365 Dundas St E #115

Step inside 365 Dundas Street East, Unit 115, and you’ll know right away: this isn’t just another condo. It’s a hard loft with real history, industrial texture, and a central address that keeps you connected to the city.

This ground-level suite wears its past proudly. Originally the Imperial Optical Lens Factory, Century Lofts was converted in 2000 and today offers just 41 units. Inside this loft, the details are unmistakable: 11.5-foot ceilings, exposed steel beams, original brick, slatted wood ceilings, and expansive factory-style windows that let natural light pour in. Even the bedroom carries that character, framed by exposed wood beams that give the space warmth and authenticity.

The main living area is open and generous, designed for flexibility. Picture friends gathered around the oversized kitchen island — it seats four comfortably — while dinner simmers on the stove. With plenty of prep space and storage, this kitchen doesn’t just look good, it works. Beyond the kitchen, the open living space stretches wide under soaring ceilings, equally suited to a Friday night movie marathon or a dinner party that runs late. It’s the kind of space that lets you decide how you want to live, rather than forcing you into a set layout.

Above, a bonus loft adds versatility: a guest sleeping nook when friends drop by or extra storage for your gear.. It’s not a separate second bedroom, but it gives you options — and in a city where space is always at a premium, that kind of flexibility is gold.

At the front of the loft, a private street-level entrance adds everyday convenience. Just grab your bike, step outside, and you’re on your way. If you work from home, it’s easy to carve out a defined office area and keep routines distinct. Dog owners will especially appreciate the freedom of a quick in-and-out.

Practical perks are here too: a covered surface parking spot, a storage locker, secure bike storage, and in the lobby, a Canada Post parcel locker that also doubles as an outgoing mail slot. The building even includes something rare in Toronto condos — a communal “hardware hub” in the garbage room, stocked with basics like ladders and tools, so minor fixes don’t require a trip to the hardware store.

Head upstairs to the building’s third floor and you’ll find the shared amenities: a freshly updated gym, a party room, and access to the rooftop terrace. With a propane BBQ, plenty of seating, and open sky overhead, it’s a spot where neighbours gather, morning yoga mats unroll, and summer evenings stretch long. The building’s art committee keeps the lobby with rotating works, reinforcing the creative spirit that defines Century Lofts. And yes, it’s pet-friendly — furry friends are welcome here.

Living at Dundas and Sherbourne means living downtown in its truest form. The neighbourhood has grit, but this is also what keeps the address central and accessible — steps to transit, minutes to downtown offices, galleries, shops, and nightlife. It’s the trade-off for living in a hard loft with real character at a price point that still makes sense. 

Century Lofts is for people who see beauty in exposed beams and brick, who want community without anonymity, and who understand that loft living is about authenticity, not gloss. If you’ve been waiting for a space that feels like a reflection of your own identity — and one that keeps you rooted in the core — this might just be it.
