About The Sterling Window Lofts
The Sterling Window Lofts are located at 283 Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. The eight levels above the first floor commercial space of the century-old Sterling Building were once offices and have now been beautifully transformed into a residential complex geared towards young professionals. The building is now host to 64 suites which are a combination of studio and one bedroom units. These "Micro-Apartments" which are the fastest growing trend in urban centers around the world, though compact, are filled with light from the large windows. The walls separating the living spaces from the bedrooms are kept low and have no doors in order to create an open and spacious unit. The finishes and fixtures are clean and modern, while complementing the Heritage elements of the building. Though suitable for residents of any age, these units were designed with the young "up-and-comers" who wish to take advantage of the energy and fast-pace of Winnipeg's rapidly evolving downtown and use the city as an extension of their dining and living space.
