Overview
Yes, the lofts at the Loretto are as regal as their name implies. Even just a glimpse at the majestic façade is likely to cause a passerby to stop and stare. It’s no wonder, then, that not one, but three well-respected designers were building this building’s renovation.
In 2007, Context Developments, Architects Alliance, and Quadrangle Architects all teamed up to convert a former school at 385 Brunswick Avenue in The Annex into hard lofts fit for posh, modern-day residents.
What’s more, the conversion process was a high-stakes one, since the building was given a heritage status designation in 2001 for its exemplary showcase of early 20th Century Scholastic and Beaux-Arts architectural styles. Detailed masonry, cornices, and bay windows are among some of the rare details that set it apart from other hard lofts in the city.
As a result, what was originally used to house the Loretto Abbey Day School is today home to 50 spectacular Toronto lofts. Now over a century old, the 1915-built structure provides charm and character. Even the original front doors remain, now ushering residents in through the very ones that students first once walked through each school day. Even the courtyard that students previously enjoyed during recess has been cleverly repurposed into a courtyard for residents to gather in.
While they may have made decisions based on the building’s heritage designation, the developers behind the Loretto certainly didn’t compromise when it came to the common amenities. Residents living at 385 Brunswick can enjoy the gym, party room, and meeting room, all of which are located above the parking garage.

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.
