Gotham Lofts – 781 King St W

Date Registered (1997-03-21)

In 1917, the building that is now known as the Gotham Lofts condos was created to house a horse harness manufacturing business. Later, it became a textile mill, and today, this significant landmark in Toronto’s history retains this vintage vibe within its fifty four loft-style condos.  As one of the first loft conversions in the King West area, many details within the Gotham Lofts condos allude to its past, and provide historical charm throughout, such as the brass railing staircase in the lobby.  Starting at 594 square foot one bedrooms to an expansive 1,529 square foot two bedroom lofts, there’s plenty of room for your unique lifestyle amidst the six storeys of the Gotham Lofts condos.

Developed by Canadian Equity and Development Corporation, great attention to detail was paid to retaining the genuine hard loft feel of the structure. Exposed brick walls and wooden posts and beams offer a chic background to the stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.  The second level loft area is accessible by wrought iron spiral staircases- a classic nod to the building’s industrious past.
