Church Conversion Loft

The Loft is a multi-dimensional space that could be rented for a couple getting away from the big city for a weekend of relaxation, or getting ready for your wedding. It also provides a perfect, romantic and intimate setting, both indoors and outdoors, to say “I Do”. It makes a great launching off point to Prince Edward County Wineries and Breweries. The Sandbanks Provincial Park is a short drive south through Bloomfield. The Loft is also close to the Harbour so it is ideal for the Boaters coming into Meyers Pier, The Bay of Quinte Yacht Club and Crates Marina. The Loft is located on a small lot only a few blocks form the Waterfront Trail in Belleville’s Foster Ward (The Warf). The Loft was formerly St Paul’s Anglican Church which was built in 1878 for the working class people that lived close to the Boat yards and industrial area of Belleville at the time. The owners purchased the Church in the summer of 2018. The congregation was getting smaller over the last decade and the Anglican Church closed the doors in 2017. The owners had a vison of repurposing the Church into an AirBNB with a Twist. Their love of intimate concerts in small halls lead them to design it with Musicians in mind. With the help of their designer Dora Christopher and their General Contractor Travis Spuehler their planning had begun. The owners wanted to maintain the Altar so the plan was to build a stage for performers. They were able to buy a Grand Piano from one of Tim’s clients that was moving outside the area and that became the focal point for the design. Construction began in the Spring of 2019. Travis Spuelher and his sub contractors were able to finish the project for the fall Grand Opening in October 2019. The feedback from the opening was fantastic.
