Overview

Trying to find authentic Toronto lofts in Leslieville & South Riverdale can be something akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, the hard lofts at 525 Logan Avenue are here to assist anyone searching for heritage and style within a charming, family friendly neighbourhood.

The Printers Row Lofts is not merely a loft to be settled on, however. These 12 homes, set within a historic frame, were designed by award winning developer Bob Mitchell of Mitchell Lofts. Built in 1911 by architect W.F. Carmichael, the traditional, rectangular red brick structure at 525 Logan Avenue was originally home to the headquarters of Bell Telephone.

The building was later repurposed, functioning as a printing press churching out plans for ABSO Blueprints. It was not until 2001 that Mitchell had his shot at carving character-rich yet updated homes out of the existing structure. The result was like a breath of fresh air for the neighbourhood — 12 modish hard lofts appeared amidst a myriad of single- and semi-detached homes. Upon its completion, Toronto Star architecture critic Christopher Hume even granted the Printers Row Lofts an A rating.

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.
