Brown College before becoming residential lofts in 2000.
The final renovation process was executed by Context Developments, resulting in 145 authentic hard lofts in the heart of the market. Curiously, the building technically has two addresses: 160 Baldwin & 21 Nassau. The Nassau side is outfitted with gardens, and ground-floor homes facing this street boast their very own private entrances. The ground floor of the Baldwin side, on the other hand, is filled with retail shops for residents and visitors to enjoy.
As for outdoor spaces, some upper-storey lofts are equipped with rooftop terraces or gardens, while other residents will opt to spend time reading or relaxing on the shared rooftop terrace, or in the communal landscaped courtyard below.
Although residents of the Kensington Market Lofts are likely to be found out and about in the city, the building offers a party room and a meeting room for when the mood to host strikes.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
