Hudson Lofts gets its name from the Hudson Bay Company which used to utilize the building as a warehouse at the start of the 20th century. The building today has kept its historic charm and beauty with large concrete pillars disrupting the buildings red brick façade. Large windows are evenly scattered around the building and detailed crowning which lines the top of the building. The interior of Hudson lofts has also managed to keep the industrial charm the exterior has. The 31 units in the five-storey building all feature typical loft features such as exposed brick and concrete, wooden beams and hardwood or tiled floors. The vaulted ceilings and large windows combine to bring a sense of scale to each unit. The open concept layouts only emphasize this, creating floorplans ideal for hosting. Some of the lucky units also feature luxuries such as walk in closets and in floor heating. Hudson Lofts is located just a stones throw away from downtown in Connaught.
