Hard Lofts For Sale In Toronto Under $800K

Hard lofts in Toronto are still the most sought-after condo types in the city. Anyone looking for a unique space with history, charm, character and open floor plan wants a hard loft.

But in Toronto, hard lofts don’t come on the market very often because let's be honest: Once you’re in one you never want to leave. However, when one does come on the market it’s rarely reasonably priced — especially if it’s one of the more notorious buildings like the Toy Factory Lofts or The Candy Factory Lofts where the cost per square foot is over $1,000.

Strata.ca data shows the average price of a condo in the GTA is $740,669. But most of those places are cookie-cutter boxes in the sky.

So if you’re on a budget, but don’t want to compromise on aesthetics — here are several hard lofts that are currently available for under $800K.
