Montreal lofts: Lofts can be found through out metro Montreal. Montreal
lofts range price from $150,000 to $800,000+. The average price for
Montreal lofts is $200,000. Many lofts for sale in Montreal can be
from in Downtown, Plateau Mt-Royal, Westmount , Outremont, Vieux Montréal
(Old Montreal), and Laval. A true loft for Montreal (or "hard"
loft) is: a conversion of a vintage factory or warehouse, having a
harder edge of either concrete construction, or "mill" construction
of exposed brick and original wood posts, beams and floors. Ceilings
should be over ten feet high at least. This is increasingly very important
for loft purchasers, as developers are now building condos with slightly
higher ceilings than in the past. It is the height that helps give
a loft the feeling of air and space. Larger windows and open concept
layouts also help. Ceilings are unfinished and pipes and heating ducts
are exposed. Do not expect to find a 1,500 square foot loft divided
up into two bedrooms and a den. It will much more likely have a kitchen
and a bathroom with the rest of the space left as one large open room,
which you can work with and use according to your own functions and
needs. Some people think a loft means you have a second mezzanine
level overlooking the floor below, but this is simply one style of
loft. The other great thing about lofts is that most of them are zoned
live/work, which makes it easier to operate a business out of your
home. Check whether there are Quebec or federal tax advantages or
write-offs available. Another type of lofts in Montreal are newly
constructed lofts (or "soft lofts"), which are for the most
part "Condos With High Ceilings", and are examples of Montreal
condo developers trying to cash in on the popularity of lofts. Most
Montreal lofts built from scratch have very little character, and
in most cases, the ceilings aren't even all that high. The quality
of construction is sometimes disappointing, and quite often the location
is really the only selling point, since vintage lofts are usually
a little off the beaten track, not in the best neighbourhoods of Montreal.
