Preservation

York Heritage Properties is dedicated to Toronto’s Architectural Heritage — Since the 1980s, York Heritage Properties and its dedicated principals and team have worked actively and enthusiastically as restorers and renovators of designated heritage structures and architecturally significant buildings in the City of Toronto.

In the St. Lawrence Market district, the company’s restoration of such properties as 67-69 Front Street East and the Daniel Brooke and Murchison Buildings at King and Jarvis Streets has served as a model for the refurbishment of other heritage structures in the historically rich and currently thriving neighbourhood. York Heritage’s restoration and retrofitting of the century-old Toronto Carpet Factory at King and Mowat has given rise to a similar phenomenon in Liberty Village, as others have followed in York Heritage’s footsteps by restoring other industrial properties in the neighbourhood.

In addition to these trend-setting projects, York Heritage Properties has spearheaded such successful preservation initiatives as the renovation of 11 Church Street and 70 Bond Street, as well as the initial renovation of 156 Front Street West, 50 Wellington Street East, 3 Church Street, 10 Alcorn Avenue, the York Liberty Buildings, 2 Fraser, 15 Fraser and 161 Liberty Street. York Heritage has also played an advisory or investment role in the renovation of several hundred thousand square feet of commercial buildings of similar historical and architectural value.
