Toronto Real Estate Neighbourhoods: St. Lawrence Market

Posted Mar 5, 2008 @ 8:14 am, Viewed by 132 Visitors, Read 132 Times.

The St. Lawrence Market area used to serve as an industrial port back in the early 1900s. It had been neglected for decades when, in the ‘70s, Toronto refurbished the area. This is where Canada's Confederation began-in the historical St. Lawrence Hall building.

The St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood is known for its unique and vivid architectural style. One of its landmarks, the Flatiron Building, was built before its younger brother in Manhattan. One of two major markets flourishing in Toronto, The St. Lawrence Market offers fresh food and a variety of goods. Some of the original factories of the area have been converted into lofts, and recently a number of new condominium developments have been built here.
