43 Hanna Ave, Toronto
Overview
Founded in the early 1900’s, this property was originally home to the Irwin Toy factory, Canada’s oldest toy company. In 2008, Lanterra Developments transformed the building into an award-winning mixed-use commercial and residential space, known in the Liberty Village neighbourhood as Toy Factory Lofts .
Situated near the corner of Hannah Avenue and East Liberty Street, these Toronto lofts are a popular choice among young urbanites. With a mix of authentic hard-lofts and new soft-lofts on the highest floors, this eight-storey structure is a truly inspiring example of the bright and airy atmosphere expected of modern lofts. With units offered in one and two-bedroom layouts, some with extra den space, the Toy Factory Lofts boast some of the most creative and spacious spaces in the area, plus some suprising amenities.
A home to young professionals in the design and film industries, Liberty Village has many new and interesting restaurants, cafes and bars to explore, not to mention recreational centres and easy access to Toronto’s Entertainment District and the Waterfront.
