About Downtown East

Encapsulating two of Toronto’s most historic waterfront neighbourhoods—the Distillery District and the Esplanade—Downtown East is one of the most exciting places to be in Toronto. The Esplanade is primarily residential, while the Distillery District contains both commercial shopping areas and offices (as well as some private residences).

Both parts of the lakeside Downtown East neighbourhood were originally constructed in the mid 1800s. They’re known for their beautiful heritage features, which showcase the best that the time period has to offer. Expect cobblestone streets, repurposed industrial-era buildings, and remnants of early Toronto railway and shipping lines.

From this waterfront community’s 19th-century blue-collar beginnings to the shopping and residential hub it is today, Downtown East has always been a bustling part of Toronto’s eastern lakeshore.

Who Lives Here

While this fascinating part of Toronto would appeal to almost anyone, the neighbourhood’s tight and condensed layout means there are few homes large enough to accommodate growing families.

What you will find is many modern condo buildings and redeveloped industrial-era lofts, which are ideal for singles and young couples. Those who want to enjoy the liveliness and historic beauty of the Distillery District can expect to pay a premium.

What's Great About It?

Since its redevelopment into a pedestrian-friendly commercial and residential area in 2001, the Distillery District has remained one of the most popular shopping and tourist destinations in the city.

Surrounded by iconic Toronto landmarks (namely the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, founded in 1832), this neighbourhood offers one of the most unique shopping atmospheres around.

With everything from high-end furniture stores and trendy restaurants to independent cafes and fun boutiques, there’s no shortage of things to see and do in the district. Not only that, but the area’s extremely popular Christmas Market (where live entertainment, incredible food, and artisanal goods converge) is a city-wide favourite.

Downtown East is also very close to major intersections, highways, and public transit. With the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard at your doorstep, it’s quick and convenient to get where you need to go.

Schools

Market Lane Junior and Senior Public School welcomes students in junior kindergarten through grade 8, while the Downtown Alternative School services students from kindergarten to grade 6.

St Michael’s Catholic School is another great option for elementary students, providing faith-based learning for children from k-8.

    Tucked discreetly behind Yonge Street, 18 Gloucester Lane is a rare property of understated distinction - a laneway address that quietly carries both architectural integrity and cultural presence. Built in 1912 and thoughtfully modernized, this five storey buff brick building remains one of Toronto's most evocative landmarks, offering discretion, provenance and unmatched centrality. Behind its timeless façade lies over 9,700 sq ft of space, scaled and grounded by heritage character - arched windows, exposed brick and beam, and expansive industrial proportions. For over four decades, this building was the creative home base for Norman Jewison - one of Canada's most internationally acclaimed filmmakers. From within these walls, major cinematic works were developed, produced, and edited. The building became an engine of cinematic output that blended Hollywood calibre with Canadian sensibility. A rare convergence of character and opportunity, the building is fully leased to professional tenants across the lower four floors, functioning seamlessly as a boutique investment property. But the essence of the building reveals itself above - a private fifth floor penthouse residence layered with cinematic soul and vintage warmth. Natural light animates the custom millwork, exposed walls and beams. Large windows frame views of Norman Jewison Park, while a dramatic herringbone brick fireplace anchors the central salon. And a concealed staircase leads to a tranquil primary suite above - a true pied-a-terre, offering intimacy in the heart of the city. Positioned within the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District, the building presents an opportunity to steward a legacy of meaningful heritage and cultural significance. Its scale, discretion, and location invite more possibilities: continue as a boutique investment property, adapt to a private family office or foundation, a design studio or gallery, or reimagine it as a fully integrated live/work residence.
