Once a slum for immigrant workers, Corktown is truly coming into its own. With the revitalization of Queen Street East ramping up ever faster, this area is one to keep your eye on. The Corktown Lofts were developed by Plazacorp (of Chocolate Company Lofts fame) and was completed in 1997 with only eight hard loft units.
These are generous Toronto lofts with 1,400 square-foot lofts selling well over the $300,000 range, which makes them the right choice for a lot of east-end urbanites. The only issue is that the condo fees are quite high, even with no amenities. Features include exposed wood beams and hardwood floors. Some of the units have terraces.
The Corktown Lofts offer 2 storey live/work lofts with vaulted ceilings, original cedar post and beams, plank hardwood floors, and large windows. The revitalization of Queen Street East is apparent by the new loft conversion projects in the area, such as the Queen City Vinegar Company Lofts right next door at 19 River Street and the Tannery Lofts around the corner on Dundas.
