This week on Pick 5, David Fleming tours five one-bedroom soft loft condos across downtown Toronto. Soft lofts were designed to recreate the industrial charm buyers love about true loft conversions, featuring high ceilings, exposed concrete, large windows, and open-concept layouts, but built from the ground up for modern condo living.
David explores a range of boutique buildings and iconic loft communities, comparing layouts, pricing, lifestyle appeal, and who each property is really best suited for.
This week’s picks:
- 02:03 — 319 Carlaw Ave #607: Entry-level soft loft featuring high ceilings, exposed concrete, and an open layout. A junior one-bedroom design in a strong loft pocket surrounded by iconic hard loft conversions
- 05:33 — 383 Sorauren Ave: Boutique soft loft beside the Robert Watson Lofts. Efficient inset bedroom layout, strong amenities, and excellent long-term building reputation
