Welcome to our May 2015 e-Newsletter! This winter, Stollery's was torn down before the city had a chance to designate it as a historical building and some people are concerned this could happen with more buildings north of the core. Scroll down for a interesting piece from the Post and a list of endangered midtown heritage properties. Spring is always a busy time for Toronto: the Contact Photography Festival is happening across the city all month, John Street has received a pedestrian friendly renovation and of course, the housing market is at its busiest! You'll find April's market stats from the Toronto Real Estate Board below along with four new listings; a prime Casa Loma home, a city core townhome with a massive terrace, a two bedroom soaring sky-pad at X2, and a one bedroom plus den at 39 Jarvis in the heart of the St. Lawrence Market. As always, I thank you for your past and future business and any referrals you may have are greatly appreciated.

The Contact Photography Festival: May
One of the best things about this festival is that it's happening across the city, from Warden subway station to Parkdale. All you have to do to take part is look around!
This year's Festival presents a spectrum of Primary Exhibitions and Public Installations, drawn together to exemplify the extraordinary breadth and scope of photo-based imagery today. Click here for more information

Are midtown heritage properties at risk of being torn down?
|
In light of the recent loss of Stollerys and an overwhelming amount of development happening in the downtown core, residents worry not enough consideration is given to properties further north.
On Jan. 13, councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam put forth a motion to have the 114-year-old upscale men's retail store Stollerys at Yonge Street and Bloor Street West preserved as a heritage site.

John Street gets pedestrian-friendly summer facelift
|
Planters and seating areas will take up a lane of traffic on the east side of John between Queen and Adelaide streets until October 19, allowing passersby and the neighbourhood resto-bar patrons to hang out more comfortably along the strip. The one big difference from last year's pilot project is that the zone now stops short of the corners of Richmond and Queen.
