Builder's Description:

The much anticipated sequel to the Academy Lane Lofts boasting 12-20' ceilings, large outdoor spaces and gourmet kitchens. The Beach House loft sales centre opened in September 2004, and within 4 days only one loft remained.

City of Toronto - 2009 Toronto Urban Design Awards Submission:
A two phase project that has proved very successful in transforming a once dilapidated “other-side-of-the tracks” block of Queen Street East into a continuation of the vibrant and much cherished streetscape known as The Beaches.

Located in the Beaches District just west of Queen East & Woodbine Ave, the authentic conversion of a bowling alley (now 1852) and the rejuvenation of the once primarily vacant neighboring properties (now 1842) have provided for a true revitalization that continues to be enjoyed by the community today.

The 3 and 4 storey buildings fit in harmony with the existing context, providing uniquely impressive loft-style living spaces and prime retail at grade that have brought about an energetic and animated frontage that had otherwise become lifeless.
