North Market Redevelopment
The Exciting Transformation of the North Market
In 2009, the City of Toronto invited the city’s best architects to compete for a chance to redesign the North Market building. On June 7, 2010 the City of Toronto announced the ‘Red Design’ by Adamson Associates Architects and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners as the winners of the competition.
The exciting new design is a four-storey structure that allows market shoppers to view life on Front Street, Jarvis Street and on Market Lane Park from within. Its glass atrium effectively creates an open indoor market that resembles a fresh, outdoor setting. Shoppers will also be able to see the South Market from inside the building and appreciate a dramatic view of St. Lawrence Hall to the north, creating a strong visual and physical harmony among all three buildings of the complex.
The new building is expected to be completed and operating in 2016.
