Property Description
Tucked discreetly behind Yonge Street, 18 Gloucester Lane is a building of rare architectural character and meaningful cultural history. Built in 1912 and thoughtfully modernized, this five-storey buff brick building remains one of Toronto's most evocative and understated landmarks, offering discretion, cultural provenance and centrality. Behind its timeless façade lies over 9,700 sq ft of space shaped by exposed brick and beam, arched windows and generous industrial proportions. For over four decades, the building was the production headquarters for Norman Jewison - one of Canada's most internationally acclaimed filmmakers. From within these walls, major cinematic works were developed, produced and edited. And the building continues to carry that quiet sense of intention and purpose. Once production workspaces, the lower four floors now function as self-contained modernized offices with kitchenettes, washrooms and elevator access on each level, operating seamlessly as a boutique investment. Above, the building's essence reveals itself in the fifth-floor penthouse residence - Jewison's former pied-à-terre. Retaining its cinematic atmosphere, the main level features a generous living salon area, anchored by a herringbone brick fireplace, an open office, a full kitchen, and a concealed private office. A hidden staircase leads to a half-storey, where the bedroom, dressing room and bathroom form a private retreat. Positioned within the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District, 18 Gloucester Lane invites stewardship. Its architecture, history and placement within the city's cultural fabric offer the chance to continue a legacy of meaning and significance. The building's scale, discretion and location invite more possibilities: continue as a boutique investment property, adapt to a private family office or foundation, a design studio or gallery, or a fully integrated live/work private residence. A building shaped by its past, ready for its next chapter. (id:24570)
