The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown
At the heart of Toronto, Downtown is the destination for cheap eats and fast fashion. Cut through by hip and trendy Yonge Street, the vibe here is young, with a strong student influence from the Ryerson University Campus. As a result, the Downtown area is always in flux: undergoing the construction of new facilities, with fresh retail spaces and pop-up cafes. Home to Toronto's largest indoor shopping mall, a number of vintage cinemas, and a healthy nightlife centered on the area's Distillery District bar and clubs near the East End, it's both an easygoing daytime spot and a popular party place after sunset. It also features some of Toronto's best outdoor landmarks, including Yonge-Dundas Square and the Nathan Phillips Square: perfect for a concert, a skate, or a relaxing sit-down.

Unique. The shape of the building is so unique and I immediately understood the nickname of the building, flat iron. It is very close to st. Lawrence market, so it is worth visiting if you are heading to the neighborhood.

With the city's modern skyscrapers, this 1892 structure stands out for its old looks and modest proportion. It's an architectural icon in Old Toronto and reminds you of how the city must have looked like during those days. It's definitely worth a quick visit. Very instagrammable. 😀

This was weirdly interesting. I googled the history of why this building is how it is and learned a few things. A noteworthy site.

Very reminiscent of the same named building in New York. Very photogenic when you can avoid the new construction.

One of my favourite buildings. Near the bottom of Yonge Street and on the East side of Berczy Park there is a clever mural facing the park, a bar and apartments in the building. It’s a great building, unusual in shape and far nicer to look at than a lot of the concrete and glass in downtown Toronto.

Building was pretty cool, pretty close to other things we wanted to see and wasn't crowded at all. We did walk past it and not realize at first though

The construction around it continues as people have mentioned already but this is a pretty cool building to check out and get a picture of if you’re in the area.

Cool building and a nice quick stop. Lots of construction going on so pictures are a little difficult but a must stop if you go to St. Lawrence Market.

Love the shape of the building, very quirky. Unfortunately there was some construction going on at the front so our photos don’t do it justice! The mural on the back of the building was very cleverly done. Glad we took the time to go there even though the weather was not great.
