This Toronto garage is now a $7 million loft space

Right in the heart of Toronto's King West area is this fairly unassuming two-storey industrial brick building. 

It has two garage doors, eight parking spots, just under 7,000 square feet of space, and a world of possibilities.

As Colliers listing agent Richard​​​​ Shouldice points out, 581 Wellington St. W is unique in that it has zoning permits for residential and commercial uses.581 Wellington St. W Toronto

The lobby area. 

So it could be trendy offices, stylish apartments, or a combination of both.

Smaller offices line a hallway. 

If you want it to stay an office building, you don't even have to put in that much work, as the building has been fully renovated with new windows, new roof and more.

The polished concrete floors, the exposed duct work, and soaring ceilings create a cool canvas to work with.

An office space. 

However, if you want to turn this into an apartment building, the offices offer a decent starting point for layout.
