300 Powell Avenue - Powell Lofts
A schoolhouse reborn as Powell Lofts
300 Powell Avenue — known as the Powell Lofts — is an inspired adaptive reuse of the former Borden High School by award-winning Charlesfort Developments, completed in 2004. The original 1905 schoolhouse was sensitively reimagined into 44 hard loft condominiums featuring 10, 14, and 18-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept layouts with sliding panels and curved walls, maple hardwood floors, stainless steel countertops, and private terraces or balconies. An exterior post-modern addition brings vast new expanses of glass to the building while preserving the character of the original brick. Condo fees include heat and central air conditioning.
