The Commodore Building

Home to many older loft construction buildings originally designed for warehousing and light manufacturing purposes, most of the buildings in the area have been renovated to accommodate commercial office tenants. The buildings often appeal to businesses in creative fields such as software development, web design, architecture, design, marketing, advertising, communications, publishing and film production. Many new residential condominium buildings in the area are home to a large pool of talented employees, drawn to the cultural amenities of the surrounding Entertainment District, that staff these businesses. Within easy walking distance are: the Royal Alexandra Theatre, the Princess of Wales Theatre, Roy Thompson Hall, dozens of Restaurants, Cafes and Bars, Rogers Centre (home of the Toronto Blue Jays), the Air Canada Centre (home of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors), shopping in the renowned Eaton Centre or on eclectic Queen Street, the CN Tower, the Financial Core, University of Toronto and the world-renowned hospitals of University Avenue.
