West Block
Back to GridBuilt in 1928 and rebuilt brick by brick in 2020, West Block is a mixed-use office and retail site anchored by Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart.
Status: Completed
Our Vision
Originally built in 1928, this iconic site carries Toronto’s past within its walls. When West Block was redeveloped in 2020, the building was meticulously rebuilt brick by brick, with each piece carefully returned to its original position to restore the historic façade.
Throughout the property, historical artefacts remain throughout the building, including wood salvaged from the former Queen’s Wharf and support columns from the Gardiner Expressway in the parking garage — be sure to spot them on your next visit to West Block.
Once home to the first Loblaws Groceterias warehouse, West Block now brings new life to the Lakeshore and Bathurst community, where retail, office, and residential spaces come together to form a vibrant urban hub.
Choice Properties’ Placemaking team formerly activated the West Block site with a large scale dominoes project–the first premier of this project in Canada.
