The Knitting Mill Lofts
A four-storey, 28-unit conversion of an early-twentieth-century factory at Queen and Sackville.
Overview & history
The building worked as a factory before conversion; sources identify a fabric or knitting mill use, and one records the Quaker Candy Company as the first traceable tenant. The 1998 conversion produced 28 units, from bachelor suites to two-bedroom lofts.
Interiors keep red brick, heavy beams, exposed ductwork, slatted wood ceilings, hardwood and tall windows, with ceilings around 11 feet. There are four storeys over a basement set roughly half below grade, and a vintage freight elevator.
Timeline
The building runs as a textile or knitting mill, the use that named the condominium.
Paul de Haas and the Haastown Group convert the factory into 28 lofts, the group's first conversion.
