The Foundry Lofts 100-year-old structure has a deep history in Toronto. The building was created as a factory for Canadian Foundry Corporation to manufacture railcars. After the factory was shut down the building was designated as a heritage site. In 2004 it was converted into residential units and the developers made a point to keep the original structure intact. The faded brick on the exterior of the building denotes this history and helps to make the Tannery Lofts one of the most unique Toronto Loft. The building has been divided into 100 units ranging from 750 to 2,500 square feet. Each unit features preserved industrial elements of the original building such as exposed brick. Each unit feels bright and warm thanks to the large windows that provide natural light. Those with ground floor units get the added benefits of private gardens as well. The building also offers many amenities, from a movie theatre to a 16,000 square foot shared atrium. The Foundry Lofts are situated in Davenport a neighbourhood known for its dynamic atmosphere.
