How much is the cost Elizabeth!

[@SellingReality]

@@cynthiarandall5393 Depends on the loft building and location. For example, the last sale at The Candy Factory sold in April 2024 for $944 a sq ft. It was a renovated 1 bedroom 1228 sq ft with parking for $1,160,000.

Interesting top 5. I was looking to buy and toured Merchandise and Candy Factory when being converted. Effect of 500 units in Merchandise was all lofts less than 1,000 sq. ft had unlivable bowling alley style space, and a few just bizarre with 3 steps up / down in entrance hall. Also, in 1999, the area had no services at all, closest shopping was Rabba Foods on Wellesley. Candy Factory had some nice units but in 1999 they were overpriced, 30-50% more than equivalent house, and with high carrying costs they were still trying to sell 1 - 2 years after occupancy. TipTop came not long after but I was off the real estate market then. But I am glad to see them described in this video, they were new on Toronto scene, and seem to still be popular.
Gotham on King W. was occasionally referred to as first loft conversion with high praise. Wrigley lofts on Carlaw was available then and was surprising gem, very raw spaces, more true loft, not many left for sale. The best I saw was McMurtry on Dupont just east of Dufferin, but didn't get built, instead it's a townhome development. It was a bizarre chair factory, really old red brick, one demo loft built was phenomenal exposed brick true loft, other layout plans looked equally nice.

It's fascinating to reflect on how the loft market has evolved over the years. Back then, who could have predicted the soaring value of these lofts today? I completely agree with your observation about the smaller lofts at the Merchandise Lofts-they really were like bowling alleys with no windows.
Your experience with touring Merchandise and Candy Factory during their conversion days highlights some key points. The Merchandise Lofts, the smaller lofts often had those awkward and impractical designs, like the 3 steps up/down in the entrance hall and the very long hallway leading to the living area. And yes, back in 1999, the area was pretty underdeveloped, with Rabba Foods on Wellesley being one of the few nearby shopping options and many homeless shelters and Filmores, was just a few steps away.
The Candy Factory Lofts did have some nice units, but their high prices and carrying costs made them less appealing compared to houses at the time. It's interesting to note that they struggled to sell 1-2 years after occupancy.
It's great to see these lofts still being popular today, as discussed in the video. Their journey from new and challenging real estate options to highly sought-after properties is quite a story!
