Rebirth of an Exchange Treasure




Summary


"These are features that have traditionally appealed to condo loft buyers," says real estate agent [Bill Thiessen] of RE/MAX Performance. "When people are looking for a loft, they think of natural wood, exposed brick, industrial finishes, and wide open spaces. It's the openness they are typically looking for."

"The existing floor is basically held up by beams and then there was a bunch of old wood," said [Neil Cooper]. "We infilled between the wooden beams for soundproofing and fireproofing." At the same time, the beams are still visible for aesthetic reasons.

"We also did things to allow duct shafts to pass through the floors and brought the building up to code requirements," says [Gerhard Hoppenheit]. "We installed a new stairwell on the north side of the building and even worked with the city to build a new sidewalk at the front of the building."
