TORONTO
ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
The Entertainment District is diverse area in Downtown Toronto, known initially for theatre arts and live entertainment, the district is now open to many lounges and restaurants. The Entertainment District is bound from Front street to the south, Bathurst to the east, Yonge Street to the west and Queen Street as it’s the northern boundary. Although the area is not all entertainment, many commercial-retail and office properties currently reside in the area. The past 10 years saw a rise of high-rise condominiums spring up and as a consequence. Many entertainment venues were shut down completely or temporarily to allow for construction. Almost all buildings will re purpose the street-level retail and entertainment sector which will revitalize the area once again with the same public energy it once had.
