| The
neighbourhood is home to a large number
of older loft construction buildings
originally designed for warehousing
and light manufacturing. Many of the
buildings in the area have recently
benefited from major retrofits designed
to attract commercial office tenants
in fields such as software development,
internet, architecture, design, marketing,
advertising, publishing and film production.
Many new condominiuim buildings displaying
a variety of inovative architectural
designs are now dispersed throughout
the area.
They
are drawn to the interesting character
of the space available in the buildings
as well as the amenities of the area.
