Leslieville 245 Carlaw Ave · Toronto
Toronto’s daylight studio, born in 1916.
A dynamic, open-concept production studio for photographers, filmmakers and brands — 16 ft ceilings, fluted columns and 14 ft west-facing factory windows.
The space
An elevated loft, flooded with light.
Located just north of Queen Street East in Toronto’s iconic Wrigley factory, the studio was designed to give local creatives an elevated professional photography and videography space — and a high-end setting for client meetings, team building and small events.
Over 1,000 square feet of bright, open space keeps the building’s original details: soaring 16 ft ceilings, fluted columns and concrete floors, tastefully updated with white brick walls, exposed pipes and a sleek, modern fireplace.

Watch the light move through the day.
Fourteen-foot factory windows face west, washing the room in soft, even daylight that warms into golden hour. Pair it with our blackout blinds and free in-house lighting for total control.

The history
A gum factory with a second act.
In 1916, the Wrigley Company built its first gum factory outside the U.S. right here in Leslieville, with architecture inspired by its original Chicago factory.
Production continued through both World Wars before the building was leased in the late ’60s and converted into premium lofts in the late ’90s. Today, its light-filled floors host Toronto’s creatives.
