Something big, bold and completely different is coming to the corner of Queen and Parliament: Warehouse Lofts Toronto. Thanks to the unique commercial zoning, this exciting concept is a complete reimagining of urban live/work space. Nothing else in the GTA comes close.
Located in the top five levels of the heritage-inspired Parliament&Co. boutique mid-rise, it offers the raw, industrial aesthetic of a conversion loft with the modern technology and guaranteed quality of a brand-new build – truly the best of both worlds.
You can live there and run a creative business, tech firm or other interesting startup out of your home – you’ll be joining an inspiring community of makers, thinkers, dreamers and doers. What could be more inspiring?
The building is unbeatable – and so is the location.
Warehouse Lofts Toronto is located at the corner of Queen and Parliament in New Corktown, just east of downtown in one of the city's fastest-growing arts and innovation hubs.
It’s an amazing place to live – the perfect mix of heritage homes and cutting-edge condos in an up-and-coming neighbourhood that’s poised for great things. Plus, if you operate a business out of your home, you'll be surrounded by some pretty inspiring neighbors. The WE Global Learning Centre, SAS Canada, Coca Cola, The Globe & Mail, Loyalty One, Scotiabank, George Brown College, Technicolor Creative Services and Google’s new Sidewalk City are all in the neighbourhood, putting your small business in some very good company.
The intimate main lobby welcomes you with an “Industrial Age meets Silicon Valley” vibe, featuring warm painted brick, polished concrete floors and natural textures and finishes.
In addition to the comfortable seating, the lobby has a high-tech feature you’ll love: an automated parcel delivery system which connects directly to smartphone.
Waiting for a delivery? The UPS driver or Amazon delivery guy can come in, scan your package, and a locker door opens. As soon as they’ve placed it inside and closed the door, you get a notification. Then you just scan your smart phone to access the secure locker and the package is yours!
This beautiful building only looks old. After all, it’s inspired by the historic structures that surround it, including the century-old We Charity Global Learning Centre nearby. At Warehouse Lofts Toronto, everything from the walls to the elevators to the digital operating system is brand new and state-of-the-art.
Big, bold spaces offer all the character of a traditional warehouse conversion with none of the drawbacks. Like soaring 10-foot ceilings – paired with a modern VRF heating & cooling system that will keep you comfortable all year around.
Each loft features massive warehouse-style windows that let in lots of natural light – and when the windows retract completely, they reveal a clean chic modern interior Juliet guard, turning your indoor space into an airy outdoor haven.
Plus, lofts on levels 6 and 8 offer large expansive terraces, with stunning skyline and green views, a rare find in any building in the city.
The three industrial-style elevators have an industrial heritage vibe; they’re high-speed and fully connected to the digital infrastructure of the building. So when you leave your loft or arrive at the garage, they sense you and show up automatically – no waiting. And they’re just one of the features in a building that’s designed to respond to you. Holy Batman!
And because Warehouse Lofts Toronto is a new build, your loft also comes with something else you'd never get with a building conversion: a Tarion warranty.
It really is the best of both worlds: inspired by history, powered by innovation.

Warehouse Lofts Toronto is powered by LoftConnect, a digital platform that connects you to the building, lets you control things from your smart phone or in-suite digital control panel, and makes life simple and easy in so many ways.
Technology Entry
Use your phone to open the front door, either in person or remotely. Got someone coming in to do a repair? It’s easy to let them in, whether you're at home or on the go. Forgot to lock your door or turn on your alarm when you left? You can do it in an instant, from wherever you are.
When you come into the building, sensors pick up your phone or your fob – there’s no need to pull it out of your pocket or purse to scan it. So if you've got an armful of groceries or you’re carrying a big box to your waiting Uber, the door will sense you and open automatically.
LoftConnect also enables building management to communicate with you in an unobtrusive way. If window cleaners are scheduled to be working on a certain day, you’ll get a message on your smart phone as well as on the screen in your loft.
The elevator knows when you need it
Use LoftConnect to turn on your alarm as you leave your loft, and the system will immediately summon the elevator to your level. The system will recognize your license plate as you pull into the garage, so an elevator will be ready and waiting when you get out of your car.
LoftConnect also lets you remotely control the temperature in your loft (great for energy savings while you're away). Available upgrades also include remote control blinds and lights.
Keeping you safe
Cameras are placed strategically throughout the building, and the system allows you to see views of all entryways, so you always know who you're letting in.
