The adaptive reuse project at 250 Ferrand Drive is reshaping Toronto’s rental landscape as a 15-storey former office building undergoes a major conversion into purpose-built rental housing. Designed by Core Architects for Amexon Development Corporation, the e lofts project is progressing rapidly through its demolition and facade installation phases.<\/p>\n
Recent site visits reveal significant momentum: new cladding now covers twelve residential levels on the northwest elevation, with glazing reaching near-completion on most floors. The distinctive facade features a staggered grid pattern with randomized vertical panels that animate the exterior, while blue-tinted reflective glazing subdivides into operable windows and fixed panes accented by orangey-brown and charcoal-coloured sections.<\/p>\n
The former parking garage has been demolished, clearing the way for temporary landscaping and future second-phase redevelopment. Standing at 64.69 meters, e lofts represents a growing trend of converting underutilized office space into much-needed rental housing across the GTA.<\/p>\n
