The 4-storey building contains 28 units and preserves the industrial character of its heritage roots while offering contemporary loft-style living.

What's the neighbourhood like, and what's nearby?
Moss Park occupies a unique position in Toronto, situated between the historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood and the waterfront, just north of the Distillery District. The area is well-served by public transit, with the King streetcar line running along the neighbourhood's main corridor, providing direct connections to downtown and the Financial District. The neighbourhood is highly walkable, with King Street East offering a curated mix of independent shops, restaurants, galleries, and cafes within minutes. Close by you'll find the St. Lawrence Market, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, and various parks including Moss Park itself. The waterfront is accessible via a short walk, making this location attractive to those seeking urban living with easy access to lakefront recreation and cultural attractions.
What should buyers and renters consider about this building?
Prospective buyers and renters should know that Knitting Mill Lofts units are characterized by generous square footage, averaging 2,850 sq ft, which typically accommodates larger families or those who work from home. The loft-style design means open-concept layouts with high ceilings, which can translate to excellent natural light and flexibility in furniture placement, though some may find the industrial aesthetic requires a specific design sensibility. When evaluating units, inspect the condition of mechanical systems, as heritage conversions sometimes carry the cost of maintaining older infrastructure. Parking is available at the building, an important consideration in downtown Toronto where street parking is limited and expensive. Prospective residents should also discuss maintenance fees and building reserves with their real estate agent or property manager, as loft buildings often have higher upkeep costs due to their age and structural characteristics. Finally, inquire about the building's pet policy and any recent capital improvements, as these factors affect both lifestyle compatibility and long-term property value.
