The Best New Condo Conversions
Conversions have been increasingly popular in the Toronto market. Some of the most popular condominiums on the resale market are loft conversions of old buildings that include Factories, Churches, Hotels and much more. Conversions give unique characteristics of buildings (such as tall ceilings, large windows, original architecture) that were built decades ago but benefit from modern restoration.
