When homebuyers think of a traditional, hard loft-style unit, they imagine exceptionally high ceilings, exposed brickwork, open concept layouts, exposed beams and columns and sometimes repurposed hardwood floors…this and more is what The Candy Factory Lofts provides, coupled with its ‘hip location’ within the Queen West neighbourhood (993 Queen Street West)!Originally, this building was the factory for Ce De Candy Company back in the 1930’s (we all remember those yummy Rockets & Fizzers candy at Halloween time), the Metro Ontario Group teamed up with Quadrangle Architects and turned this historic factory into The Candy Factory Lofts by 2000. Standing at only 6-storeys tall and consisting of a total of 121 lofts, homebuyers can indulge into two different passions…investing in a historical building and obtaining a highly desired, dimensionally generous, Toronto loft!The exterior façade of The Candy Factory Lofts is traditional factory brickwork with interesting square & oval windows framed by dark steel. The lofts range in style, design and sizes, from 1-bedroom lofts (920 square feet) and scaling up to 2-storey penthouse lofts (4273 square feet). The interior features that homebuyers will see is 12 to 14-foot ceilings, plank hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, character beams and columns, sand-blasted exposed brick, modern kitchens with islands, high end appliances, open concept layouts and sharp & smart finishes.Within The Candy Factory Lofts building, buyers will find some amenities like a rooftop terrace with seating & BBQ stations, fitness centre, central air, underground parking with guest parking spaces, guest suite, party room, meeting/function room and security guard & concierge services. It is no surprised to homebuyers that there is higher than average potential to see a positive return on investment (historical average PSF). Harris Property Management oversees the daily operations of this building and attends to the needs of residents.The Candy Factory Lofts (993 Queen Street West) is surrounded by Shaw Street, Crawford Street and Adelaide Street, which is great news for public transit users (right at the corner of Shaw & Queen are both TTC bus and streetcar stops, with the closest subway stations being Osgoode station at Queen & University and St. Andrew at King & University (heading north on Ossington Avenue to Bloor Street gives commuters direct access to Ossington station).
