Groceterias redux: Turning a decrepit icon into a mixed-use hub
Brick by brick, the old Loblaws warehouse at Lakeshore and Bathurst is ready to be rebuilt, restoring its Art Deco glory for a changing waterfront
It has been a long road for the Loblaws grocery store. In the 1930s, it was the king of a new neighbourhood created with landfill by the Toronto Harbour Commission 10 years earlier; in 1960, it survived the Gardiner Expressway. The last tenant, the Daily Bread Food Bank, moved out in 2000.

What a $3 million house looks like in Toronto
|
Houses in Toronto are really expensive. On average, purchasing a detached or semi-detached property costs in excess of a million dollars. That's partly because such properties are increasingly scarce and, for the most part, the majority of buyers appear willing to go into debt just to afford one.
