Something is inspiring about a spacious loft in the heart of the city. Loft living conjures images of exposed brick and floor-to-ceiling windows, of brilliant artistic minds at work, of sunsets and bohemian joie de vivre. The loft as we know it sprang up in New York City in the 1960s, inspired by artist lofts in Paris—so it’s fitting that a city like Montréal, which has touches of both cities within it, boasts such an excellent collection of luxury loft condos.
What makes a loft a loft? Is it the always-elegant combination of exposed brick, high ceilings, and wooden beams? Is it the years of history contained between its walls? Or is it the convenient location in the midst of the downtown core? Whatever the answer, Montréal’s urban lofts confirm: outside-the-box living is just a converted warehouse or boundary-pushing build away.
Considering a move to downtown Montréal? Explore these luxury condos and find your next elevated pied-à-terre.
