IT’S ABOUT LIVING
THE GOOD LIFE...
This is IT.
What’s your
perfect place?
Is it a spot right in the centre of the city?
Perhaps a place with tree-lined streets and gracious
homes? Or maybe a ‘hood’ that has a relaxed,
continental vibe, with chic boutiques and great cafes?
This is IT. Live at IT Lofts, and you can have it all.
Say buon giorno to la dolce vita in downtown’s
favourite neighbourhood. Rising seven storeys above
the stylish streets of Toronto’s Little Italy, IT Lofts put
you at the centre of vibrant city living. Great nightlife,
beautiful residential streets, and charming shops,
cafes and restaurants offer a modern European
sensibility you won’t find anywhere else in Toronto.
IT’s the ideal place to live, work and play.
In fact, IT’s the perfect spot to call home.
DRAMATIC DESIGN.
With architecture that’s geometric, angular and remarkably
varied, this is no cookie-cutter construction project. IT Lofts
is an artful blend of design and function that merges glass
and concrete with striking marble accents, dark with light,
recessed spaces with jutting elements. It all works together
to create a harmonious structure that’s unexpected,
exciting – and remarkably beautiful.
STREET-LEVEL SHOPS AND CAFES.
The ground level retail space ties the building
seamlessly into the streetscape, with shops and spots
for outdoor cafe-style seating that beckon passers-by
with an inviting place to sit, sip and be seen.
Sleek, chic and quietly sophisticated, the
lobby is characterized by warm woods,
clean lines and thoughtful design.
Appealingly reclaimed wood wall, soft
lighting and earthy neutral colours create
a serene space that makes a statement.
IT’S A FOREST IN THE SKY.
Beautiful sixth-floor lofts are surrounded by spacious
terraces - and unexpectedly lush greenery that gives
your space a lovely garden-like appeal.
What a view!
VIEW FROM THE PENTHOUSE – 7TH LEVEL
EAST
VIEW FROM THE PENTHOUSE – 7TH LEVEL
HORTHWEST
Lofts overlook one of the prettiest neighbourhoods in the city. To the south and
southeast, there’s a view of the Toronto skyline and a glimpse of the blue lake
beyond. Face north and you’ll see residential rooftops and the fresh green
expanse of Dufferin Grove Park. East and west facing lofts also have a
beautiful view of the neighbourhood, overlooking the roofs and chimneys,
front yards and back gardens of Little Italy, Little Portugal and beyond.
SOUTHEAST

IT’s your event space.
Amenities include a great multipurpose room
that can be changed according to your needs.
Want to get together with friends? Grab a six-pack and head
down to the first floor for a relaxed evening in this stylish,
laid-back space. Play a friendly game of pool, gather round
the big screen or just kick back on the comfortable couches.
When it’s time to host a more formal dinner, bring the
good dishes downstairs. The billiards table conveniently
transforms into an elegant dining table for 10, and the
room’s elegant, contemporary design makes a great
setting for a memorable meal.
Add some colour to your life.
A FUSION OF CULTURE.
IT Lofts is located on the vibrant stretch
of College between Dufferin and
Dovercourt, right in the middle of a
deliciously colourful neighbourhood
that’s home to Italian cafes and
Portuguese bakeries, Brazilian soccer
bars and Thai noodle spots, hipster
hangouts and hot nightspots.
Around here, the lines between
neighbourhoods get blurred, and it’s
hard to tell where Little Italy ends and
Little Portugal begins. But that’s a good
thing. IT creates a community where
diverse cultures blend to create a
dynamic, livable place that’s got just
about everything going for it.

Add some f lavour to your life.
Take traditional Italian, mix it in with a little Portuguese, spice
it up with inventive Brazilian fare, and blend in a few chic
bars, organic spots and trendy foodie favourites, and what
do you get? The local flavour. (And it’s completely delicious.)
Living at IT Lofts puts you at the centre of the Toronto dining
scene. Mix it up with everything from European cafes in Little
Italy (there’s nothing like a lazy espresso-filled afternoon on
the patio at Cafe Diplomatico) to hipster hotspots on nearby
Ossington.
Plus, Dufferin Grove Park, just a stone’s throw from IT Lofts,
offers a friendly, uniquely urban gathering place where you
can shop for at the organic farmer’s market, pick up warm
loaves and crispy pizzas from the public bake ovens, or join
your friends at the park’s popular Friday night suppers.
IT’s time for a taste of the good life.
