If you are fortunate enough to live in Toronto’s Distillery District or if you frequently visit this popular neighbourhood, you may have noticed some new developments taking place in the area and you may have wondered what is being built.
As a full-time Toronto real estate agent who works in Toronto’s Distillery District and who has several clients who live in the Distillery District, I figured it would be helpful to provide some information as to what is currently being built as well as what may be built in the near future. Whether you live in 70 Distillery Lane, 390 Cherry Street, 33, 70 or 80 Mill Street and are wondering how these developments may soon affect your view and community or you are looking to purchase a property in the area and are curious as to what the area will have to offer in the near future, the information below may be helpful to know. Below is a list of the current developments that are already under construction as well as other developments that are in the pre-construction phase.
