Overview
Call it fear of missing out or simply wanting the best of both worlds. You're in the market, but you're torn between modern and historic, urban and green space, hard and soft in your search for a Queen West condo. At Plazacorp's Chocolate Co Lofts you'll find it all. Of the condos for sale in Toronto, Chocolate Co Lofts offers one of the best, most effective mixes of hard lofts with original architectural features, and new, more modern feeling soft lofts. You're also in an unbeatable location downtown in funky, vibrant Queen West, yet right across the street from one of the city's largest historic parks.
The Patterson Candy Co. built a plant at the corner of Queen St. W. and Massey in 1912 and continued expand and operate in that location, specializing in chocolate, until the late 1950's. Patterson's Full O’ Cream and Wildfire bars may be long gone, but today you can live in a sweet condo at Chocolate Co Lofts. Two original buildings were converted into hard lofts and united with a new six-storey addition in 2005. The result is a building that takes up a full city block and looks like it's always been there.
Inside, suites in the old part of the building show off fantastic original features like wooden posts, steel beams, exposed brick, huge windows, and soaring 12-foot high wood or corrugated metal ceilings. The new lofts have a Bauhaus feel with lots of concrete, floor to ceiling windows, barn style doors and a respectable 10 1/2 foot ceiling height. Amenities have been well thought out and include underground parking, a 24-hour concierge, fitness centre and a cool party room featuring a full kitchen and landscaped terrace.
So fear not, at Chocolate Co Lofts you're not missing out on anything.
