The historic loft comes with its original sliding factory doors, Douglas fir ceilings and exposed brick
A former pharmaceutical warehouse at the corner of Broadview and Eastern that’s been transformed into a one-bedroom-plus-den hard loft.The United Drug Company constructed this five-storey warehouse and factory in 1914 and operated a pharmacy and soda fountain on its ground floor until 1943. The building remained unchanged until 2006, when developers expanded the structure and created a collection of 160 lofts.
This second-floor unit, last bought and renovated in 2020, comes with a new kitchen, designer furnishings and retro-factory sliding doors and windows. Realtor Kerrie McNair says the owner had planned to live in the space until a career opportunity convinced her to relocate to the UK.
“It’s rare to find a place in Toronto with this much of the industrial feel preserved,” says McNair. Highlights include the Douglas fir ceilings, steel stairs, exposed brick walls and massive windows. The elevated door on the living room wall is decorative, giving a quirky nod to the place’s original operations.The place is staged with pieces from Toronto designers
