LOBLAW GROCETERIAS BUILDING
THE FIRST BRICK CEREMONY
– ESTABLISHED 1928 –
Choice Properties REIT and Wittington Properties Limited unveiled updated
plans for the Loblaw Groceterias building during a ceremony honouring
the preservation of the first brick taken from the building’s facade. The first
brick ceremony included remarks from development partners Tony Grossi,
President of Wittington Properties Limited; John Morrison, President and
CEO of Choice Properties; Terry Hui, CEO of Concord Pacific Group of
Companies, the parent company of Concord Adex; as well as Mayor John
Tory and Councillor Joe Cressy. In his speech, John Morrison described
the beginning of the restoration process, in which the building’s stones and
nearly 100,000 bricks will be dismantled, labeled, stored in Port Credit,
cleaned, and eventually reassembled on site. Mayor John Tory praised the
mixed-use nature of the project and credited the site with welcoming visitors
to the city from Billy Bishop Airport.
In 1919, Theodore Pringle Loblaw and J. Milton Cork opened the first
Loblaw Groceterias store modeled on a new, radically different self-serve
retail concept in Toronto.
By 1928 the grocer had 69 stores across Ontario. The state-of-the-art
Loblaw Groceterias Warehouse & Head Office also opened, in the new
and mostly undeveloped lands at what is now 500 Lake Shore Blvd. W.

The chains co-founder, dubbed the “Merchant Prince” by the press,
unexpectedly passed away in 1933 at the age of 60. By then, the number
of Loblaw Groceterias’ locations had continued to grow and by 1936 had
grown to over 150 stores in Canada and the United States. By 1939, the
Loblaw Groceterias’ signs were replaced by the first “Loblaws” signs on
store facades. Now, in 2015, it’s time to reestablish this historic site.

West Block, a true landmark multi-use development,
is located on the northeast corner of Lake Shore Blvd.
and Bathurst St. in downtown Toronto. Anchored
by a 50,000 sq. ft. Loblaws flagship supermarket,
11,000 sq. ft. restaurant, offices and 87,000 sq. ft. of
additional retail, it is a remarkable feat of restoration,
rebuilding and reuse of a listed heritage property.
Rising majestically above this iconic structure, The
LakeShore Condominiums will redefine the concept
of transformative urban living by offering residents

easy access to Lake Ontario, Harbourfront, and all of
the city’s sports, cultural, entertainment, shopping and
dining venues by foot or public transit. The LakeShore
will be one-of-a-kind. Exceptional lake and city views.
Refined suite design. Inspired features and finishes and
a compendium of life, health, and fitness amenities like
none other.
This is The LakeShore. Life in full.

THE LAKESHORE
CONDOMINIUMS
The LakeShore, in essence, is two slim towers merged, at
their base, into the refurbished 1928 Loblaw building. The
visual juxtaposition of definitively chic and contemporary
with early 20th century brick and ornamental stone is
pure genius. The west residential tower has 37 storeys
and its eastern counterpart, 41 storeys. Both are reached
from a spectacular vehicular courtyard featuring a
rectangular pool with fountains. A modern take on the
Grand “Piazza” courtyards of century-old European
palaces. When completed, it will be one of the city’s
most admired and emulated architectural forms. The very
definition of timeless design.
We’re not above bragging that this is the
city’s most complete neighbourhood, when
you consider the alternative. You can be
on the Martin Goodman Trail in seconds,
jogging, biking, walking or sitting shoreside
of Lake Ontario.
Just north, on King and Queen Street
West, you’ll discover much of Toronto’s
coolest cuisine. Restaurants, cafes, clubs,
and bars. The old saying “Toronto the
good” is even better at The LakeShore.
Enjoy it for all it’s worth.
Shop or sail at Harbourfront, take the
streetcar to the city centre (there’s a stop
outside The LakeShore’s door) and the
Rogers Centre, Air Canada Centre and
BMO Field are all yours.
Take in a concert at Roy Thomson
Hall or experience ballet at the Four
Seasons Centre. Catch “Broadway” in
the Theatre District or just shop-till-youdrop anywhere downtown.

SPA & FITNESS
Retail therapy is cool but fashion is usually a passing pleasure. Think shopping for your body, mind and well-being. Ergo the extensive amenities at The LakeShore.
The LakeShore’s amenities are all encompassing, a topography of elements to delight everyone. Work out in the state-of-the-art fitness zone, connect your innermost
being in the yoga studio. Spoil yourself in the resort-style spa, a sanctum for your inner self. There’s also a theatre, study rooms, lounges for kids and a playroom,
a pet spa, party room and billiards nook. Outside the list of indulgences push the boundaries of excess. An outdoor playground, mini golf, hopscotch court and
workout area. There are sun lounges galore, a yoga/tai chi deck, outdoor meeting/dining rooms, fireplaces and cook/barbeque areas. There are lush gardens
and Japanese-inspired tea rooms. There’s even guest suites for overnight visitors. The list is as long as your imagination. But, if it’s shopping you want, just go
downstairs to the giant Loblaws, pick up the latest fashions or a bottle of wine. At The LakeShore everything, yes everything, is here for you.
SEE IT,
BREATHE IT,
LIVE IT.
The views from the residences at The LakeShore
are an everchanging seescape of vistas that change
hourly, daily, and seasonally. The reflection of city
lights in the azure evening water of the lake. The
skittering white sails covering the harbour on a sunny
summer weekend. Soft snowflakes dancing past
your balcony on a winter night. Close your eyes, now
open them. It’s a perpetually changing canvas.
Artist’s impression to illustrate the view of a certain location of the building and may not represent a specific unit layout or window mullion design.
KITCHEN & BATHROOM
Over ornamentation is so yesterday. It is the lack of a grand gesture that makes interior spaces at The LakeShore
so quintessentially modern. Unobtrusive clean, clear lines of kitchen and bath cabinets, ergonomic and functional,
built to accommodate everything needed for your rituals of daily life. The same aesthetic carries through every
room, in every suite. It’s clarity of design, an open canvas to paint the colours of your life.
