Overview
Authentic hard loft conversion? Check. Contemporary soft lofts? Check. View of a sprawling, green park? Check. Located on one of the coolest streets in the world? Check. Lingering smell of chocolate? Maybe check.
Okay so the argument that residents can wake up to the smell of fresh cocoa in the morning is a bit of a stretch, especially since the original structure at 955 Queen Street West was built over 100 years ago, and closed down in the 1950s. On top of that, the building has functioned as converted residential homes for over a decade now.
Regardless, chocolate did once line the conveyor belts within the very walls that surround the Chocolate Company Lofts today. In fact, two buildings comprised the Patterson Candy Company’s factory space since 1912. These buildings have, since the site’s conversion in 2005, been connected by a modern addition, resulting in a building that combines the old and the new, and spans an entire block.
The prominent building is made of an inconspicuous light-red brick, with an abundance of windows hinting at the sunlit homes found within. A prominent sign sits atop the front doors, letting everyone on Queen Street know that living in a chocolate factory is really possible.
The conversion of the factories into homes, along with the six-storey modern addition, produced 144 Toronto lofts for soon-to-be well positioned Torontonians to move into. In particular, prospective buyers tend to be impressed by the 36 acres of green space that lies just across the street. Those concerned more with fashion than fir trees, on the other hand, will be pleased to hear that Vogue recently named this very strip of Queen Street, known as Queen West, as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world.
In terms of amenities found inside the building, residents are overjoyed that developers managed to find space for a gym, party room, and parking during the conversion process. Additional perks include a pet friendly policy, a security, and a concierge.
Thanks to its relatively large number of units, Queen West condos for sale at the Chocolate Company Lofts do actually appear on the market every now and then. However, prospective buyers interested in calling 955 Queen West home will have to jump at any opportunity they get: once on the market these homes can disappear before you have the chance to say YE—

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.
