Overview

The 468 Wellington Lofts have acquired quite a reputation over the past 100 years — the building is home to some of the stateliest lofts in all of Toronto. After doing some simple math, it becomes evident how much space the 11 Toronto lofts within have to enjoy: at 6 storeys high, each level of this low-rise hard loft contains no more than 2 homes. In fact, one of the units at the 468 Wellington Lofts has yet to be surpassed as the largest ground floor loft in the city.

Originally built in 1915, the structure was once home to the Butterick Publishing House. Butterick was once responsible for the worldwide circulation of fashion magazines, and now the site is home to some of the most elegant and well dressed Torontonians. Notable homeowners have even been known to dwell in the lofts — rumours of record producer and media mogul neighbours have been circulating as of late.

While the building itself offers few shared amenities, the largest of homes at the 468 Wellington Lofts can double as dining halls, ballrooms, theatres, and more, depending on how owners choose to configure their own personal spaces. Following the building’s 2001 conversion into residential units, the first crop of homeowners purchased blank slate lofts and each proceeded to personalize them. Today, then, each unit is unique in form and figure — one spectacular three-bedroom loft in the building even boasts a home movie theatre.

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.
