Work has begun on the Flatiron Lots, one of two projects built by
Lamb Developments in the city's east end.
Managed by 59 Project Management, Flatiron Lofts (11 storeys at 1201 Dundas East), and Work Lofts (12 storeys at 319 Carlaw Avenue), are sister buildings, separated only by a small strip of land.
"They're more in keeping with the old industrial nature of Leslieville," says 59's Philip Marsland. "They're made to look more like warehouse buildings, with red brick and big black windows."
Put in place where a Leather Ranch and an old gas station once stood, respectively, work began on Flatiron in June, and on the Work Lofts last February. Both are on 19-month construction cycles, meaning Work is expected to be completed by August, 2012, and Flatiron by December of the same year.
The first two levels will be commercial and retail space, while the rest of the space � 157 units in Work Lofts and 97 units in Flatiron � will be residential.
