Main Square, Residential complex near Danforth Avenue, Toronto, Canada
Main Square is a residential complex with four towers of varying height in Toronto's east end that integrates shopping, a retail plaza, and a community center at street level. The ground-level spaces house shops and public facilities that support everyday activities for residents.
The site was developed in 1972 on former Canadian National Railway land through a partnership between the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and private developers. This conversion of industrial railway property into residential housing shaped the neighborhood's growth significantly.
This complex functions as a residential hub that brings together different communities and serves as a gathering place in Toronto's east end. The ground-level shops and facilities create a natural meeting point where visitors see locals going about their daily routines.
The complex provides direct access to public transportation, particularly the Main Street subway station and multiple bus routes serving the area. On-site shops and services make it easy to explore without needing to travel far.
The tallest tower reaches 29 stories and offers sweeping views of Lake Ontario and the southeastern Toronto skyline. This elevated vantage point makes it a notable landmark in the eastern part of the city.
