Overview

The lofts at 243 Perth Avenue have changed several times, in both name and function, over the years. Originally built in 1913, the structure first housed the Perth Avenue Methodist Church, before becoming Seventh Day Adventist. Today, the building is in the process of being transformed into the Arch Lofts. But even before 243 Perth Avenue was destined to become the Arch Lofts, it was advertised, and even sold, as the Union Lofts.

Windmill Development Group Ltd. And Cornerstone Lofts Ltd. actually began work on the building’s conversion into residences a few years back. The hard lofts were slated for completion November 2014, but as construction sometimes doesn’t go as smoothly as planned, they will now be ready for move-in mid 2017.

So while the name and the date have changed, one thing hasn’t: these hard lofts are located within a 100-year-old heritage building in downtown Toronto. Regardless of setbacks, then, the Arch Lofts is one of only a handful of distinctive church-to-loft conversions in the city.

A contemporary low-rise addition is also part of the site, best suited for those who favour the modern over the historical. With the old juxtaposing so ingeniously with the new, the loft epitomizes the current state of Toronto as a whole. Yet another nod to one of Toronto’s favoured modes of transportation is the ample bicycle parking available at 243 Perth Avenue.

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.
