Tip Top Lofts offers a rare blend of heritage charm and modern design. Located on Lake Shore Boulevard West near Bathurst Street, this striking Art Deco building is easy to spot. The bold red “Tip Top Tailors” sign perched on its roof has become a beloved fixture along Toronto’s waterfront.

Originally built in 1929 by Bishop & Miller, the building once served as a warehouse and office space for the Tip Top Tailors clothing company. In 2005, it was transformed into one of Toronto’s most prestigious loft residences. Now, the 11-storey structure is home to 256 unique lofts, ranging from compact 500 sq. ft. units to luxurious 3,171 sq. ft. suites.

Building features

The lower floors feature authentic hard lofts, complete with original mushroom-shaped concrete columns, soaring 15-foot ceilings, and exposed ductwork. Meanwhile, the upper floors offer soft lofts with a modern touch. All units boast open-concept layouts, expansive warehouse-style windows, designer kitchens, and premium finishes.

Many suites face west, offering stunning summer sunsets and scenic views of the nearby yacht club and waterfront. This prime location is set to benefit even further from ongoing waterfront revitalization plans, making it a smart long-term investment. In fact, Tip Top Lofts has seen consistent year-over-year value growth since its conversion.

Residents enjoy an impressive lineup of amenities. These include a rooftop deck, fully equipped exercise room, party and meeting rooms, BBQ areas, and a relaxing sauna. The building is also pet-friendly and sits next to a spacious park, perfect for outdoor activities.

Beyond the building, the Fort York neighbourhood offers a rich mix of nature and culture. You’ll be close to the Harbourfront Centre, the CNE grounds, and the Molson Amphitheatre. With easy access to bike trails, transit, and the downtown core, Tip Top Lofts truly combines historic charm with modern convenience.
