Located on the north side of Queen Street East at Sumach in the heart of historic Corktown, Dominion Square is one of Toronto's most notable industrial heritage assemblages. Originally constructed in 1878 as the Dominion Brewery by Robert Davies, the complex was at its peak a sprawling array of buildings, courtyards, and stables that defined Toronto's brewing and distilling district for nearly 60 years.
Following the brewery's closure in 1936, the surviving brick-and-beam structures were carefully restored between 1987 and 1990. Today, the property combines original red brick masonry and exposed timber beams with a modern glass elevator tower that opens striking views of the heritage interior, a rare pairing of Victorian industrial character and contemporary workspace amenity.
