Commercial Property: 1140 Yonge
2 min read
1140 Yonge is a proposed 10-storey mixed-use development in the heart of Toronto’s vibrant Summerhill neighbourhood. Designed by AUDAX architecture for Devron Developments and Constantine Enterprises, this development will feature 64 condominium units, and approximately 14,000 square feet of commercial retail space.
The existing heritage building on site, originally built in the 1930s, has previously operated as a Pierce-Arrow car dealership, CBC Studio, and most recently, a Staples. The development plans aim to restore and incorporate elements of the original structure, drawing inspiration from its rich heritage. The architecture of 1140 Yonge will feature a stone façade, with the preserved large arch windows integrated into the lobby. The development will offer commercial spaces at the street level, including a proposed restaurant with an outdoor patio and retail storefronts. Through the restoration of the double-height arcade and the addition of intimate patio spaces, 1140 Yonge enhances the neighbourhood’s public realm and pedestrian experience. The building will offer a range of indoor and outdoor amenities, including two rooftop terraces, seamlessly blending Summerhill’s historic charm with contemporary luxury.
Situated at the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Marlborough Avenue, where Rosedale and Summerhill meet, 1140 Yonge provides convenient access to many restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and green spaces. With a walk score of 89 and transit score of 87, it’s a prime location that ensures seamless connectivity to Toronto’s many attractions
