Not a listing site. A catalogue of (almost) every loft building downtown — its history, its conversion, and every sale closed in it over ten years. Free to join.
Each address opens to its own record: history, statistics and every closed sale. Compare any building against up to two others.
A 1929 bottle-cap factory on Carlaw Avenue, subdivided into small work studios in the 1990s and converted to live-work condominium lofts at the turn of the 2000s.
Loft sites often call this a former Coca-Cola plant of the 1960s. It went up in 1929 for Crown Cork & Seal, which made bottle caps here until the company left in the 1960s. In 1996 the engineer Gyan Jain filled it with cheap work units for artists, then converted it to a live-work condominium in 2002.
Units are live-work and vary sharply in shape. Ceilings run from about 16 feet to 30 in the double- and triple-height spaces under the roof. Reported sizes vary widely by source, from around 400 square feet upward.
How often units trade and what they trade for, computed from closed sales only.
Market data records size as a band (e.g. 800–899 sq ft). Every price per square foot on this page uses the midpoint of the band.
The line is the year's blended figure (total dollars over total square feet); the shaded band spans the bottom-to-top-of-band range.
Year figures move with the mix of what sold.
Every closed sale in the record, newest first.
