Standing at 637 Lake Shore Boulevard West is one of Toronto s true tributes to innovation, and high, renovation- class living, the Tip Top Loft condominium complex.

They are located right on Lake Ontario within local proximity to the Martin Goodman Waterfront Park and trail system, as well as all of the excitement that makes up the atmosphere of the Toronto waterfront. The exclusive lofts that are part of this building s appeal are unique in several aspects in comparison to other Toronto condominiums. The building is within walking distance to Ontario Place and a quick ferry ride from Toronto Island. Two stories high on average, they are spacious and comfortable with a soft loft appeal. The condos themselves are also unique. There s no doubt that many aspects of the modern Tip Top Loft building are unique, but in fact the singularity of this complex stretches right to the very foundation of the building itself. It is one of the historic buildings in the city that enjoys a long history and a place in the cultural and commercial history of the city.

The Tip Top Loft condo complex is not just a testament to the luxury of high class living, but also to the innovation and ingenuity that keep the city of Toronto in the limelight as one of the most cutting edge locations in North America. Residents of the Tip Top Loft complex can chalk up the incredible location, with its gorgeous view and easy access to all amenities, to the fact that the building itself was originally commercial in nature. Classified as an Art Deco building, the Tip Top structure was used both for office and warehouse purposes. It was constructed in 1929 by contracting company Bishop and Miller for the Tip Top Tailor clothing company, one of the largest men s clothing chains in Canada. At a time when highways and super freeways did not cross the landscape as it is today, access to the waters and ports of the Great Lakes was a huge commercial advantage, thus the location of the building proved to be invaluable. The company was sold to Dylex, who were interested in the chain and its potential, rather then any of the buildings the chain owned.

With the Great Depression, Tip Top Tailors and others fell on hard times, and were forced to downsize as well as to review company policy. The result was a rejuvenation of the corporate side, but this did not extend to the real estate holdings, and buildings like the warehouse were allowed to degenerate. The move to conserve space, the appeal for the modern individual of a manageable living area, as well as skyrocketing real estate prices would all combine, bringing new life for the building, which was sold to Context Development Inc in 200The company renovated the historic structure into the high- end condominium building it is today, registering the complex in 200 Today, these condos( including the additional three floors of two storey units) are some of the most in demand pieces of real estate in Toronto.
