1201 Dundas Street E

Unlike its namesake, the 10-storey soft loft structure known as the Flatiron Lofts are 21st century chic. Lamb Development Corp. may have been inspired by New York City’s infamous Flatiron Building, however their residential project at 1201 Dundas Street East was anything but an attempt to duplicate it precisely. Rather, these lofts are a more modern and progressive interpretation of its early 1900’s, renaissance revival style muse.

Completed in 2012, the Flatiron Lofts are rounded in an ultramodern fashion, and built of correspondingly contemporary materials of cool grey brick, steel, and glass. The Flatiron Lofts are also situated above retail spaces and next door to their sister building, Work Lofts, forming a modern-day community for residents of each edifice to enjoy.

With the needs of today’s population in mind, Lamb Development Corp. was sure to incorporate a few crucial amenities into the building. A shared rooftop terrace offers an opportunity for summertime bonding sessions between neighbours, as well as sunset views of the city. A party room is also available for residents who have trouble making cuts to their guest lists.
