The Well is a mixed-use (i.e. retail, office and residential) complex in Toronto, Canada.
The west side of the complex consists of mainly residential towers, while the eastern side is dedicated to the office space, including the head office for the Toronto Star. The lower level consists of several retail podiums interconnected by glass covered promenade.
History
Located in the Fashion District of Downtown Toronto, at the corner of Spadina Avenue and Front Street West, the site was once part of the Military Reserve attached to Fort York. Part of the military grounds were sold to Robert Sympson Jameson, who built his mansion, sold in the 1840s to Frederick Widder and renamed as Lyndhurst. The next tenant was Loretto Abbey.
After 1927 the mansion became a Jesuits seminary, demolished in the 1950s to make way for office and printing facilities built by Peter Dickinson for the newspaper Toronto Telegram. After the closure of the Telegram, the facilities hosted the Globe and Mail main offices and a Toyota dealership.
This new complex was then designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, BDP Quadrangle, Wallman Architects, and Adamson Associates Architects. First opened in 2022, it was completed in 2023.
