Retail

Once an aged industrial area, The Distillery District has been converted into one of the most prized neighbourhoods and must-see tourist destinations in Toronto, attracting millions of visitors each year. With more than 50 boutiques and one-of-a-kind shops The Distillery District has become a well-known destination for its “best in class” creative businesses and shopping opportunities that include everything from stylish fashions and trendy products to unique gifts and artisanal treats. Home to a wide spectrum of world-renowned festivals and events, the globally recognized Toronto Christmas Market attracted over a million visitors last year.

The retail heart of Dream’s master-planned Brighton development, Brighton Marketplace provides residents of this fast-growing community with access to everyday conveniences, health and wellness services, great restaurants, and entertainment for the whole family. Prominently located at the intersection of College Drive and McCormond Drive, the centre’s ~217,000 sf of retail includes leading retailers like Landmark Cinemas, Save-On-Foods, and The Keg – along with Saskatchewan firsts like Crumbl Cookies.

Canary District is a 35-acre master-planned community in Toronto’s downtown East end adjacent to Dream’s Distillery District and Canary Landing. It was originally built to serve 10,000 people as the Athletes Village for the 2015 Pan Am Games and was subsequently converted to a mixed-use, mixed-income legacy neighbourhood. In addition to diverse housing options, it includes a YMCA recreation centre, a student residence for George Brown College, and a carefully curated range of shops, restaurants, and local businesses, bringing local appeal and flavour to the community.
