Imperial Lofts
A 65-unit conversion of the former Imperial Optical warehouse and office buildings at 80 and 90 Sherbourne.
Overview & history
The complex is two adjoining structures: a six-storey brick-and-beam warehouse at 90 Sherbourne and a lower Art Deco office building at 80. Both were occupied by the Imperial Optical Company through much of the twentieth century. Plazacorp converted them in the late 1990s into 65 lofts under one corporation.
Units run from one-bedroom suites to two-storey three-bedroom lofts with terraces, keeping exposed red brick, timber beams and ventilation ducts. Shared facilities are a party room and a rooftop terrace.
Timeline
The six-storey brick-and-beam warehouse at 90 Sherbourne is built.
The Imperial Optical Company uses both buildings as warehouse and offices, giving the condominium its name.
