TIP TOP LOFTS – 637 Lake Shore Blvd West

Date Registered (2005-07-27)

You might have seen the iconic red Tip Top Tailors signage from the Gardiner Expressway or the train. Well, now you have a chance to live at these historical lofts! The amazing two-storey lofts in the Tip Top Tailors building are truly unique and allow residents to live in a captured history. 

Home to 256 units in 11 storeys, the soft lofts of Tip Top Lofts were converted from the original building of the Tip Top Tailor Company, which was operating in the late 1920s. Now the building has been renovated for lofts, but it still holds a lot of its original charge and aesthetic both inside and out. 

The Tip Top Lofts are located at 637 Lake Shore Blvd West, just south of Lake Shore Blvd and on the edge of both Lake Ontario and Coronation Park. These condos still have much of the authentic historical charm of the Tip Top Tailors as their exterior architectural design is still Art-Deco, and one of the only Art-Deco buildings in Toronto. 

This building was converted to condos in 2006, and since then, many residents have been able to enjoy a home in this lovely period building, fit with premium lofts inside and shared amenities for residents, all in a tremendous location. The structure, which was originally used as a multi-functional factory, warehouse, and office building for Tip Top Tailors was restructured internally. However, much of the exterior still remains intact. 

With its wide, concrete-base, geometric motifs, and round-about front parking lot, the Tip Top Lofts feel monumental, and a bit like a luxury hotel. Inside, residents can expect soft lofts with exposed concrete ceilings and double-decker floor-to-ceiling windows. Condos range in size, starting at a modest 400 square feet and spanning up to 3,200+ square feet with plenty of living space. One-bedroom units and penthouse suites are available spanning two-storeys, with unique add-ons. 

Kitchens are completely modern with stainless steel appliances and marble sinks. If you have a spot with an outdoor living space, like baloney or terrace, then there is a gas hookup for the BBQ available. Regardless, every home has a perfect view that overlooks either the beautiful city skyline or Lake Ontario sunsets. 

Sleek modern finishes, sliding doors, extended ceilings, added on-suite; the options here at Tip Top Lofts are unique and provide future homeowners with a lot of options. You will not want to pass up on your chance to live in this iconic building.
