Queen's Quay Terminal

Queen's Quay Terminal

Queen's Quay Terminal was a cold storage facility, the Toronto Terminal Warehouse, built in 1926 by Moores & Dunford (NYC) and converted to a condo/mall complex in 1983 (The southwest section was demolished and forms the south end of the parking lot between Queen's Quay Terminal and the EnWave PowerPlant). The renovations by Zeidler Roberts added 3 floors to the original 10 floor structure, for a total of convert|750000|sqft|m2 of space. The New York Times mentioned it as an example of successful revitalization efforts in Toronto during the 1980s.
