The winner is Argyle Authentic Lofts, which was my second favorite.  Check out this building and the other winners on the HomeZilla Pug Map.  According to the National Post, Argyle Lofts brought in more than 91% of the popular vote.  The six storey Edwardian building houses 86 lofts, 11 of which are two-storey penthouse units. One great thing about this building is the curb appeal; it is great walking by at street level.

My personal favorite, The Broadview Lofts, came in second. The lofts, located at Eastern and Broadview, embrace their industrial roots. This allows the neighbourhood to keep its historic feel while at the same time moving forward. Queen St East has been transformed since the completion of the Broadview Lofs. I, for one, can’t think of a better example of one new building having a huge impact on a neighbourhood.
