For those looking for a building with character, look no further than the corner of Barton Street and Birch Avenue!
Each unit is unique, and buyers will be able to further customize their unit to suit their needs and personalities. The building already includes spectacular features such as ceiling heights as tall as seventeen feet, wood beams, massive windows, and beautiful brick walls. Garden level units will have private outdoor spaces perfect for those with little furry family members! The building will also include commercial/residential units, a cafe, bar, and beautifully designed, fully furnished studios for $289,900- perfect for first time home buyers and investors.
Conversions are our thing. Previous comparable projects include Toronto’s Candy Factory Lofts and Hamilton’s Stinson School Lofts.
Candy Factory Lofts is widely acknowledged as the project that launched Toronto’s extraordinary boom in downtown condo and loft living and directly transformed the previously derelict industrial neighborhoods along King and Queen Street. Although initially viewed with skepticism by many in the development industry (and especially by bankers), units within the building have soared in value to ten times their original price and are constantly featured in design magazines. The key is the degree to which the original character of the building has been retained and highlighted.
With forty-decades of experience in conversions, we believe Gibson School Lofts will be Hamilton’s equivalent to the Candy Factory. As with the Candy Factory Lofts, each of the sixty-six suites in the Stinson School Lofts is unique and photogenic. Every inch of the building was creatively repurposed, and as predicted, the urban renewal was dramatic, for which the building received multiple awards. Gibson School Lofts will without a doubt benefit from the experience converting a nearly identical building.
Along with many other economic developments happening within the Barton Village, the Lofts will help restore Barton Street to the vibrant street it once was.
We have Open Houses Wednesdays 5pm-9pm and Weekends 11am-4pm, 207 Gibson Avenue and we welcome you to come and experience the beauty of The Gibson School Lofts.
