Knitting Mill

The Knitting Mill Lofts sits on Queen Street East, between Parliament and River Street, offering one of downtown Toronto’s most authentic loft experiences. Because it contains only 28 exclusive units, it remains highly sought-after by those who value boutique urban living.

Originally built in the early 1900s as an industrial building, developers converted it into modern lofts in 1998. Despite its modern updates, the property retains its heritage charm with red brick walls, exposed wooden beams, and tall windows, while providing spacious, open-concept interiors.

Location & Neighbourhood

Moreover, the building lies between Corktown and Regent Park, giving residents easy access to cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and green spaces. In addition, residents remain just steps from Queen Street East’s shops and cultural attractions.

Building Features

The low-rise, four-storey building features a grey concrete exterior, and a circular window above the arched main entrance adds subtle flair. While a freight elevator services all floors, walking the four stair flights is easy. As one of the first industrial-to-residential conversions in the area, The Knitting Mill stands out for its authenticity.

Furthermore, the building keeps maintenance fees low, and a limited number of suites offer outdoor parking. Its understated design blends industrial heritage with modern comforts, making it an attractive option for urban professionals.

The Suites

Units range from 550 to 1,400 square feet, including studios and two-bedroom lofts. Most suites feature 11-foot ceilings, exposed ductwork, hardwood floors, and large windows, ensuring bright, airy interiors. Open-concept layouts allow sunlight to fill kitchens, living areas, and home offices.

Additionally, the renovation team gave each unit special attention, creating unique homes. For example, some penthouses include skylights and additional custom touches. Exposed brick and slatted wooden ceilings enhance the authentic loft feel, while generous windows provide natural light throughout.

Furthermore, their combination of heritage character, modern finishes, and prime downtown location appeals to professionals, creatives, and small families alike.
