What to Expect

Maintaining Retail, Adding Residential

The site will host retail space as well as enhanced facilities, and new residential spaces. The new mixed-use space will serve customers, residents and the community.

Preserving Heritage

The iconic façade from the original Grand Central Market building, completed in 1935 and owned by Canadian Tire since 1937, will be retained and integrated into the development. The building has been listed on the City of Toronto Heritage Register since 1986.

Enhancing the Public Realm

At the corner of Yonge Street and Church Street, there will be an open landscaped space made accessible to the public. Along Yonge Street, a new signalized intersection and widened sidewalk will improve the pedestrian experience.

Considerate Design

The building will have a distinctive design, while remaining considerate of the heritage element on site and the built form of the neighbourhood.
