Overview
While the phrase “authentic hard loft” often conjures up images of hip couples living in former factory spaces, a select few conversions are of yet another breed. Already unique for their mystical qualities, church-to-loft conversions are harder to come by as well, making homes like the Sanctuary Lofts all the more sacred.
Originally built in the early 1900s, the architect behind the Dufferin Street Presbyterian Church was William R. Gregg — responsible for a number of other remarkable places of worship around the city in the late 1800s and into the turn of the 20th century. The structure has since been designated a heritage building, due to its distinctive style and status as a local landmark.
Today, 14 Toronto lofts with direct street access take up residence at 1183 Dufferin Street thanks to Concept Loft Developments. With both the exterior and the name hinting at the structure’s former function, the Sanctuary Lofts are comprised of 10 units in the original church building, along with 4 in a new addition to the east.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
