Own a Piece of Toronto's History at the Wrigley Lofts. Set within an old chewing gum factory, in the heart of Leslieville, Suite 209 offers the rare opportunity to own a hard loft in a landmark that has stood proudly in the neighbourhood for more than a century. From the moment you enter, you experience almost 14ft ceiling heights, oversized south-facing factory windows, and the building's signature mushroom columns create a dramatic backdrop for everyday living. Natural light pours throughout the open-concept interior, highlighting a layout that has been carefully curated for both style and function. You are welcomed with exceptional storage solutions, including newly installed vertical cabinetry and cleverly designed under-stair storage that maximizes every inch of space. The expansive living and dining areas flow into a huge U-shaped kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar that makes entertaining easy and everyday living enjoyable. Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom has been thoughtfully enhanced with additional storage and offers ample room for a bed and work space. The result is a private retreat that feels both spacious and practical.The features extend well beyond the suite itself. Included with the property is an owned parking space and an impressively sized private storage locker measuring approximately 11 by 7 feet with over 11-foot ceilings - offering storage capacity rarely found in condominium living. Originally built in 1912 the Beaux-Arts factory was modelled after Wrigley's iconic Chicago headquarters and remains one of Toronto's most authentic hard-loft conversions. Beyond the building, Leslieville's industrial heritage remains woven into the fabric of the neighbourhood. Former factories and warehouses now stand alongside acclaimed restaurants, independent cafés, local shops, and green spaces, creating one of Toronto's most vibrant and distinctive communities, now only steps away. **PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE: SAT + SUN 2-4PM**

Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Fair Market Value
At $999/sqft, this property is priced in line with current Leslieville market conditions. The pricing suggests the seller has done their homework. We may have modest room for negotiation, typically 2-4% in today's market.
Just Listed - Act Strategically
This property hit the market within the last week. In Leslieville's current market, desirable homes often receive multiple offers within 5-7 days. If you're seriously interested, I recommend booking a showing immediately. However, never let urgency override due diligence - we'll still do proper inspections.
Condo Considerations
For condos, I always review the status certificate thoroughly. Key things I look for: reserve fund health (should be well-funded), any upcoming special assessments, rules that might affect your lifestyle (pets, rentals, renovations), and the corporation's financial statements. We'll want to verify the monthly fees and what they include.
Investment Perspective
Looking at this as an investment: Leslieville properties have averaged 5-7% annual appreciation over the past decade. Your estimated monthly carrying costs would be around $4,163 (mortgage, taxes, insurance). Consider whether you're comfortable with this as both a home and a financial commitment.
Let's See It Together
Photos only tell part of the story. During our showing, I'll point out things the camera doesn't capture: neighbourhood feel, natural light quality, traffic noise, and overall condition. I'll also share what comparable homes have sold for and help you craft a winning strategy if you decide to move forward.
