Mirvish Village

The site of Mirvish Village was previously the home to the Honest Ed's Department Store for over 50 years. It was home to thousands of stories from the many immigrants who have come to Toronto that helped it become the multicultural global city it is today. Everything about the project is seen through this lens.A new community of 100% purpose-built rental, Mirvish Village is built on a rich history that Ed, Anne and David Mirvish began in 1948. Our goal when we were invited by David Mirvish to redevelop the site was not only to honour this legacy, but to build on the idea that Mirvish Village will represent this community and support its evolution.Designed as a new, vibrant community hub and gathering place, Mirvish Village integrates a new park and public market, an extensive public realm, micro-retail, 24 restored heritage buildings, unique restaurants and shops as well as numerous indoor and outdoor performance and gathering spaces all interwoven with public art installations including a mural by artist Frank Stella. The entire project is powered by a neighbourhood energy system by Creative Energy that helps it achieve reductions in energy use of over 30%.westbankcorp.
