📍Address: 552 Huron Street (Land for Sale) 🗺️ Area 📍Address: 552 Huron Street (Land for Sale)
🗺️ Area: Annex
📐 Lot: 25 x 130

Rare land-value offering in Toronto’s highly sought-after Annex neighbourhood. This detached property sits on a 25 x 130 ft lot and is being sold strictly for redevelopment purposes. Located within the City of Toronto’s Major Transit Station Area (MTSA), the property supports single-family or multiplex residential development as-of-right under current planning policy. Preliminary zoning review suggests the potential for approximately 4-6 residential units (~4760sf), together with a possible garden suite (~880sf), subject to compliance with applicable by-laws, performance standards, servicing capacity, and municipal approvals. This designation may provide a streamlined pathway for gentle density intensification, subject to buyer due diligence. Positioned steps from Bloor Street, subway access, and the University of Toronto, the site offers the fundamentals for long-term redevelopment in an established, transit-oriented neighbourhood with consistent rental demand. Ideal for investors, builders, or developers seeking a well-located urban infill opportunity.

Last weekend Geary Avenue turned into one big art Last weekend Geary Avenue turned into one big art gallery 🖼️🎨🎭
The Geary Art Crawl (March 7–8) brought together 30+ artist-run studios and workshops, opening up creative spaces that you don’t normally get to see. Industrial buildings, hidden studios, and unexpected corners of the street transformed into places to explore art, meet artists, and wander through the neighbourhood in a completely different way.
The central hub kept the energy going with music, food, and drinks, and plenty of Geary Avenue favourites joined in with pop-ups and special programming. 🥁🎶
Events like this are part of what makes the west end so interesting, you never quite know what’s behind the next warehouse door.
