Industrial Revolution II Lofts | 670 Richmond St W
Industrial Revolution II | True Hard Lofts with Rooftop Terraces in Queen West
📍 670 Richmond St W, Toronto – Queen West
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a real warehouse conversion with exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and authentic loft vibes, Industrial Revolution II is one of the most coveted true hard loft buildings in Toronto.
Originally built as a 1950s Decca Records warehouse, this boutique 12-unit building was converted by loft pioneer Bob Mitchell into some of the most impressive two- and three-storey lofts in the city. These aren’t your typical tiny condos—units here start at 1,000 square feet and go beyond 2,000, giving you massive open spaces, mezzanine-style bedrooms, and sky-high 12- to 20-foot ceilings.
And while some hard lofts suffer from a lack of outdoor space, Industrial Revolution II delivers. Ground-level suites have private patios, while the three-storey upper lofts come with rooftop terraces—complete with gas BBQ hookups. Some even have skylights to brighten up the space even more.
This isn’t a high-rise with a list of flashy amenities—there’s no concierge, gym, or pool—but that means maintenance fees stay low. You’re paying for square footage, history, and industrial charm, not a lobby that looks like a hotel.

⚠ And The Reality Check…
⚠ No Concierge, No Gym, No Pool – If you want hotel-style living, this isn’t the building for you. But if you want a historic loft with a rooftop terrace, keep reading.
⚠ Mezzanine Bedrooms = Open Concept – Some bedrooms overlook the main floor, which looks amazing but isn’t ideal if you need complete sound privacy.
⚠ Rarely Hits the Market – With only 12 units, lofts here don’t come up for sale often. If you’re serious, you need to move fast.
⚠ Converted in the Late ’90s – The lofts themselves have amazing bones, but finishes will vary depending on how past owners have upgraded their units.
