About Us
Community Overview
Our story began in the late 1980s when our building was originally a buzzing recreation centre with classrooms, dance studios, and squash courts. Fast forward to the late ’90s, and the interior of the building was reimagined into stylish, contemporary condos. In late 2009, the exterior received a sleek, modern upgrade, transforming it into the stunning building we now call “home”.
Westside Lofts is a dynamic and close-knit condo community that offers residents a unique blend of comfort, convenience, and community spirit. Located in the heart of the inner west of the city, our loft-style condos are designed for those who appreciate modern aesthetics and a sophisticated urban lifestyle. With a focus on fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment, Westside Lofts is committed to ensuring that every resident feels at home.
Our community is guided by a proactive condo board dedicated to maintaining the high standards of our shared living spaces and enhancing the quality of life for all residents. From the meticulous care of our gardens to the thoughtful maintenance of our facilities, every aspect of Westside Lofts is managed with care and attention to detail.
At Westside Lofts, we believe in balancing innovation with tradition. Staying connected with our residents is a top priority, which is why we emphasize regular communication through our newsletter. This platform ensures that all residents are well-informed about important updates, ongoing maintenance, community initiatives, and more. We take pride in our collective efforts to maintain a harmonious living environment where respect, responsibility, and neighbourly connections are key values.
Whether you’re looking to relax in our well-maintained common areas, participate in community events, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of your own space, Westside Lofts has something for everyone. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in everything we do, from our ongoing maintenance projects to our clear communication with residents.
Welcome to Westside Lofts, where urban living meets community spirit. We’re delighted to have you with us and look forward to building a bright future together!
