Shops of Summerhill
Legacy, Complete
Project Information
Originally constructed in 1892, the buildings south of the North Toronto Station underwent a comprehensive three-year restoration and expansion process. Today, they stand as a collection of premier retail shops known in the Rosedale-Summerhill community as “The Five Thieves.” The contemporary additions complement the existing heritage properties and feature striking Indiana limestone, a solarium, and a glass lobby.
The interior spaces at Terroni seamlessly blend original exposed brick and fireplaces with new architectural elements, including terraces which offer breathtaking southern views of the city skyline. The Shops of Summerhill is a noteworthy landmark for adaptive reuse in the City of Toronto, improving the liveability of the Rosedale-Summerhill neighbourhood.
