Once a forgotten telecom storage site, Tel Lofts is now home to 24 of downtown Dartmouth’s most unique hard loft units, and to Rebel Studio—a fitness studio with a cult following. We loved the bones of this imposing building, and immediately identified the inherent value that could be celebrated with a re-imagination. With a modern 70ft addition, this building is now home to a ton of people looking for the urban experience, and even more looking to get their sweat on.

The heart of this boutique project is the conversion of a 1950s industrial building with a modern addition. Tel Lofts is designed by award winning Abbott Brown Architects and is emblematic of the way Sidewalk works to celebrate the inherent value of heritage buildings.
