"We were instantly drawn to its historic façade and those beautiful original factory windows. At the time, nothing was available for sale, and we didn't want to rent, so we ended up buying a loft in the building next door, at the Garment Factory. It felt like a funny coincidence since I had just stepped away from a long career in fashion to start fresh here."
"About a year later, we moved again and built a home in Toronto's Greektown - another coincidence, given that I'm Greek."
"Then, two years ago, we decided to simplify our lifestyle and return to condo living. By total chance, my husband came across a rental listing for this unit on Facebook Marketplace. He never looks at the Marketplace section, but that day it seemed meant to be."
Dimitri Chris moved from a fashion label to interior design, bringing architectural shapes and sleek lines into a 1,200-square-foot industrial-style Toronto loft. The loft is shared with his husband, David Marinier, and their dog. The couple first discovered the building nearly ten years earlier and bought in the neighboring Garment Factory before later returning to condo living. A Facebook Marketplace rental listing led them to this unit. The space features soaring 15-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and sweeping downtown views that create a feeling of sleeping above the city, with careful attention to detail throughout.
