Toronto’s inconic Flatiron Building Up For Sale!

StumbleUpon 0 Like 1 Retweet 0

One of Toronto’s most iconic buildings is up for sale. The Flatiron Building, a triangular red-brick office building at the corner of Front, Wellington and Church Streets, went on the market last week. Eve Lewis, president and CEO of Woodcliffe Landmark Properties, said her company is selling the building now because it’s the first time in about a century that the entire office component is available at once. The pub Flatiron and Firkin, located at the building’s base, has a lease that will keep it in the location until the end of 2015, but the law firm that has occupied the Flatiron’s office space for the last 15 years is leaving, she said. “It’s probably a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Ms. Lewis said. “We’ve restored the building and created as much value as we can.”
