The Candy Factory lofts building, located at the corner of Queen St. West and Shaw, is a truly authentic loft building, retaining the vintage feel from its old candy factory days. The original sand-blasted vaulted 14 ft. ceilings still remain, as well as the wood beams, columns and exposed brick. 377 suites are put together in a total of 6 floors, with the top level consisting of 2-storey penthouse suites, complete with spiral staircases.
Real loft living in the vibrant Queen West area could hardly be better here.

Meanwhile, the suites themselves contain plank hardwood flooring, fireplaces, open concept kitchens with center islands, and huge arched windows. The suites also contain many custom upgrades, as previous owners have made these spaces their own. Amenities in the building include an exercise room, party room, security systems, underground parking and a 24-hour concierge.
Suites may be sold or leased to the owner, with a range of prices depending on the suite type. For a one-bedroom suite in the Candy Factory lofts, the sale price is between $300,00 and $435,000, while the lease price is from $1,500 per month to $1,800 per month. The prices for a two-bedroom suite are $427,000 to $700,000 for a sale and $2,200 per month to $3,000 per month for a lease. A three-bedroom suite costs between $750,000 and $1,100,000 to buy, and $4,000 a month and $6,000 a month to lease.
