Sololoft

Fifteen feet of ceiling. It is the first thing you notice when you walk into the Sololoft: your eye travels up the full-height windows to the mezzanine where the bedroom sits.

The Sololoft has no factory in its past, and it does not pretend to. It was built in 2020 at the entrance to Lachine around one simple idea: give a new condo the volume of a loft. Three storeys, 48 lofts, and the same gesture in each one. Downstairs, the living room, dining area and kitchen share the full height. Upstairs, on the mezzanine, the bedroom and the bathroom.

According to our records, units range from 546 to 726 sq ft. Brick and stone on the facade, concrete balconies with glass railings, an elevator and an underground garage. On the roof, a shared terrace for ending the day outside. On the ground floor, some units have their own terrace; on the upper floors, several open onto a balcony.

Picture a long worktable under the window, fifteen feet of air above it, and the bedroom tucked away one level up. It is a plan made for one person or a couple who want height without the upkeep of a house.

Outside, Lachine. The Lachine Canal and boulevard Saint-Joseph are a 13-minute walk, with the canal bike path heading east. Gare du Canal is a 17-minute walk, and Highways 20 and 13 are close by for those who drive.

The Sololoft is for people who want a first new loft, open to the height, in a neighbourhood where the water is never far.

Every loft has a story. The Sololoft's begins in 2020, with a plan that chose height. Our job is to help you find the one that becomes yours. Olivier Mailloux and Amélie Flanagan, real estate brokers, follow the Lachine loft market closely and work with buyers and sellers across Montreal.
