Downtown unique condo project in Toronto sticks to it's knitting


CITY TV CAMERAMAN SWUNG PAST BARTLETT AVENUE TO SPIN A YARN ABOUT THE NEW LANEHOUSE CONDO PROJECT

It happened this evening in the Bloor/Dufferin district. A century old Toronto yarn factory, hidden at the end of an inner city lane is going to be retooled rather than torn down. The ancient building, vacant for years, will soon house 16 urban/art condo suites.

For now the building is gloriously empty with high high ceilings, battle worn brick walls and a polished concrete floor. Tonight was the hip, avant-garde sales launch. There was a yarn bar, a yarn art installation and three swings in the middle of the room where three yarn bombing models swung and knit in mid-air (acquired taste for sure).

The action was hot and heavy with potential buyers showing strong interest (and waving cheque books) with the project. CITY TV got in the action with their cameraman getting footage of the swinging party!

There is a model suite already installed at the Lanehouse project featuring a living room with an 18-ft high ceiling and an overlooking bedroom loft. The unit will eventually have a private rooftop terrace.
