Loft neighbourhoods
Toronto’s loft stock sits where its industry sat. 32 neighbourhoods have enough catalogued buildings to be worth a guide of their own; the rest are covered in the full catalogue.

How these are grouped
Neighbourhood boundaries in Toronto are informal and they overlap. Where the catalogue records a building under a compound label — “Riverside / Leslieville”, say — it is grouped under the first area named, so it appears in one guide rather than creating a near-empty second one. Each building’s own page still shows the area exactly as it is recorded.
A neighbourhood needs at least 3 catalogued buildings to get a guide. Across all 287 buildings that produces 32 guides covering 54 distinct areas.
Building details compiled from public sources and believed accurate; verify before relying on them.
